Respiratory Bacterial Culture Sampling in Expectorating and Non-expectorating Patients With Cystic Fibrosis

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Purpose: Different respiratory sampling methods exist to identify lower airway pathogens in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), of which bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and expectorated sputum are considered the “gold standard.” Because BAL cannot be ...

Ultrasonic Image Characteristics of Palatine Tonsils in Healthy Children and Analysis of Factors Influencing Image Quality

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 436-444, March/April 2025.
The ultrasound detection rate of the palatine tonsils in children was good. There are characteristic ultrasonic image manifestations. Tonsil ultrasound image quality is affected by individual and local factors. ABSTRACT Objective To explore the ultrasonic image characteristics of palatine tonsils in healthy children and the factors affecting image ...

Isolated anal tuberculosis presenting as an anal fistula in an immunocompetent child

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Extra‐pulmonary tuberculosis accounts for less than 15% of all tuberculosis cases, while intestinal tuberculosis accounts for less than 1% of extra‐pulmonary forms of the disease. Abdominal organ involvement is more common, but extension to the ano‐perineal region is extremely rare.

Factors Affecting Nasal Discharge in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Patients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study aimed to identify patient‐specific factors influencing the severity of nasal drainage in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. It found that postnasal discharge (PND) was the most severe symptom, with female gender, CRS without nasal polyps, prior endoscopic sinus surgery, and allergies significantly associated with severe PND.

Feasibility of Treating Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis Using Short‐Chain Fatty Acids

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Epithelial cell‐derived cytokines including thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) are important in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. We demonstrate the inhibitory effect of TSLP production in airway epithelial cells and eosinophil survival by short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as a potential new strategy to reduce nasal polyps ...

Management of Subglottic Stenosis With the “Maddern Procedure”: Long Term Follow‐Up Outcomes

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The Maddern procedure is an effective and durable option for patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis. Five‐year recurrence‐free rate is 83%, and the mMRC dyspnea scale improves from 2.7 (SD 0.73) to 0.52 (SD 0.85). ABSTRACT Objective Full‐thickness resection and skin grafting of the laryngotracheal junction, the “Maddern Procedure,” can be used to
