Purpose Of Review: Neurogenesis occurring in the olfactory epithelium is critical to continuously replace olfactory neurons to maintain olfactory function, but is impaired during chronic type 2 and non-type 2 inflammation of the upper airways. In this review, we describe the neurobiology of olfaction and the olfactory alterations in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (type 2 inflammation) and post-viral acute rhinosinusitis (non-type 2 inflammation), highlighting the role of immune response attenuating olfactory neurogenesis as a possibly mechanism for the loss of smell in these diseases.
Recent Findings: Several studies have provided relevant insights into the role of basal stem cells as direct participants in the progression of chronic inflammation identifying a functional switch away from a neuro-regenerative phenotype to one contributing to immune defense, a process that induces a deficient replacement of olfactory neurons. The interaction between olfactory stem cells and immune system might critically underlie ongoing loss of smell in type 2 and non-type 2 inflammatory upper airway diseases. In this review, we describe the neurobiology of olfaction and the olfactory alterations in type 2 and non-type 2 inflammatory upper airway diseases, highlighting the role of immune response attenuating olfactory neurogenesis, as a possibly mechanism for the lack of loss of smell recovery.

To explore the effect, postoperative mucosal pathological changes and molecular biological changes of reboot operation for type 2 inflammation chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSwNP) patients, and to provide theoretical basis for the clinical application of this kind of operation. We collected 29 patients who were diagnosed with CRSwNP with type 2 inflammatino response and underwent Reboot surgery from June 2022 to August 2023, and 27 patients who were diagnosed with deviated septum and underwent simple submucosal resection of the septum as the control group. We conducted nasal symptom scoring, endoscopic sinusitis scoring, and CT scanning of the sinuses before and after surgery, as well as HE staining, immunohistochemical staining, and detection of inflammatory factors using Elisa kits at the time of surgery, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.

The two closely related Oriental species of the genus , (Stål, 1867) and (Fabricius, 1787), exhibit remarkable morphological similarity, particularly in their overall red and black body coloration, including the head, thorax, and abdomen. Based on the examination of type specimens and non-type material collected from various localities of southern China, we found these two congeners were misidentified in many previous publications. Due to the restricted distribution and limited population size of in China, most taxonomic, biological, and biocontrol studies conducted under the name or should be instead attributed to To address this confusion regarding these two species, the present study clarifies the taxonomic status of the two controversial species- and .

: We aimed to investigate the incidence, treatment patterns, and associated risk factors of type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in the only tertiary-level Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Cyprus. : This retrospective study included all infants screened for ROP between January and December 2023. Data were collected from standardized NICU discharge summaries and included gestational age (GA), birth weight (BW), multiple birth, systemic infection, blood transfusion, oxygen therapy, surgical interventions, and ROP outcomes.

Objectives: While type 2 diabetes (T2D) disrupts bone metabolism, T2D individuals often exhibit normal or elevated bone mineral density (BMD), complicating the relationship between BMD and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to clarify the associations of BMD with CVD and mortality (CVM) in individuals with/without T2D.
Study Design: a retrospective cohort study.

(Hi) meningitis is a rare but serious bacterial infection in newborns and infants. While type b (Hib) has historically been the most prevalent strain, non-b serotypes remain uncommon and are not well characterized, underscoring the need for accurate identification and serotyping to improve clinical understanding and management. These non-b variants have been increasingly associated with severe neurological complications and poor outcomes, highlighting the importance of early recognition and targeted therapeutic intervention.
