Disease relevance of Sinusitis

 

Psychiatry related information on Sinusitis

 

High impact information on Sinusitis

  • Secondary complications such as bronchitis and sinusitis occurred in 15% of placebo recipients compared with 7% of combined oseltamivir recipients (P = .03) [8].
  • The published literature weakly supports a positive association between GER and both sinusitis and laryngeal malignancy, and a negative association between GER and otitis media [4].
  • This study was conducted to review and evaluate the published evidence for an association between gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and 3 supraesophageal pathologies: sinusitis, otitis media, and laryngeal malignancy [4].
  • SETTING: The Johns Hopkins Hospital. RESULTS: Sinusitis was identified in 72 HIV-infected patients, predominantly individuals with a CD4 cell count of less than 200/mm3 [9].
  • In this study, a 5-day course (one dose per day) of azithromycin proved to have efficacy, safety, and tolerability that was equal to a 10-day course (three doses per day) of amoxicillin in the treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Sinusitis

  • A case of sinusitis due to Aspergillus flavus that developed in a patient with acute leukemia during the third week of treatment with amphotericin B is described [11].
  • Amoxicillin is appropriate therapy for patients with uncomplicated sinusitis in geographic areas in which the prevalence of beta-lactamase-producing pathogens is less than 20% [12].
  • Erythromycin (EM) and its 14-member macrolide analogues have attracted attention for its effectiveness in a variety of airway diseases, including diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB), sinobronchial syndrome, and chronic sinusitis [13].
  • The mean +/- SEM NO nasal concentration in children with sinusitis was 70 +/- 8.7 parts per billion (ppb) and increased significantly to 220 +/- 15 ppb (p < 0.001) after antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin/clavulanate) [14].
  • BACKGROUND: The need for antimicrobials in the treatment of subacute sinusitis was evaluated in 96 afebrile children who were prescribed antimicrobial (amoxicillin, amoxicillin clavulanate potassium, or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) or no antimicrobial medication in addition to a decongestant and saline nasal spray for 3 weeks [15].
 

Biological context of Sinusitis

 

Anatomical context of Sinusitis

 

Gene context of Sinusitis

  • Immunoreactive interleukin-1 (IL-1) alpha and beta levels in nasal polyp (NP) extracts were measured from 22 adult patients with chronic sinusitis (CS) in order to determine their significance in the pathogenesis of NP [25].
  • From this preliminary study, we conclude that nasal mucus is not a suitable substitute for sinus mucus in sinus mucin gene studies and that different pathological processes are taking place in nasal and sinus tissue in chronic sinusitis [26].
  • Mutations of the CFTR gene can lead either to cystic fibrosis or to idiopathic chronic pancreatitis, and to a variety of cystic fibrosis-associated disorders, including congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens and sinusitis [27].
  • Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) is a predominant cytokine in retained paranasal sinus fluid of chronic sinusitis where infiltration by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) of nasal and paranasal mucosa is characteristic [28].
  • Interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-5, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in chronic sinusitis: response to systemic corticosteroids [29].
