Nasal polyps are usually a manifestation of the underlying disease process; therefore, complications are usually determined by the underlying problem. Patients with nasal polyps have obstructive nasal symptoms with impaired sleep and, to a lesser extent, chronic fatigue. Nasal polyps can obstruct the p...
may use a nasal endoscopy to view the inside of your nose. This is a narrow tube with a lighted magnifying lens or tiny camera that enables your doctor to perform a detailed examination inside your nose and sinuses. In some cases, you may need a CT scan to diagnose nasal polyps. ...
on CT scan even by an experienced observer. This is because theparanasal sinusCT is often acquired without intravenous (IV) contrast, and evaluated in bone and wide soft tissue windows; there may also be obscuration by streak artifacts caused by bone and sinus air. Therefore, for early CT ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of asthma on the cost-effectiveness profile of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) compared to medical therapy for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).doi:10.1002/alr.22013Scangas, George A....
After 30 minutes culture in medium alone, the spontaneous release of histamine and leukotrienes was significantly higher in nasal polyps compared to inferior turbinates (p < 0.01 and p = 0.03 respectively). However, the spontaneous release of PGD2was not different between the two groups (p = ...

In addition, due to inadequate clinical efficacy of spray pumps in patients with nasal polyps, a nasal drop formulation of fluticasone in single-dose pipettes was introduced in the EU for the treatment of nasal polyps. The rationale for this form of delivery is to improve drug deposition to ...
Purpose Endotype-driven treatment has been introduced in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), and an understanding of the associations between phenotypes and endotypes of CRSwNP will be beneficial in identifying responders. We aimed to determine the correlations between ...
