Nasal polyp fluid was extracted from 52 patients to evaluate histamine levels and compare them with the corresponding serum levels. Large but variable amounts of histamine were found in polyp fluid (124-7600 ng/ml) which was between twenty and a thousand times the serum level. There was no
Beclomethasone dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid, which when applied by a pressurized metered dose aerosol in the airways has pronounced anti-allergic effects with no risk of systemic steroid side effects at the recommended dosage. An impressive effect in hay fever and perennial rhinitis has
Objective:To investigate the effect of Nasopore on nasal packing in functional endoscopic sinus surgery.Method:A total of 117 chronic rhinosiunsitis with or without nasal polyps patients undergone bilateral functional endoscopic sinus surgery and finished follow up visit were recruited. In
Children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are predisposed to pansinusitis and nasal polyposis and, therefore, require frequent surgery by otolaryngologists. These children are at risk to have complications following surgery, both locally, at the surgical site, as well as systemically from their underlying

Dexamethasone-isonicotinate aerosol (DIA) was administered to twenty-nine steroid-dependent children with chronic perennial asthma, in an open trial during one year. An attempt was made to withdraw systemic corticosteroid therapy. As judged by clinical results, inhaled dexamethasone-isonicotinate
A 48-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with cough, fever and dysphagia. He had a past history of bronchial asthma and surgery for nasal polyp. Chest radiograph and computed tomography showed atelectasis in the right lower field and infiltrative shadow in the left lower field and overall
Nasal biopsies are taken from normals and from patients suffering from perennial rhinitis, nasal polyps, hay fever or atrophic rhinitis. The biopsies from the inferior nasal turbinate are studied in a scanning electron microscope. In conclusion, allergic reactions have only a slight, direct
Recently our laboratory has shown that neutrophils contain enzymatic activity within their lysosomal granules which will generate chemotactic activity for neutrophils and tumor cells from the fifth component of complement (C5). We have now expanded this initial observation and have demonstrated that
OBJECTIVE
