Saline nasal irrigation and gargling in COVID-19: Part II. Outcomes in Omicron and risk-benefit for self-care.

September 2025
Background: The World Health Organization recommends at-home management of mild COVID-19. While our preliminary evaluation provided evidence for saline nasal irrigation (SNI) and gargling in COVID-19, an update and risk-benefit assessment for self-care in Omicron infection is warranted, from treatment and preparedness perspectives, as new SARS-CoV-2 variants continuously emerge, while symptoms overlap with those of common colds and other upper respiratory tract infections.
Methods: Systematic literature searches for preclinical and clinical studies involving Omicron infection and saline, bias assessment, and review of outcomes (benefits, risks).
Purpose: The aim of this article was to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the role and reliability of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the diagnosis, management, and potential treatment of pediatric upper airway obstruction (UAO).
Methods: This PRISMA-based review searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for English-language studies on pediatric UAO (≤ 18 years) using AI/ML. Non-original works, unrelated topics, mixed-age studies, and those without AI/ML were excluded.
This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature on the oral side effects caused by radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. Various treatments are examined to mitigate these sequelae, and a protocol is proposed for dentists and dental hygienists to manage oncological patients. A literature search was conducted to select relevant articles addressing the effects of radiotherapy treatments on the oral cavity, with a particular focus on the development of mucositis, candidiasis, changes in salivary pH, trismus, fibrosis, and alterations in the oral biofilm.

- * A total of 449 adult patients who underwent surgery for CRSwNPs were categorized based on how many paranasal sinuses were affected by polyps, and statistical tools were used to find links between different factors and disease recurrence.
- * Findings indicate that patients with asthma or sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) had more sinuses involved, and higher blood eosinophil counts correlated with the severity of CRSwNP, suggesting these factors may contribute to worse outcomes.
Background: Tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy are surgical procedures routinely performed worldwide, with various complications, including postoperative bleeding (PTH). Among haemostatic agents, bismuth subgallate (BS) has been employed in the past decades, but its use is controversial in children.
Objective: This retrospective, multicentre study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of BS in preventing PTH following tonsillectomy and adenotonsillectomy.
