Contrary to current thinking, a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) might not develop as a direct result of acidic digestive juices burning the esophagus, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found in an animal study. Rather, gastroesophageal reflux spurs the esophageal cells to release chemicals called cytokines, which attract inflammatory cells to the esophagus. (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

This article examines the modalities in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). A correct diagnosis is the first requirement in the successful management of CRS. CRS-directed therapy might fail if the actual cause of symptoms is nonsinogenic. Nasal endoscopy and sinus computed tomography are the primary modalities used in the diagnosis of sinusitis. Allergy and gastroesophageal reflux, may not directly cause sinusitis, but they frequently mimic the symptoms of sinusitis. Therapy can include avoidance of allergens and desensitization in the former and antireflux therapy in the latter. Underlying systemic causes of re...
