In office sampling of eosinophil peroxidase to diagnose eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 36-44, January 2025.
Abstract Background Practical biomarkers for endotypic characterization of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remain elusive, hindering clinical utility. Eosinophil peroxidase (EPX) is an enzyme released by activated eosinophils. The objective of this study was to evaluate a clinic EPX assay as a marker of eosinophilic CRS.

Lacrimal Outflow Mechanisms and the Role of Scintigraphy: Current Trends

World Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2014
Lacrimal outflow can be compromised by anatomical obstructions or stenoses (nonfunctional epiphora) or by defective lacrimal "pump" function (functional epiphora). Although classic imaging modalities, such as X-ray dacryocystography, computed tomography,

Retrospective study in 1020 cases on the rate of surgical site infections after lacrimal surgery without prophylactic systemic antibiotics

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 102, Issue 8, Page 963-967, December 2024.
Abstract Background/Aims Data regarding the effectiveness of prophylactic systemic antibiotics (PSA) in lacrimal surgery is scarce. Therefore, we determined the postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) rate in lacrimal surgery without PSA. Methods We retrospectively analysed files of patients who underwent external (extDCR) or endoscopic endonasal ...
