Disease relevance of Rhinitis, Atrophic

• Ciprofloxacin for rhinoscleroma and ozena [1].
• Pasteurella multocida Type D, a causative agent of atrophic rhinitis in swine and pasteurellosis in other domestic animals, produces an extracellular polysaccharide capsule that is a putative virulence factor [2].
• Cell envelope proteins and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Pasteurella multocida strains associated with atrophic rhinitis in swine were compared by using sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis [3].
• Virulence factors of Bordetella bronchiseptica associated with the production of infectious atrophic rhinitis and pneumonia in experimentally infected neonatal swine [4].
• METHODS: Two hundred eleven patients from the University of California, San Diego (San Diego, CA) Nasal Dysfunction Clinic with sinonasal disease (including allergic rhinitis, aging rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, and postnasal drip) and 20 disease-free control subjects were enrolled [5].

High impact information on Rhinitis, Atrophic

• It produces several purported virulence factors, including the dermonecrotic toxin (DNT), which has been implicated in the turbinate atrophy seen in cases of atrophic rhinitis [6].
• Two strains of B. bronchiseptica, isolated from herds of healthy pigs showing no signs of atrophic rhinitis, did not produce the 68,000-molecular-weight protein and were negative for adenylate cyclase [7].
• These data suggest that the mutant strains lacking dermonecrotic toxin-producing ability can be used as a live attenuated vaccine against swine atrophic rhinitis [8].
• Both patients suffered from a primary disease of the nasopharyngeal pathway; one had nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the other ozena [9].
• Growth hormone concentrations in plasma of healthy pigs and pigs with atrophic rhinitis [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Rhinitis, Atrophic

• The Pig Health Control Association launched a health scheme for atrophic rhinitis in 1978 [11].
• Yorkshire and Hampshire pigs had higher prevalences and severity of pneumonia and atrophic rhinitis, compared with pigs of other breeds [12].
• Evaluations in three field cases of infectious atrophic rhinitis indicated that carbadox in the feed was as effective as chlortetracycline + sulfamethazine + penicillin for improving growth rate and feed efficiency, as compared with nonmedicated controls, and in reducing the prevalence of lesions of infectious atrophic rhinitis [13].
• It is proposed that primary atrophic rhinitis belongs to a group of conditions under the heading 'Reflex Sympathetic Distrophy Syndrome'. This leads to decalcification of the turbinals, as in Sudeck's atrophy [14].
• The study suggests that beclomethasone dipropionate treatment for a period of a few years will not cause atrophic rhinitis [15].

Biological context of Rhinitis, Atrophic

• Genetic control of immune response to pseudorabies and atrophic rhinitis vaccines: I. Heterosis, general combining ability and relationship to growth and backfat [16].

Gene context of Rhinitis, Atrophic

• Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia presenting as atrophic rhinitis [17].
• Hogs with both anteroventral pneumonia and severe atrophic rhinitis had a 17.6% lower ADG than hogs with neither disease [18].
• There was significant interaction between the effects of atrophic rhinitis and anteroventral pneumonia on ADG (p less than 0.05) [18].
• Strains of B. bronchiseptica which did not induce "atrophic rhinitis" in pigs were found to be AC-less variants [19].
• Eight cases of atrophic rhinitis with DNS towards the opposite side were treated by septoplasty with reversal of the DNS [20].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Rhinitis, Atrophic

• Bordetella Bronchiseptica Dermonecrotoxin (BBD) as a major virulence factor of a causative agent of atrophic rhinitis (AR) was loaded to the chitosan microspheres for vaccination [21].
