ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in Chinese patients often exhibits a mixed Type 1/2/3 inflammatory phenotype (63%), potentially impacting the efficacy of biologics targeting Type 2 inflammation. This prespecified subgroup analysis of WAYPOINT (NCT04851964) evaluated the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in Chinese

ABSTRACT Introduction Traditional management of traumatic skull base dural injury has often favored observation and conservative therapy, despite the risk of delayed intracranial complications. This paradigm originated when operative intervention required craniotomy and carried significant morbidity.

ABSTRACT Background Biologic treatments were introduced for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in 2019. Treatment algorithms for medically refractory CRSwNP remain open, with patients choosing among surgery, biologics, or both. Real‐world utilization of surgery and biologics remains incompletely characterized.

Functional Specialization of Respiratory and Olfactory Mucus Revealed by Proteomic Profiling
ABSTRACT Background Mucus overlies the nasal mucosa in the respiratory and olfactory regions, which perform distinct physiological functions. However, proteomic differences between respiratory mucosa (RM) and olfactory cleft (OC) mucus remain unclear.

Psychometric Evaluation of the Importance of Olfaction Questionnaire Using Item Response Theory
Key Points The IOQ measures the value patients place on olfaction, a construct distinct from disease burden. The IOQ is most precise across the central trait range typical of routine ENT patients. Association items carry most measurement information, enabling a brief affective screen.
