109 provocations with rhinomanogram were performed, 107 of them showed the following results: When there was a skin reaction of 2/5 according to Hansen, provocation and strength of intracutaneous test revealed a significant correlation. The most eminent win of information was achieved in 61% by challenge with housedust, whereas it was about 30% by challenge with mite or pollen. The most important indication for nasal challenge is the control of the clinical relevance of an allergen in view of a planned hyposensitization therapy. In particular, a nasal challenge should be performed prior to a hyposensitization with housedust and when the history of the patient and the results of intracutaneous tests are contradictory.

Midface fractures present a clinical challenge in otorhinolaryngology due to their often complex injury pattern and nonspecific symptoms. Precise diagnostics, including differentiated imaging procedures, are required. Interdisciplinary consultation between otorhinolaryngology, maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology is often necessary.

Susceptibility to and severity of pulmonary infections increase with ethanol consumption. We have previously shown that ethanol-induced changes in the gut microbiome disrupt gut homeostasis, allowing for the translocation of proinflammatory mediators into the circulation and eliciting an immune response in the lung. Additionally, targeting the gut with butyrate supplementation not only rescues ethanol-induced disruptions to gut health but also reverses aspects of immune dysregulation in the lungs.

Chronic cough is a common clinical condition requiring comprehensive assessment. This review employs a symptom-focused approach, prioritizing the presenting symptom of "chronic cough" to mirror real-world clinical practice. Ten key questions regarding the investigations in the uncertain areas were systematically addressed based on the PICO framework and applying the GRADE system for evidence synthesis to provide the strength of recommendation and quality of evidence for key questions.
