Filter by:The objectives of the study were to confirm that a single, 2.0-g dose of azithromycin sustained release (SR) was at least as effective to 10 days of oral levofloxacin 500 mg once a day, when used to treat adults with uncomplicated, acute bacterial sinus infections, and to evaluate the safety of both treatments.
The specific aim of this proposed project is to implement a standard process for integrating MedlinePlus health information prescriptions into the clinic workflow. Hypothesis 1: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more likely to seek information / use MedlinePlus compared with individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more satisfied with the information received compared with individuals in the control group.
The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of nasal sprays and nasal drops when used.
This randomized, double blind, parallel group study, compared the efficacy of spray containing aromatic essential oils of some herbal plants, against placebo in the treatment of patients with acute Rhino-sinusitis. Study objectives: Primary to demonstrate a relief in the nasal obstruction within 20 minutes after first administration of treatment with the spray. Secondary to demonstrate a reduction of a defined symptoms sum score based on symptoms and signs comparing baseline therapy from the beginning to the end of 3 days treatment
We propose to study the effects of Xolair on patients with chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps. Because of the similarities between the inflammatory processes found in asthmas and rhinitis to those found in chronic sinusitis, we hypothesize that sinusitis should respond to Xolair, just as asthma.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the concentration of itraconazole irrigation in nasal mucous specimens via collection and High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay. Eight (8) patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and two (2) healthy controls will be enrolled in the initial evaluation. After an initial control nasal specimen, followed by seven days of twice daily topical itraconazole irrigation, nasal specimens will be collected at varying time intervals and the concentrations measured. The primary endpoint is development of a reliable collection and assay technique with concentration curves over time of topically administered itraconazole. A secondary endpoint is to determine if the concentrations measured achieve a mean inhibitory concentration (MIC90) to commonly cultured fungal species in the nose.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cyclamen europaeum extract 10 % (v/v) compared to placebo in subjects with acute sinusitis
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the children with respiratory infection and the presence of pathogenic bacteria (S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae or M. catarrhalis) in the nasal middle meatus benefit from antimicrobial treatment.
This research project designed to diagnose sinusitis using a simple and low-cost optical tool. Healthy sinuses are typically filled with air, and show up as bright spots on the camera. Infected sinuses are filled with fluid and show up dark spots on the camera. Images of infected sinuses could be used to diagnose sinusitis, or to check if surgical treatments on the sinuses have been successful.
Objective: Even though postoperative debridement is commonly considered as an essential part of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), the scientific data on the efficacy or the optimal timing of debridement is limited. In the present study, the effect of repeated debridement during the first week after ESS on the endoscopic and subjective outcome was evaluated. Study Design: Open, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial with two parallel groups. Methods: A total of 90 patients suffering from either recurrent or chronic maxillary sinusitis were randomized into two groups after ESS. In the active group, the nasal cavities were debrided three times on the first postoperative week, while in the control group the patients were debrided only once on the 7th postoperative day. The primary outcome measure was the presence of scarring in the middle meatus at four weeks after ESS.
