Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of treatment for patients with nasal obstruction secondary to allergic rhinitis and nasal septal deviation on sleep quality. The research found that treatment for allergic rhinitis and nasal septal deviation significantly improved subjective sleep quality, but there was insufficient data to demonstrate improvement in objective metrics of sleep quality.

Summary: This study explored the clinical and laboratory characteristics of asymptomatic allergen-sensitization with septal deviation (ASSD). It was found that ASSD patients were less sensitized to house dust mite and had a higher male-to-female ratio compared to the true AR group. There were no significant differences in age, family history, and body mass index between the two groups.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of temperature-controlled radiofrequency device (RFD) treatment in improving nasal obstruction symptoms. The results showed that RFD treatment significantly improved patients' quality of life and nasal obstruction. Further randomized clinical studies on larger cohorts are needed to validate its efficacy in enhancing nasal valve function.

Summary: Patients with Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) show distinct histological changes in their nasal mucosa, including more squamous metaplasia and goblet cell metaplasia compared to control group. Biopsy of the inferior turbinate may aid in diagnosing ENS.

Summary: The study found that using manuka honey as a prebiotic treatment can improve clinical symptoms and nasal microbiome composition in patients with atrophic rhinitis. After treatment with manuka honey, endoscopic scores and clinical symptoms improved, with decreased inflammation, restoration of mucus glands, and increased expression of GPR43 in the nasal cavities.

Summary: Congenital nasal obstruction can cause respiratory distress in newborns, with various causes including inflammatory rhinitis and conditions like choanal atresia. Diagnosis often involves nasal endoscopy and imaging, with management strategies tailored to the specific etiology and severity of symptoms.

Summary: This study used computational fluid dynamics simulation to predict the airflow in a patient's nasal airways before and after inferior turbinate reduction surgery. The results showed that the surgery redistributed the airflow, improved symptoms, and enhanced the nasal air conditioning ability.

Summary: This study evaluated the therapeutic effects of vitamin E in patients with primary atrophic rhinitis, showing that patients experienced improvements in nasal mucosa and airflow sensation. The treatment led to increased nasal airflow, reduced mucociliary clearance time, and significant improvements in nasal mucosal hydration.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of submucosal thulium laser turbinoplasty in children and compared it with partial inferior turbinectomy. The results showed that submucosal thulium laser turbinoplasty significantly improved airflow and functional outcomes, with fewer complications compared to partial turbinectomy.

Summary: The study successfully translated and validated a German adapted version of the Empty-Nose-6-Item-Questionnaire (ENS6Q) for assessing subjective symptoms of empty nose syndrome patients, demonstrating high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The ENS6Q-GAV showed significant discrimination between patients with empty nose syndrome and the control group, with high sensitivity and specificity based on receiver-operating characteristics curve analysis.

Summary: Endocrine surgery has made significant advances in recent decades, expanding surgical and nonsurgical techniques. The use of newer generation robotics allows for more flexibility and better tactile feedback. Autofluorescence technology shows promise in identifying parathyroid glands and reducing the risk of hypoparathyroidism. Future research will incorporate artificial intelligence to improve preoperative assessment and intraoperative decision-making.
