Article Abstract

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has brought a huge socioeconomic burden. However, its mechanism is still elusive, which may involve genetic, environmental and some other factors. Epigenetic analyses have been conducted to explore the mechanisms underlying CRS. Here, we reviewed the fruits in the epigenetic studies on DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA regulation. We concluded that the epigenetic research on CRS has made great breakthroughs, especially in the past 5 years and the field of microRNAs. "Epigenetic therapies" are expected to be designed to treat CRS in the future.

Background: Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the middle ear; it is frequently associated with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. Although biologics have been used to treat EOM, their efficacy based on clinical characteristics remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of biologics and analyzed the clinical factors that influenced outcomes.

Background: Mycobacterium simiae is a slow-growing environmental nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), commonly isolated from soil and water. M. simiae is not known to transmit zoonotically or via human-to-human contact; infection is presumed to occur through direct environmental exposure.

In recent years, several biologics have been introduced into hospitals and clinics as alternatives to surgery and/or topical/oral cortisone therapy in patients with severe refractory chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps (CRSwNP). Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of CRSwNP in relation to the predominant type 2 endotype have also paved the way for understanding possible overlaps with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). In this article, we present the biologic treatment options currently approved in Germany for the treatment of severe CRSwNP - dupilumab, omalizumab and mepolizumab - together with guidance on practical management including side effects for the indication of CRSwNP.

Background: Meningitis following cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Current strategies for prevention, therapeutic options, and surgical timing lack consensus due to insufficient risk stratification tools. This study aimed to identify meningitis risk determinants and develop a predictive model to facilitate early detection in CSF leak patients.
