Interspecies Biofilm Dynamics Among Staphylococci: Inflammatory Contributions to Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Staphylococcus species are frequently isolated from the sinonasal niche of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. While Staphylococcus aureus is often associated with recalcitrant CRS, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus lugdunensis are largely deemed commensal.

Complications and Clinical Outcomes Following Modified Endoscopic Denker's With Pyriform Aperture Preservation: A Prospective Analysis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The modified endoscopic Denker's (MED) approach provides access to all maxillary sinus (MS) walls for resection of various MS and retromaxillary pathologies, but the anteromedial maxilla has historically been resected. This study determined complication rates and outcomes following MED with pyriform aperture (PA) preservation ...

Chronic alcohol consumption compromises gut barrier integrity and promotes endotoxemia: Implications for sepsis susceptibility in immunocompromised hosts

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Chronic alcohol exposure disrupts intestinal barrier integrity, resulting in a leaky gut and enhanced translocation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and microbial products into the systemic circulation. Alcohol‐induced endotoxemia drives exaggerated pro‐inflammatory responses, mitochondrial damage, and activation of the cGAS–STING pathway, particularly in ...
