Rhinomanometry: point of care test (POCT) for allergic rhinitis in children?

2021

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem: its prevalence is 23% in Europe, although it is underestimated because as many as 45% of the cases remain undiagnosed. Globally, almost 500 million people suffer from AR, which shows its increasing incidences. The diagnostic course of AR is based on clinical history, supported by anterior rhinoscopy. This inspects the anterior part of the nasal cavity accompanied by allergic sensitivity tests (cutaneous allergic skin tests or specific immunoglobulin E levels). The availability of standardised diagnostic procedures is able to provide objective evaluations of inflammatory situation, and the degree of nasal obstruction may give an advantage in…

Nasal budesonide efficacy for nasal nitric oxide and nasal obstruction in rhinitis

2017

Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) is a noninvasive tool that may be helpful in evaluating the inflammatory status in the upper airways [1]. Previous studies report that nNO is elevated in children with Allergic Rhinitis (AR) [2], especially in perennial sensitized subjects [3], and that it may be affected by topical administration of intranasal steroids (INSs) [4].

Relationship between rhinitis duration and worsening of nasal function

2008

BackgroundWhile it is well known that asthma is characterized by airway remodeling, few studies instead have investigated this issue in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR).ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate nasal function, ie, nasal airflow, in a cohort of patients with persistent AR (PER).MethodsOne hundred patients, 50 with short-term and 50 with long-term PER, were prospectively and consecutively evaluated, clinically evaluated by visit, skin prick test, and rhinomanometry.ResultsNasal airflow values were significantly lower (median flow: 348 mL/sec) in patients with long-term rhinitis (median duration nine years) as compared to patients with short-term (median duration one y…

Long-Term Efficacy of Radiofrequency Treatment of Turbinate Hypertrophy: A Patient Based Point of View

2010

Nasal turbinate hypertrophy is a major cause of nasal airway obstruction that affects up to 20% of the European general population. This study aims to determine the efficacy of radiofrequency treatment as perceived by patients during a 2-years period. From 2007 to 2009, an observational study was conducted on 36 patients who consecutively underwent temperature-controlled radiofrequency tissue volume reduction. A questionnaire was administered to each patient in order to collect demographic data, lifestyle habits, health status and visual analogue scale (VAS) score of perceived symptoms. Mean VAS scores of nasal obstruction, headache, rhinorrhoea and anosmia after treatment were significantl…
