Posterior Nasal Nerve Ablation as a Viable Treatment Option for the Primary Symptom of Postnasal Drip
CONCLUSION: This exploratory study of PNN ablation for the primary symptom of PND demonstrates efficacy as assessed by the PND component of SNOT-22 and subjective improvement. These results can be useful in guiding physician-patient discussions in determining treatment options for medically refractory PND.PMID:38632938 | DOI:10.1177/19458924241247107 (Source: American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy)

A New Patient-reported Outcomes Measure for Surgically Treated Epiphora: Tearing Assessment and Rating Scale-12 (TEARS-12)
CONCLUSION: TEARS-12 is a statistically valid, easy-to-administer instrument to measure clinical outcomes in patients who undergo endoscopic DCR.PMID:38623636 | DOI:10.1177/19458924241241871 (Source: American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy)

The Role of Inhalant Allergens on the Clinical Manifestations of Atopic Dermatitis
CONCLUSION: There is a significant relationship between exposures to inhalant allergens and AD. Inhalant allergens may aggravate AD symptoms by either bronchial provocation or direct skin contact. Sensitization of inhalant allergens, mainly house dust mites, follows a specific age-related pattern.PMID:38623643 | DOI:10.1177/19458924241246855 (Source: American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy)

The Impact of Acute Peri-operative Particulate Matter Exposure on Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Outcomes: A Preliminary Multi-site Investigation
CONCLUSION: Preliminary data from this pilot study reveal that PM exposure at the time of ESS may negatively associate with post-operative improvement in sinonasal quality-of-life. Larger, population-based studies with more standardized PM exposure windows are needed to confirm the clinical significance of the present findings.PMID:38623645 | DOI:10.1177/19458924241246371 (Source: American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy)

Practice Patterns Among Fellowship-Trained Rhinologists: A Survey of Past American Rhinologic Society Fellows
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that finding an academic job may be more difficult for recent rhinology fellowship graduates, although still very possible for the majority of graduates. Understanding the reason for these changes may provide insight to current rhinology fellowship directors and trainees interested in pursuing fellowship training.PMID:38584418 | DOI:10.1177/19458924241244888 (Source: American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy)
