Limitations of PICADAR as a diagnostic predictive tool for primary ciliary dyskinesia

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences
BackgroundThe Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Rule (PICADAR) is a diagnostic predictive tool currently recommended by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) to assess the likelihood of a primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) diagnosis.

Opsoclonus in Pediatric Patients: Differential Diagnosis and a Practical Approach to Evaluation

open access: yesAnnals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Opsoclonus is an ocular dyskinesia characterized by involuntary, arrhythmic, multidirectional saccades. In pediatrics, opsoclonus is most commonly attributed to the rare neuroinflammatory disorder opsoclonus‐myoclonus‐ataxia syndrome (OMAS), typically considered a paraneoplastic syndrome associated with neural crest tumors. However, opsoclonus

Primary ciliary dyskinesia: improving the diagnostic approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) has relied on analysis of ciliary motility and ultrastructure; however, these tests are not readily available and have not been standardized. Consequently, the diagnosis of PCD may be delayed or missed or

Obesity and Its Impact on Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The rising prevalence of obesity introduces challenges in surgical contexts, including endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the impact of obesity on ESS outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the association between obesity and surgical complexity, operative

Factors influencing age at diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia in European children.ERS Task Force on Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in Children. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a hereditary disorder of mucociliary clearance causing chronic upper and lower airways disease. We determined the number of patients with diagnosed PCD across Europe, described age at diagnosis and determined risk ...

Inflammatory Shift in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Amidst Guangzhou's Urbanization (2000–2018)

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) exhibits temporal and geographic diversity in pathological endotypes with progressive eosinophilic infiltration, while the underlying causes remain unclear. Current pathological endotypes determination relies on mean cell count per high‐power field, requiring accuracy optimization.

COVID-19 Vaccinations: Perceptions and Behaviours in People with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

open access: yesVaccines, 2021
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disease that causes recurrent respiratory infections. People with PCD may be at higher risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and therefore vaccination against severe acute respiratory ...

Efficacy of Full and Limited Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps: A Randomised Controlled Trial

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Both Full and Limited FESS result in clinically meaningful relief of disease‐specific HRQoL and nasal breathing, effectively improving nasal symptoms and sleep disturbance in CRSwNP patients. Clinically meaningful difference in decrease of SNOT‐22 scores between the groups was not found at 12‐ and 24–month follow‐up.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disease with an incidence estimated between 1:2,000 and 1:40,000. Ciliated epithelia line the airways, nasal and sinus cavities, Eustachian tube and fallopian tubes.

DNAH11 and a Novel Genetic Variant Associated with Situs Inversus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, 2023
Background. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), also known as the immotile-cilia syndrome, is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous syndrome. Improper function of the cilia causes impaired mucociliary clearance.
