Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, VA, USA.
Background: The Sino-nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) is a 22-question survey that is utilized to evaluate health-related quality of life of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The Patient Global Impression Symptom Severity (PGISS) is a similar yet versatile instrument that combines features of both a Likert scale and a visual analog to assess symptom severity in CRS patients. While previous studies have evaluated the validity of SNOT-22 as an instrument to measure CRS patients' symptom severity, no studies have evaluated PGISS scale's ability to evaluate and guide treatment plans for CRS patients.

Background And Objective: Septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery (STR) is hypothesized to affect pulmonary function by modifying airway dynamics. This study investigates the impact of STR-mediated improvements in nasal patency on pulmonary function tests (PFTs).
Methods: In a prospective analysis, 37 adult patients undergoing STR were enrolled.

Deparment of Ophthalmology, Mengücek Gazi Training and Research Hospital, Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University, Erzincan, Turkey.
BACKGROUND The 6-item Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) is a method for evaluating disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study included 78 patients with active and inactive AS and aimed to evaluate anterior and posterior segment ocular changes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-eight patients and 70 control subjects were enrolled in this study.

Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases and Allergy, Medical University of Warsaw, Banacha 1a, Warsaw, 02-097, Poland.
Background: Pathobiology of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with changes among respiratory epithelium structure and function. Increased levels of PM from urban particulate matter (UPM) are correlated with enlarged rate of asthma and COPD morbidity as well as acute disease exacerbation. It has been suggested that pre-existing pulmonary obstructive diseases predispose epithelium for different biological response than in healthy airways.

School of Pharmacy, Anhui University of Chinese Medicine, Hefei 230012, China. Electronic address:
Chrysanthemi Flos has been consumed as floral tea for centuries, but the effects of stir-frying on its chemical profile, sensory characteristics, and bioactivity remain unclear. This study used untargeted metabolomics, sensory assessment (E-eye, E-nose, E-tongue), and antioxidant activity evaluation to investigate compositional changes and their effects. In the metabolomics analysis, a total of 101 non-volatile and 306 volatile differential metabolites were identified.
