open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In this cross‐sectional study of 62 adults, olfactory cleft (OC) pH was lower than that over the respiratory mucosa (RM), with repeated testing resulting in more alkaline pH and olfactory testing having no effect. OC pH, but not RM pH, was negatively correlated with odor identification scores and predicted 18% of the variance in these scores.

Treatment of gastric cancer cells with non-thermal atmospheric plasma generated in water [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) can be applied to living tissues and cells as a novel technology for cancer therapy. Even though studies report on the successful use of NTAP to directly irradiate cancer cells, this technology can cause cell death only in the upper 3-5 cell layers.

Bariatric Surgery Lowers Incidence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and increased recurrence of CRS after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). This study found that in patients with obesity, undergoing bariatric surgery decreases the risk of new‐encounter diagnoses of CRS and results in fewer FESS.
