Inter‐Crystal Spacing of Implantable Polymeric Surfaces as a Key Suppressor of Microbial Adhesion.
Small, EarlyView.Biofilm formation on implantable devices is addressed by controlling inter‐crystal spacing in shape memory polymers. Repeated shape recovery aligns and enlarges crystalline phases and reduces amorphous regions, enhancing bacterial repellency. Three biofilm‐forming bacteria show reduced adhesion, and a one‐year dog bile‐duct model maintains function ...

Resolution of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction with conservative management
, 2017 Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction is the commonly encountered congenital anomaly in pediatric population occurring in as many as 30% of new borns. Conservative management of such condition with topical antibiotics and properly performed massage of

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Endoscopic orbital surgery is likely a reasonable option for patients with orbital cavernous hemangiomas (OCH) medial to the optic nerve (ON). The endoscopic resection of OCH lateral to the ON is extremely challenging. Zhou et al. first described the endoscopic prelacrimal recess approach (PLRA) for the management of the maxillary sinus and ...

Surgical Management of Non‐Allergic Rhinitis—An EAACI Task Force Position Paper
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Non‐allergic rhinitis is a frequent yet underdiagnosed cause of chronic nasal symptoms, including nasal congestion, rhinorrhoea, and upper airway hyperreactivity. Its pathophysiology involves neurogenic dysregulation, leading to excessive mucus production and vasodilation.

Adult nasolacrimal duct obstruction
Journal of Osteopathic Medicine, 1994 Abstract Tear production resulting from obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct is a common ophthalmic problem. The diagnosis and treatment of this condition require a thorough understanding of the lacrimal apparatus and its ocular and nasal relationships. Idiopathic or primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a syndrome of unknown

Endoscopic examination of the nasolacrimal duct in ten horses
, 2011 Summary Reasons for performing study: No endoscopic examination of the nasolacrimal duct has been described before. In contrast with other imaging techniques, endoscopy provides a direct inspection of the intralumen and ductal mucosa in standing sedation.
