AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 112 patients over 16 years old with chronic sinusitis using CT scans, excluding various sinusitis forms and prior surgeries.
- Results showed significant links between chronic sinusitis and specific nasal structures: ipsilateral septal ridges or spurs (33%), unusual ipsilateral deflexions of the uncinate process (31%), and contralateral septal deviations (42%).
- However, no link was found for other anatomical variants like concha bullosa or hypertrophic ethmoid bulla.
Article Abstract
Using CT scan, we studied the influence of the most important sinonasal anatomic variants on 112 patients, aged more than 16 years, suffering from recurrent, persistent or chronic sinusitis. The series was characterized by the absence of: multifocal sinusitis, polyposis, dental or mycotic sinusitis, traumatic, tumour, actinic or prior surgery. We compared our results with those of the literature. Our findings confirmed the association between recurrent, persistent or chronic sinusitis, and ipsilateral septal ridges or spurs (33%), unusual ipsilateral deflexions of uncinate process (31%), and contralateral septal watch glass like deviation (42%). We found no correlation for the other studied variants (concha bullosa, paradoxical curve of middle turbinate, pneumatised uncinate process, hypertrophic ethmoid bulla, Haller cell and accessory maxillary ostium).

The persistent emergence of COVID-19 variants and recurrent waves of infection worldwide underscores the urgent need for vaccines that effectively reduce viral transmission and prevent infections. Current intramuscular (IM) COVID-19 vaccines inadequately protect the upper respiratory mucosa. In response, we have developed a nonadjuvanted, interferon-armed SARS-CoV-2 fusion protein vaccine with IM priming and intranasal (IN) boost sequential immunization.

Epileptic spasms (ES) are a unique seizure type typically presenting in the form of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) with characteristic hypsarrhythmia on scalp EEG and a preponderance with developmental delay or regression. While pharmacotherapy is the mainstay of treatment, surgical options, including disconnective or resective procedures, are increasingly recognized as viable therapeutic options for recurrent or persistent ES. However, limited data on safety, effectiveness, and prognostic factors hinder informed decision-making regarding surgery indications, timing, and intervention type.

To assess the efficacy and safety of "one-stop" procedures combining radiofrequency catheter ablation and left atrial appendage closure by guidance of intracardiac echocardiography(ICE) in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent ICE-guided "one-stop" procedures at the Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command between December 2020 and January 2023. Patients were divided into elderly group (age≥60 years old) and non-elderly group (age 18-59 years old).
