Abstract
BACKGROUND Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) are the two major antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). OBJECTIVES To characterize a homogenous AAV cohort and to assess the impact of clinicopathological profiles and ANCA serotypes on clinical presentation and prognosis. Clinical differences in GPA patients according to ANCA serotype and the diagnostic yield for vasculitis of biopsies in different territories were also investigated. RESULTS This retrospective study (2000-2021) included 152 patients with AAV (77 MPA/75 GPA). MPA patients (96.1% myeloperoxidase [MPO]-ANCA and 2.6% proteinase 3 [PR3]-ANCA) presented more often with weight loss, myalgia, renal involvement, interstitial lung disease (ILD), cutaneous purpura, and peripheral nerve involvement. Patients with GPA (44% PR3-ANCA, 33.3% MPO, and 22.7% negative/atypical ANCA) presented more commonly with ear, nose, and throat and eye/orbital manifestations, more relapses, and higher survival than patients with MPA. GPA was the only independent risk factor for relapse. Poor survival predictors were older age at diagnosis and peripheral nerve involvement. ANCA serotypes differentiated clinical features in a lesser degree than clinical phenotypes. A mean of 1.5 biopsies were performed in 93.4% of patients in different territories. Overall, vasculitis was identified in 80.3% (97.3% in MPA and 61.8% in GPA) of patients. CONCLUSIONS The identification of GPA presentations associated with MPO-ANCA and awareness of risk factors for relapse and mortality are important to guide proper therapeutic strategies in AAV patients. Biopsies of different affected territories should be pursued in difficult-to-diagnose patients based on their significant diagnostic yield.

Abstract
Following the European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway Diseases (EUFOREA) treatment algorithm for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), patients suffering from severe uncontrolled CRSwNP are recommended to receive oral corticosteroids, (revision) sinus surgery, systemic biologicals and/or aspirin treatment after desensitization (ATAD). Given the major differences in indications, outcomes, practical considerations, risks and costs of these key pillars of treatment, there is a growing need to define criteria for each treatment option and list the clinically relevant and major considerations for them. This EUFOREA document therefore provides an expert panel overview of the expected outcomes, specific considerations and (contra)indications of the five major treatment arms of severe uncontrolled CRSwNP: oral corticosteroids, primary and revision sinus surgery, biological treatment and ATAD. This overview of treatment considerations is needed to allow physicians and patients to consider the different options in the context of providing optimal and personalized care for severe uncontrolled CRSwNP. In conclusion, the five major treatment options for severe uncontrolled CRSwNP have intrinsic advantages, specific indications and considerations that are of importance to the patient, the physician and the society. This EUFOREA statement supports the unmet need to define criteria for the indication of every treatment pillar of CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical closure of large nasoseptal perforation (NSP) is challenging. The use of an extended anterior ethmoidal artery (eAEA) flap to reconstruct NSP may present with difficulties for NSPs which have their upper edge in a high position. METHOD We propose adding a "donut-shape" flap from surrounding septal tissue to the eAEA flap. Thus, the inverted edges of this flap allow to cover the uppermost aspect of the NSP. A series of 18 patients with complete closure of NSPs was included. CONCLUSION This novel "Boot-on-Donut" technique consisting of the eAEA flap (Boot) and inverted edges (Donut) is a feasible procedure that allows to reconstruct large NSP located superiorly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Transorbital neuroendoscopic surgery (TONES) is continuously evolving and gaining terrain in approaching different skull base pathologies. The objective of this study was to present our methodology for introducing recording electrodes, which includes a new transconjunctival pathway, to monitor the extraocular muscle function during TONES. METHODS A translational observational study was performed from an anatomic demonstration focused on the transconjunctival electrode placement technique to a descriptive analysis in our series of 6 patients operated using TONES in association with intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring of the oculomotor nerves from 2017 to 2023. The stepwise anatomic demonstration for the electrode placement and correct positioning in the target muscle was realized through cadaveric dissection. The descriptive analysis evaluated viability (obtention of the electromyography in each cranial nerve [CN] monitored), security (complications), and compatibility (interference with TONES). RESULTS In our series of 6 patients, 16 CNs were correctly monitored: 6 (100%) CNs III, 5 (83.3%) CNs VI, and 5 (83.3%) CNs IV. Spontaneous electromyography was registered correctly, and compound muscle action potential using triggered electromyography was obtained for anatomic confirmation of structures (1 CN III and VI). No complications nor interference with the surgical procedure were detected. CONCLUSION The methodology for introducing the recording electrodes was viable, secure, and compatible with TONES.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The endoscopic superior eyelid transorbital approach has garnered significant consideration and gained popularity in recent years. Detailed anatomical knowledge along with clinical experience has allowed refinement of the technique as well as expansion of its indications. Using bone as a consistent reference, the authors identified five main bone pillars that offer access to the different intracranial targeted areas for different pathologies of the skull base, with the aim of enhancing the understanding of the intracranial areas accessible through this corridor. METHODS The authors present a bone-oriented review of the anatomy of the transorbital approach in which they conducted a 3D analysis using Brainlab software and performed dry skull and subsequent cadaveric dissections. RESULTS Five bone pillars of the transorbital approach were identified: the lesser sphenoid wing, the sagittal crest (medial aspect of the greater sphenoid wing), the anterior clinoid, the middle cranial fossa, and the petrous apex. The associations of these bone targets with their respective intracranial areas are reported in detail. CONCLUSIONS Identification of consistent bone references after the skin incision has been made and the working space is determined allows a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the approach in order to safely and effectively perform transorbital endoscopic surgery in the skull base.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Neurogenesis occurring in the olfactory epithelium is critical to continuously replace olfactory neurons to maintain olfactory function, but is impaired during chronic type 2 and non-type 2 inflammation of the upper airways. In this review, we describe the neurobiology of olfaction and the olfactory alterations in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (type 2 inflammation) and post-viral acute rhinosinusitis (non-type 2 inflammation), highlighting the role of immune response attenuating olfactory neurogenesis as a possibly mechanism for the loss of smell in these diseases. RECENT FINDINGS Several studies have provided relevant insights into the role of basal stem cells as direct participants in the progression of chronic inflammation identifying a functional switch away from a neuro-regenerative phenotype to one contributing to immune defense, a process that induces a deficient replacement of olfactory neurons. The interaction between olfactory stem cells and immune system might critically underlie ongoing loss of smell in type 2 and non-type 2 inflammatory upper airway diseases. In this review, we describe the neurobiology of olfaction and the olfactory alterations in type 2 and non-type 2 inflammatory upper airway diseases, highlighting the role of immune response attenuating olfactory neurogenesis, as a possibly mechanism for the lack of loss of smell recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Undifferentiated autoinflammatory diseases are characterized by recurrent or persistent fever, usually combined with other inflammatory manifestations, and negative or inconclusive genetic studies for monogenic autoinflammatory disorders. AIMS To define and characterize disease phenotypes in adult patients diagnosed in an adult reference center with undifferentiated autoinflammatory diseases, and to analyze the efficacy of the drugs used in order to provide practical diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations. METHODS Retrospective study (2015-2022) of patients with undifferentiated autoinflammatory diseases among all patients visited in our reference center. Demographic, clinical, laboratory features and detailed therapeutic information was collected. RESULTS Of the 334 patients with a suspected autoinflammatory disease, 134 (40%) patients (61% women) were initially diagnosed with undifferentiated autoinflammatory diseases. Mean age at disease onset and at diagnosis was 28.7 and 37.7 years, respectively. In 90 (67.2%) patients, symptoms started during adulthood. Forty-four (32.8%) patients met diagnostic/classification criteria for adult PFAPA syndrome. In the remaining patients, four additional phenotypes were differentiated according to the predominant manifestations: a) Predominantly fever phenotype (n = 18; 13.4%); b) Predominantly abdominal/pleuritic pain phenotype (n = 9; 6.7%); c) Predominantly pericarditis phenotype (n = 18; 13.4%), and d) Complex syndrome phenotype (n = 45; 33.6%). Prednisone (mainly on demand), colchicine and anakinra were the drugs commonly used. Overall, complete responses were achieved with prednisone in 41.3%, colchicine in 40.2%, and anakinra in 58.3% of patients in whom they were used. By phenotypes, prednisone on demand was more effective in adult PFAPA syndrome and colchicine in patients with the abdominal/pleuritic pain pattern and PFAPA syndrome. Patients with complex syndrome achieved complete responses with prednisone (21.9%), colchicine (25.7%) and anakinra (44.4%), and were the group more often requiring additional immunosuppressive drugs. CONCLUSIONS The analysis of the largest single-center series of adult patients with undifferentiated autoinflammatory diseases identified and characterized different disease phenotypes and their therapeutic approaches. This study is expected to contribute to increase the awareness of physicians for an early identification of these conditions, and to provide the best known therapeutic options.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Endoscopic sinus surgery is not a definitive treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The use of sinus stents after surgery to maintain sinus patency and deliver local steroids has gained popularity. The first steroid-eluting bioabsorbable implant (SEBI) approved for this indication, later Propel, was developed in 2011. This state-of-the-art review aims to summarize the available evidence, as well as to point out potential pitfalls and lack of specific analyses to guide future research on this new therapeutic option. DATA SOURCES Pubmed (Medline), the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, SciELO. REVIEW METHODS Nine research questions were defined: Are steroid-eluting Sinus implants useful for the control of CRS symptoms after surgery? Do they improve surgical field healing after CRS surgery? Do they decrease polyp regrowth after ESS? Do they decrease the need for ESS? Are they useful in symptom control as in-office procedure? Are they better than other steroid-impregnated resorbable materials? Do they have a positive impact on olfaction? Are they safe? Are they cost-effective? Retrieved articles were reviewed by two authors. RESULTS Twenty nine studies were included: 3 metanalysis, 1 systematic review, 10 randomized clinical trials, 4 quasi-experimental studies, 1 retrospective cohort study, 4 cost studies, 3 case series and 2 expert consensus. The review encompassed a population of 3,012 patients treated with SEBI and 2826 controls. CONCLUSIONS This is the first state-of-the-art review assessing steroid eluting bioabsorbable stent evidence. Despite the effort in recent years, still several questions remain unanswered. This review will hopefully guide future research efforts to better define the role of SEBI in the otolaryngology practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Septal perforation (SP) cause heterogeneous symptoms depending on the anatomical location, highlighting scabs, nasal obstruction and/or epistaxis. The use of questionnaires to determine the quality of life in different pathologies is increasing in sinonasal pathologies and in patients with SP the NOSE-Perf questionnaire was constructed, currently validated in English. The aim of this study is the translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the NOSE-Perf questionnaire into Spanish. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective single-centre study of 81 patients (38 with SP and 43 controls), visited in the rhinology section of a tertiary hospital. Adaptation and translation NOSE-Perf into Spanish and validation using the NOSE and NOSE-Perf questionnaire in Spanish. RESULTS Significant differences were found in the mean NOSE-Perf score and in the mean NOSE score (IC95% = 21.2-26.9; p < 0.001 and IC95% = 53.8-70.5; p < 0.001) between SP group and control group. Pearson's correlation between the two questionnaires NOSE-Perf and NOSE in the SP group was 0.74 (95% CI = 0.56-0.86; p < 0.001). In the control group it was r = 0.85 (95%CI = 0.73-0.91; p < 0.001). Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the NOSE-Perf was 0.95 (IC 95% = 0.93-0.96) for internal consistency. The reliability evaluation was carried out by test-retest, and a strong Pearson correlation was obtained between the questionnaires r = 0.94 (CI95% = 0.85-0.97; p < 0.001) and r = 0.89 (95%CI = 0.77-0.95; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The Spanish version of the NOSE-Perf is as reliable and valid as the English version, which makes it possible to assess the impact on quality of life that it causes in patients with perforations in the Spanish-speaking population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The endoscopic superior eyelid approach is a relatively novel mini-invasive technique that is currently investigating for skull base cancers. However, questions remain regarding specific approach-related complications when treating different skull base tumors. This study aims to analyze any surgical complications that occurred in our preliminary consecutive experience, with specific focus on orbital outcome. METHODS A retrospective and consecutive cohort of patients treated via a superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach at the Division of Neurosurgery of the Hospital Clinic in Barcelona was analyzed. Patients features were described in detail. Complications were divided into 2 groups to analyze separately the approach-related complications, and those resulting from tumor removal. The ocular complications were subdivided into early ocular status (<3 weeks), late ocular status (3-8 weeks), and persistent ocular complications. The "Park questionnaire" was used to determine patient's satisfaction related to the transorbital approach. RESULTS A total of 20 patients (5 spheno-orbital meningiomas, 1 intradiploic Meningioma, 2 intraconal lesions, 1 temporal pole lesion, 2 trigeminal schwannoma, 3 cavernous sinus lesions, and 6 petroclival lesions) were included in the period 2017-2022. Regarding early ocular status, upper eyelid edema was detected in all cases (100%) associated with diplopia in the lateral gaze in 30% of cases, and periorbital edema in 15% of cases. These aspects tend to resolve at late ocular follow-up (3-8 weeks) in most cases. Regarding persistent ocular complications, in one case of intraconal lesion, a limitation of eye abduction was detected (5%). In another patient with intraconal lesion, an ocular neuropathic pain was reported (5%). In 2 cases of petroclival menigioma, who were also treated with a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt, slight enophthalmus was observed as a persistent complication (10%). According to the Park questionnaire, no cosmetic complaints, no head pain, no palpable cranial irregularities, and no limited mouth opening were reported, and an average of 89% of general satisfaction was encountered. CONCLUSIONS The superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital approach is a safe and satisfactory technique for a diversity of skull base tumors. At late follow-up, upper eyelid edema, diplopia, and periorbital edema tend to resolve. Persistent ocular complications are more frequent after treating intraconal lesions. Enophthalmus may occur in patients with associated ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. According to patient's satisfaction, fairly acceptable results are attained.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is common and carries significant personal and societal burden. Accurate assessment is necessary for good clinical and research practice but is highly dependent on the assessment technique used. Current practice with regards to UK/international clinical assessment is unknown. We aimed to capture current clinical practice, with reference to contemporaneously available guidelines. We further aimed to compare UK to international practice. DESIGN Anonymous online questionnaire with cross-sectional non-probability sampling. Subgroup analysis according to subspeciality training in rhinology ('rhinologists' and 'non-rhinologists') was performed, with geographical comparisons only made according to subgroup. PARTICIPANTS ENT surgeons who assess olfaction. RESULTS Responses were received from 465 clinicians (217 from UK and 17 countries total). Country-specific response rate varied, with the lowest rate being obtained from Japan (1.4%) and highest from Greece (72.5%). Most UK clinicians do not perform psychophysical smell testing during any of the presented clinical scenarios-though rhinologists did so more often than non-rhinologists. The most frequent barriers to testing related to service provision (e.g., time/funding limitations). Whilst there was variability in practice, in general, international respondents performed psychophysical testing more frequently than those from the UK. Approximately 3/4 of all respondents said they would like to receive training in psychophysical smell testing. Patient reported outcome measures were infrequently used in the UK/internationally. More UK respondents performed diagnostic MRI scanning than international respondents. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the most comprehensive UK-based, and only international survey of clinical practice in the assessment of OD. We present recommendations to improve practice, including increased education and funding for psychophysical smell testing. We hope this will promote accurate and reliable olfactory assessment, as is the accepted standard in other sensory systems.

Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small, single-stranded, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression. Accumulating evidence suggests their involvement in regulating various biological and pathological processes, including inflammation. Studies have revealed distinct expression patterns of miRNAs in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with (CRSwNP) and without (CRSsNP) nasal polyps (1). Specifically, miR-155 and miR-21 have been observed to be upregulated in CRSwNP, increasing and attenuating the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, respectively (2,3). Conversely, the downregulation of miR-34, miR-449, and members of the miR-200 family has been associated with impaired ciliogenesis and the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, respectively (4,5). Nonetheless, the direct role of miRNAs in CRSwNP is still being investigated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this prospective non-randomized study we reported our experience related to planum sphenoidale (PS) and tuberculum sellae (TS) meningiomas in a similar cohort of patients operated via the endonasal or the supraorbital route. A comprehensive quality of life analysis has been performed. METHODS Being comparable in general features, between November 2017 to January 2020, a total of 20 patients with anterior skull base meningioma were included. Hence, 10 patients were treated using the supraorbital keyhole procedure (SO) while 10 patients received an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). Both surgical techniques were analyzed and compared. Quality of life has been analyzed with the SF-36 questionnaire. RESULTS Twenty patients were identified who underwent either EEA (n=10) or SO (n=10). The average extent of resection achieved was not significantly different between the 2 groups. Post-operatively, the EEA group demonstrated a longer hospital stay and bed days compared with SO patients as well as a longer surgical time. There was a significant rate of more CSF leakage after EEA then after SO (20% vs 0%, p=0,0491). The follow-up period resulted shorter in the SO group, with a slight increased recurrence rate. Overall, no differences in visual outcome were detected. There were no differences in terms of quality of life between the two groups in all the explored items. CONCLUSIONS In this single-center single-surgeon study of similarly sized and located PS and TS meningiomas, EEA showed longer hospital stays with higher degree of CSF leak compared with the SO group. Supraorbital craniotomy via eyebrow incision reported a comparable quality of life results, even if with a slightly higher percentage of recurrence and less follow-up.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Olfactory impairment is one of the cardinal symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), yet the effect of the currently available therapeutic options on the recovery of the sense of smell is not well defined. The aim of this systematic review was to compile the evidence on the impact of medical, surgical, and biological therapies on the olfactory outcomes in patients with CRSwNP. METHODS This review was conducted by two reviewers, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The quality of evidence of all studies included in the qualitative synthesis was evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP). RESULTS Forty-four studies were included in the qualitative synthesis (assessing sinonasal surgery [n = 23], biologics [n =15], and conventional medical treatment [n = 6]); most had moderate-to-high methodological quality. Overall, significant improvements in the sense of smell were detected with all analyzed interventions measured by either an objective or a subjective tool (or both). However, most studies used different outcome measurements, hindering comparisons between interventions, and data on clinically relevant changes were missing. CONCLUSION Oral corticosteroids, biologics and sinonasal surgery improve olfactory impairment associated with CRSwNP, but the high variability among existing studies does not allow accurate comparisons.

Abstract
Despite the fact that turbinate surgery provides satisfactory results regarding nasal obstruction, most of these procedures are destructive, to some extent, for the respiratory epithelium. There are valid hypotheses suggesting either that turbinate surgery may improve mucociliary clearance (MCC) by improving rhinitis, as well hypotheses suggesting that these surgeries may impair it by damaging the nasal ciliated epithelia. This systematic review is designed with the objective of exploring the effect of turbinate surgery on MCC. Pubmed (Medline), the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, SciELO were analyzed. Four authors members of the YO-IFOS rhinology study group independently analyzed the articles. Extracted variables encompassed: sample size, age, indication for surgery, surgical technique, method used to measure mucociliary clearance, mucociliary transport time before and after surgery, and main outcome. 15 studies with a total population of 1936 participants (1618 patients excluding healthy controls) met the inclusion criteria. 9 studies could be combined in a metanalysis, wich revealed a non-statistically significant decrease of 3.86 min in MCTT after turbinate surgery (p = 0.06). The subgroup analysis of the 5 cohorts who underwent microdebrider turbinoplasty reached statistical significance under a random effect model, revealing a 7.02 min decrease in MCTT (p < 0.001). The laser turbinoplasty subgroup, composed of 4 cohorts, also reached significance, although the difference was lower than that for microdebrider turbinoplasty, 1.01 min (p < 0.001). This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that turbinate surgery does not compromise mucociliary clearance. The available evidence also suggests that turbinate surgery with mucosa sparing techniques improves MCC, while with aggressive techniques it increases or remains the same. This beneficial effect is evident since the first to third month after surgery. However, for solid conclusions, a standard way to measure MCTT should be stablished, as well as a method to appropriately describe the extension of the surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the self-reported practices on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) by ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists in Spain to identify potential areas for management optimization. METHODS A cross-sectional online survey with 16 questions was carried out. Recruitment was performed by emailing registered ENT specialists in the Spanish Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (SEORL-CCC). RESULTS In total, 127 ENT specialists completed the survey. Fifty-one percent of respondents combined clinical criteria and objective evidence of mucosal inflammation to diagnose CRSwNP. Patient interview and, to a lower degree, a visual analogue scale were the most employed diagnostic tools to quantify symptom severity. Less than half (45%) routinely used the 22-item sino-nasal outcomes test (SNOT-22) to assess the impact of CRSwNP disease in quality of life. The use of patient-reported outcomes and other clinical evaluation tools showed a larger uptake among ENT specialists that worked at an ENT department with an available rhinology unit. Almost all the specialists surveyed (95%) recommended biological treatment, particularly in patients with uncontrolled CRSwNP with respiratory comorbidities (76%), as well as in candidates for revision surgery (66%). CONCLUSION Spanish otorhinolaryngologists showed a trend toward incorporating CRSwNP guideline recommendations in their clinical practice. The observed low uptake of patient-reported outcomes and objective clinical evaluation tools in routine clinical practise have been identified as areas for optimizing the management of patients with CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) disease control is a global metric of disease status for CRS. While there is broad acceptance that it is an important treatment goal, there has been inconsistency in the criteria used to define CRS control. The objective of this study was to identify and develop consensus around essential criteria for assessment of CRS disease control. METHODS Modified Delphi methodology consisting of three rounds to review a list of 24 possible CRS control criteria developed by a 12-person steering committee. The core authorship of the multidisciplinary EPOS 2020 guidelines was invited to participate. RESULTS Thirty-two individuals accepted the invitation to participate and there was no dropout of participants throughout the entire study (3 rounds). Consensus essential criteria for assessment of CRS control were: overall symptom severity, need for CRS-related systemic corticosteroids in the prior 6 months, severity of nasal obstruction, and patient-reported CRS control. Near-consensus items were: nasal endoscopy findings, severity of smell loss, overall quality of life, impairment of normal activities and severity of nasal discharge. Participants’ comments provided insights into caveats of, and disagreements related to, near-consensus items. CONCLUSIONS Overall symptom severity, use of CRS-related systemic corticosteroids, severity of nasal obstruction, and patient-reported CRS control are widely agreed upon essential criteria for assessment of CRS disease control. Consideration of near-consensus items to assess CRS control should be implemented with their intrinsic caveats in mind. These identified consensus CRS control criteria, together with evidence-based support, will provide a foundation upon which CRS control criteria with wide-spread acceptance can be developed.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the effects of endoscopic sinus surgery and endonasal approaches to the skull base on olfaction. RECENT FINDINGS Advancements in endonasal endoscopic approaches to the sinuses and skull base allow for direct treatment of a variety of sinonasal and skull base diseases. However, these extended approaches will often require manipulation of normal anatomical structures and the olfactory neuroepithelium. Depending on the planned procedure and extent of disease, the prognosis of olfactory perception can vary significantly among patients. Endoscopic sinonasal surgical procedures may impact olfaction. Optimizing olfactory function requires proper surgical techniques, gentle handling of tissue, and perioperative care. Surgeons must discuss objectives and manage patient expectations. Routine olfactory assessment is crucial in surgical work-up and follow-up. Preserving anatomical structures while addressing the obstruction of the olfactory cleft helps to prevent decreased olfactory threshold. However, smell identification and discrimination do not always correlate with sinonasal anatomy.

Abstract
Background Patients with asthma (AS), atopic dermatitis (AD), allergic rhinitis (AR), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), chronic urticaria (CU), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD), and certain phenotypes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), among others, have a common underlying pathogenesis known as Type 2 inflammation (T2i). These diseases often coexist with other T2i conditions and have a substantial impact on the quality of life (QoL) of patients. However, limited data on patients' experiences, perspectives, and current management of T2i diseases have been published thus far. Aims This survey, promoted by the patient-driven T2i Network Project, aimed at identifying the common drivers and challenges related to the QoL of patients with T2i diseases by putting the patient's perspective at the force and including it in the design of new care strategies. Methodology An anonymous online survey was carried out through convenience sampling between May and June 2023. The survey was codesigned by members of different patient associations, healthcare professionals and healthcare quality experts, and implemented using EUSurvey and distributed through eight patient associations from Spain. The survey consisted of 29 questions related to the participant's sociodemographic features, a series of self-reported multiple choice or rating scale questions, including diagnosis, QoL measures, disease severity, healthcare resource utilization, and quality of care. Results The survey included 404 participants, members from eight patient associations, the majority of whom had moderate-to-severe self-reported disease severity (93%) and one or more coexisting pathologies related to T2i (59%). Patients with more than one pathology had a significantly greater impact on QoL than those with only one pathology (p < .001). Participants with self-reported severe symptoms reported significantly worse QoL than those with mild-to-moderate severity (p < .001). More than half of the patients (56%) felt constantly bothered by the unpredictability of their illness caused by potential exposure to known or unknown disease triggers. The lack of coordination between specialists and primary care was also expressed as an area of dissatisfaction by participants, with 52% indicating a complete lack of coordination and 21% indicating an average coordination. Conclusion This article reports the initial findings of a patient-led initiative, which highlights the common QoL challenges faced by individuals with type 2 inflammation-related diseases and emphasizes the importance of further clinical research to improve the management of this patient group. Considering the significant impact on QoL, a multidisciplinary approach integrated into new healthcare protocols has the potential to improve patient management and QoL, shorten the time to diagnosis and reduce healthcare resource utilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic corticosteroids (SCSs) are associated with short- and long-term adverse effects. OBJECTIVE To assess mepolizumab efficacy according to prior SCS use and characterize mepolizumab's SCS-sparing capabilities, in patients with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. METHODS In the randomized, double-blind, phase III SYNAPSE trial (NCT03085797), adults with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps eligible for repeat sinus surgery despite standard of care treatment received mepolizumab (100 mg subcutaneously) or placebo every 4 weeks for 52 weeks. The impact of prior SCS courses (0/1/>1) on mepolizumab versus placebo treatment responses (changes from baseline in total endoscopic nasal polyp [week 52], nasal obstruction visual analog scale [weeks 49-52], and 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test total [week 52] scores) was analyzed post hoc. To characterize mepolizumab's SCS-sparing capabilities, time-to-first SCS course for nasal polyps (prespecified) and total prednisolone-equivalent oral corticosteroid dose by patient baseline characteristics (post hoc, in patients with ≥1 SCS course during SYNAPSE) were assessed up to week 52. RESULTS Mepolizumab versus placebo improved treatment responses, irrespective of prior SCS use. By week 52, the probability of requiring SCSs for nasal polyps (Kaplan-Meier estimate [95% CI]) was lower with mepolizumab (25.4% [20.0-32.1]) versus placebo (37.5% [31.1-44.6]). In patients requiring 1 or more dose of SCSs, total (mean ± SD mg/y) prednisolone-equivalent oral corticosteroid dose was lower with mepolizumab (438.9 ± 350.40) versus placebo (505.2 ± 455.091), overall and irrespective of prior sinus surgeries, blood eosinophil count, or comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS Mepolizumab is associated with clinical benefits in patients with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps regardless of prior SCS use and has an SCS-sparing effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to certain agents in the workplace can trigger occupational asthma or work-exacerbated asthma, both of which come under the heading of work-related asthma (WRA). Understanding the burden that WRA represents can help in the management of these patients. OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of occupation on asthma in real life and analyze the characteristics of patients with WRA included in an asthma cohort. METHODS This was a prospective multicenter study of a cohort of consecutive patients with asthma. A standardized clinical history was completed. Patients were classified as having WRA or non-WRA. All patients underwent respiratory function tests, FeNO test, and methacholine challenge (methacholine concentration that causes a 20% drop in FEV1) at the beginning of the study. They were classified into two groups, depending on their employment status: employed (group 1) or unemployed (group 2). RESULTS Of the 480 patients included in the cohort, 82 (17%) received the diagnosis of WRA. Fifty-seven patients (70%) were still working. Mean age (SD) was 46 (10.69) years in group 1 and 57 (9.91) years in group 2 (P < .0001). Significant differences were observed in adherence to treatment (64.9% in group 1 vs 88% in group 2; P = .0354) and in severe asthma exacerbations (35.7% in group 1 vs 0% in group 2; P = .0172). No significant differences were observed in the rest of the variables analyzed. CONCLUSIONS The burden of WRA in specialized asthma units is not negligible. The absence of differences in the severity of asthma, the treatment administered, alterations in lung function, and the number of exacerbations in those working versus not working may support the idea that advice regarding changing jobs should be customized for individual patients.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a highly prevalent and burdensome disease for both individuals and health systems. Its management involves many specialties, including otorhinolaryngology, allergology, pulmonology, primary care, pharmacy, and pediatrics. A multidisciplinary approach and the participation of the patient in decision-making are essential, both for diagnosis and for therapy. The authors of the consensus aim to translate current knowledge into an easy-to-read practical guide and emphasize those aspects requiring further discussion or with unmet needs owing to the lack of appropriate scientific evidence. An iterative approach for the development of an evidence-based systematic review with recommendations was followed using a standard quality assessment approach (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network [SIGN] and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [NICE]). The guideline was critically evaluated using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) and Recommendation Excellence (AGREE REX) instruments. Consequently, POLINA has been considered a high-quality guideline by an independent agency. The POLINA consensus provides new definitions of control, therapeutic management (including surgery and evaluation of severity), indications for use of biologics, and response. Finally, this guideline focuses on unmet research needs in CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with septal deviation and/or turbinal hypertrophy may experience olfactory disfunction (OD). The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of septoplasty and/or turbinoplasty on both lateralized and bilateral olfactory function. METHODOLOGY Prospective study of 47 patients with nasal obstruction secondary to septal deviation and/or turbinal hypertrophy and 20 healthy controls. The Barcelona Olfactory test (BOT-8), a new supraliminal orthonasal subjective olfactometry, was applied 3 times in a row (in each nostril separately and in both simultaneously). The 8 items were applied randomly to minimize the possible risk of learning. The test has not established the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). Anterior rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry were performed. All participants self-assessed smell loss and nasal obstruction using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and completed questionnaires for nasal obstruction (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation, NOSE) and for quality of life (QoL), using disease-specific (SinoNasal Outcome Test-22, SNOT-22) and generic (Short Form-12 Health Survey, SF-12) questionnaires. Nasal measurements and questionnaires were performed preoperatively and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS Before surgery, patients reported worse VAS on smell loss and on nasal obstruction compared to controls. Patients scored lower BOT-8 than controls. Lateralized preoperative olfactory function showed that all BOT-8 characteristics were lower at the narrow side than the wider one. Smell function and QoL improved significantly one year after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Nasal septal deviation and turbinal hypertrophy lead to an olfactory impairment on the obstructed nostril. Nasal surgery provides a positive outcome on olfactory function, as well as on subjective and objective outcomes.

Abstract
The Spanish Guideline on the Management of Asthma, better known by its acronym in Spanish GEMA, has been available for more than 20 years. Twenty-one scientific societies or related groups both from Spain and internationally have participated in the preparation and development of the updated edition of GEMA, which in fact has been currently positioned as the reference guide on asthma in the Spanish language worldwide. Its objective is to prevent and improve the clinical situation of people with asthma by increasing the knowledge of healthcare professionals involved in their care. Its purpose is to convert scientific evidence into simple and easy-to-follow practical recommendations. Therefore, it is not a monograph that brings together all the scientific knowledge about the disease, but rather a brief document with the essentials, designed to be applied quickly in routine clinical practice. The guidelines are necessarily multidisciplinary, developed to be useful and an indispensable tool for physicians of different specialties, as well as nurses and pharmacists. Probably the most outstanding aspects of the guide are the recommendations to: establish the diagnosis of asthma using a sequential algorithm based on objective diagnostic tests; the follow-up of patients, preferably based on the strategy of achieving and maintaining control of the disease; treatment according to the level of severity of asthma, using six steps from least to greatest need of pharmaceutical drugs, and the treatment algorithm for the indication of biologics in patients with severe uncontrolled asthma based on phenotypes. And now, in addition to that, there is a novelty for easy use and follow-up through a computer application based on the chatbot-type conversational artificial intelligence (ia-GEMA).

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Mechanical nasal obstruction (MNO) is a prevalent condition with a high impact on patient's quality-of-life (QoL) and socio-economic burden. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of both subjective and objective criteria in the appropriate management of MNO, either alone or associated to upper airway inflammatory diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) or chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). RECENT FINDINGS A long debate persists about the usefulness of subjective and objective methods for making decisions on the management of patients with nasal obstruction. Establishing standards and ranges of symptom scales and questionnaires is essential to measure the success of an intervention and its impact on QoL. To our knowledge this is the first real-life study to describe the management of MNO using both subjective and objective criteria in MNO isolated or associated to upper airway inflammatory diseases (AR or CRSwNP). Medical treatment (intranasal corticosteroids) has a minor but significant improvement in MNO subjective outcomes (NO, NOSE, and CQ7) with no changes in loss of smell and objective outcomes. After surgery, all MNO patients reported a significant improvement in both subjective and objective outcomes, this improvement being higher in CRSwNP. We concluded that in daily clinical practice, the therapeutic recommendation for MNO should be based on both subjective and objective outcomes, nasal corrective surgery being the treatment of choice in MNO, either isolated or associated to upper airway inflammatory diseases, AR or CRSwNP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Diagnostic criteria of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) include, among others, olfactory dysfunction (OD). We hypothesize that patients suffering with CRSwNP are good at self-assessing their sense of smell through visual analogue scale (VAS) compared to smell tests. METHODS A controlled cross-sectional study was planned. Adults diagnosed with severe CRSwNP waiting for endoscopic sinus surgery were included. A cohort of healthy controls was also studied. All participants performed Barcelona smell test (BAST-24), sinonasal outcomes test 22 (SNOT-22), and VAS for loss of smell. CRSwNP underwent blood test (eosinophils count, total serum IgE), CT scan (Lund-Mackay Score), and nasal endoscopy. RESULTS 138 severe CRSwNP and 40 controls subjects were included. The BAST-24 identification score was strongly correlated with the VAS score in the CRSwNP group (rho=-0.79, p<0.001) but not in the control group (rho=-0.14; p=0.39), this difference between groups being statistically significant (p<0.001). A significant correlation of SNOT-22 item 21 (loss of smell) was also found with BAST-24 identification (rho=-0.65, p<0.001), this difference being statistically significant (Z=-2.43; p=0.015). In the ROC curve, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.85 with 72.5% sensitivity and 93.1% specificity. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a potential role of the VAS score for the screening of OD in severe CRSwNP in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) is a minimally invasive approach that could be particularly appropriate for management of spheno-orbital meningiomas. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the management of spheno-orbital meningiomas via the minimally invasive ETOA, searching for clinical scenarios in which this approach could be best indicated. A secondary aim was to describe 4 illustrative cases. METHODS A systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Data including patient demographics, tumor features, and surgical and postoperative outcomes were collected. Cases from our initial experience with ETOA were included in the data. RESULTS Data of 58 patients from 9 selected records and from our surgical series were collected. Subtotal, near-total, and gross total resection rates were 44.8%, 10.3%, and 32.7%, respectively. Symptom improvement after surgery was 100% for proptosis, 93% for visual impairment, and 87% for ophthalmoplegia. The most common postoperative complications were transient ophthalmoplegia and maxillary nerve hypoesthesia. Cerebrospinal fluid leak was reported in 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS Our findings support the use of the ETOA for management of spheno-orbital meningiomas, particularly in at least 3 clinical scenarios: 1) when predominant hyperostotic bone is present; 2) when a globular tumor not showing excessive medial or inferior infiltration is being treated; 3) as part of a multistage treatment for diffuse lesions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the clinical practice, patients affected by chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) commonly complain of otologic symptoms. This review aims to describe the available literature evidence assessing the relationship between CRS and ear illnesses published in the last 5 years. RECENT FINDINGS Available evidence suggests a higher prevalence of otologic symptoms in patients suffering from CRS, affecting up to 87% of patients. These symptoms may be related to Eustachian tube dysfunction, which improves after treatment for CRS. A few studies suggested a potential but not confirmed role of CRS in cholesteatoma, chronic otitis media, and sensorineural hypoacusis. A special type of otitis media with effusion (OME) may occur in patients with CRS, which seems to respond well to new biologic therapy. Ear symptoms appear to be highly prevalent in patients with CRS. So far, the available evidence is robust only for Eustachian tube dysfunction, which has been shown to be particularly impaired in CRS patients. Additionally, the Eustachian tube function appears to improve after treatment for CRS. Finally, interesting preliminary data were described for eosinophilic otitis media, as it appears to respond well to the treatment with biologics.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a highly prevalent condition. CRS is usually managed with intranasal corticosteroids, useful both before as well as after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). However, the greatest drawback of these low-volume sprays is the inadequate delivery into the paranasal sinuses, even after ESS. Recent studies have shown that high-volume steroid nasal rinse (HSNR) has a significantly better penetration of the paranasal sinuses. The purpose of this state-of-the-art review is to systematically overview the current literature about the role of nasal rinses with steroids in CRS. Four authors examined four databases (Embase, Pubmed, Scielo, Cochrane). This review identified 23 studies answering 5 research questions. It included 1182 participants, 722 cases, and 460 controls. Available evidence suggests a potential positive effect of HSNR, which seems to be higher in CRS with nasal polyps. More well-designed studies are needed in order to obtain solid conclusions. The evidence is solid regarding the safety of this treatment modality in the short and long-term. We expect that this lack of severe negative effects will facilitate the acceptance of this treatment modality and the development of future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scientific evidence on patients with multimorbid type 2 asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) from a united airways disease (UAD) perspective remains scarce, despite the frequent coexistence of these entities. We aimed to generate expert consensus-based recommendations for the management of UAD patients. METHODS Using a two-round Delphi method, Spanish expert allergists, pulmonologists and otolaryngologists expressed their agreement on 32 statements (52 items) on a 9-point Likert scale, classified as appropriate (median 7-9), uncertain (4-6) or inappropriate (1-3). Consensus was considered when at least two-thirds of the panel scored within the range containing the median. RESULTS A panel of 30 experts reached consensus on the appropriateness of 43 out of the 52 (82.7%) items. The usefulness of certain biomarkers (tissue and peripheral blood eosinophil count, serum total IgE, and fraction of exhaled nitric oxide [FeNO]) in the identification and follow-up of type 2 inflammation, and assessment of the response to biologics, were agreed. Some of these biomarkers were also associated with disease severity and/or recurrence after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Consensus was achieved on treatment strategies related to the prescription of anti-IL-4/IL-13 or anti-IgE agents, concomitant treatment with systemic corticosteroids, and combining or switching to biologics with a different mechanism of action, considering a number of UAD clinical scenarios. CONCLUSION We provide expert-based recommendations to assist in clinical decision-making for the management of patients with multimorbid type 2 asthma and CRSwNP. Specific clinical trials and real-world studies focusing on the single-entity UAD are required to address controversial items.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the current management of allergic rhinitis (AR) in Spain's specialized care according to the next-generation ARIA guidelines. METHODS An ad hoc online survey was distributed to AR specialists to appraise their perceptions of pathology management, knowledge of next-generation ARIA guidelines (including four case clinics), and their views on the principal barriers and the actions to proper AR management. RESULTS one hundred nine specialists (38.5% allergists and 61.5% otolaryngologists) completed the study survey. Most respondents (87.2%) had read all or part of the Next-Generation ARIA Guidelines, and 81.6% stated that they considered the patient's treatment choice preferences. However, only 20.2% of specialists answered according to the recommendations in at least three of the four case clinics. Most participants failed to fulfill the treatment duration according to the guidelines. They regarded the lack of multidisciplinary teams (21.7%) and the lack of patients' AR treatment adherence (30.6%) as the most critical healthcare system- and patient-related barriers to the correct management of AR, respectively. Promoting patients' education was considered the most crucial action to improve it. CONCLUSION Despite specialists' awareness, there is a gap between the evidence-based guidelines' recommendations and their implementation in clinical practice.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Antrochoanal polyps (ACPs) are benign polypoid lesions arising from the inner wall of the maxillary sinus and extending into the choana. Although the diagnosis and treatment strategies of ACP have changed since this entity was first described, the underlying pathogenic mechanism of APC is poorly understood. This article reviews the current knowledge of the etiology, inflammatory parameters, and microscopic findings of ACP. RECENT FINDINGS The inflammatory pattern of ACP appears to center around a neutrophilic inflammation T1-dominant endotype. Apart from the inflammatory component of ACP, at the microscopic level, the presence of tissue remodeling, mostly fibrin deposition and edema, and cysts in the epithelium and lamina propria has been described. Although the origin of this T1-dominant endotype immune response of ACPs is not entirely clear, it could be related to a lymphatic obstruction mechanism. This review serves to define a phenotype of ACP with potential endotypes based on the characteristics of the inflammatory parameters, microscopic findings, and hypotheses about the pathogenesis of ACP.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Olfactory dysfunction contributes to the psychopathology of mental illness. In this review, we describe the neurobiology of olfaction, and the most common olfactory alterations in several mental illnesses. We also highlight the role, hitherto underestimated, that the olfactory pathways play in the regulation of higher brain functions and its involvement in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, as well as the effect of inflammation on neurogenesis as a possible mechanism involved in olfactory dysfunction in psychiatric conditions. RECENT FINDINGS The olfactory deficits present in anxiety, depression, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder consist of specific alterations of different components of the sense of smell, mainly the identification of odours, as well as the qualifications of their hedonic valence (pleasant or unpleasant). Epidemiological findings have shown that both environmental factors, such as air pollutants, and inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract, can contribute to an increased risk of mental illness, at least in part, due to peripheral inflammatory mechanisms of the olfactory system. In this review, we describe the neurobiology of olfaction, and the most common olfactory function alterations in several psychiatric conditions and its role as a useful symptom for the differential diagnosis. We also highlight the effect of inflammation on neurogenesis as a possible mechanism involved in olfactory dysfunction in these psychiatric conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), which is characterized by partial loss of smell (hyposmia) or total loss of smell (anosmia), is commonly associated with asthma and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease (N-ERD). CRSwNP worsens disease severity and quality of life. The objective of this real-world study was to determine whether biological treatments prescribed for severe asthma can improve olfaction in patients with CRSwNP. A further objective was to compare the improvement in in olfaction in N-ERD and non-N-ERD subgroups. METHODS We performed a multicenter, noninterventional, retrospective, observational study of 206 patients with severe asthma and CRSwNP undergoing biological treatment (omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, or reslizumab). RESULTS Olfaction improved after treatment with all 4 monoclonal antibodies (omalizumab [35.8%], mepolizumab [35.4%], reslizumab [35.7%], and benralizumab [39.1%]), with no differences between the groups. Olfaction was more likely to improve in patients with atopy, more frequent use of short-course systemic corticosteroids, and larger polyp size. The proportion of patients whose olfaction improved was similar between the N-ERD (37%) and non-N-ERD (35.7%) groups. CONCLUSIONS This is the first real-world study to compare improvement in olfaction among patients undergoing long-term treatment with omalizumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, or benralizumab for severe asthma and associated CRSwNP. Approximately 4 out of 10 patients reported a subjective improvement in olfaction (with nonsignificant differences between biologic drugs). No differences were found for improved olfaction between the N-ERD and non-N-ERD groups.

Abstract
Asthma, rhinitis and atopic dermatitis (AD) are interrelated clinical phenotypes that partly overlap in the human interactome. The concept of "one-airway-one-disease", coined over 20 years ago, is a simplistic approach of the links between upper- and lower-airway allergic diseases. With new data, it is time to reassess the concept. This article reviews (i) the clinical observations that led to Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA), (ii) new insights into polysensitisation and multimorbidity, (iii) advances in mHealth for novel phenotype definition, (iv) confirmation in canonical epidemiologic studies, (v) genomic findings, (vi) treatment approaches and (vii) novel concepts on the onset of rhinitis and multimorbidity. One recent concept, bringing together upper- and lower-airway allergic diseases with skin, gut and neuropsychiatric multimorbidities, is the "Epithelial Barrier Hypothesis". This review determined that the "one-airway-one-disease" concept does not always hold true and that several phenotypes of disease can be defined. These phenotypes include an extreme "allergic" (asthma) phenotype combining asthma, rhinitis and conjunctivitis. Rhinitis alone and rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity represent two distinct diseases with the following differences: (i) genomic and transcriptomic background (Toll-Like Receptors and IL-17 for rhinitis alone as a local disease; IL-33 and IL-5 for allergic and non-allergic multimorbidity as a systemic disease), (ii) allergen sensitisation patterns (mono- or pauci-sensitisation versus polysensitisation), (iii) severity of symptoms and (iv) treatment response. In conclusion, rhinitis alone (local disease) and rhinitis with asthma multimorbidity (systemic disease) should be considered as two distinct diseases, possibly modulated by the microbiome, and may be a model for understanding the epidemics of chronic and auto-immune diseases.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is known to affect around 5 % of the total population, with major impact on the quality of life of those severely affected (1). Despite a substantial burden on individuals, society and health economies, CRS often remains underdiagnosed, under-estimated and under-treated (2). International guidelines like the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) (3) and the International Consensus statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis 2021 (ICAR) (4) offer physicians insight into the recommended treatment options for CRS, with an overview of effective strategies and guidance of diagnosis and care throughout the disease journey of CRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Real-world evidence (RWE) is a valuable instrument to better understand the patient journey and effectiveness of therapies. RWE on the prevalence of uncontrolled chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and CRS natural course of disease across Europe is scarce. In addition, there is limited RWE that enables comparison of the effectiveness of marketed therapies including topical or systemic corticosteroids, sinus surgery, or biologics. OBJECTIVE To establish an international CHRonic rhINOSinusitis Outcome Registry (CHRINOSOR) based on real-world data collection enabled by mobile health technology. METHODOLOGY A digital platform, Galenus Health, supporting patients and physicians in the management of chronic respiratory diseases, is used to collect data on patient profile, disease history, patient outcomes, and a set of relevant clinical outcomes. Adult patients with a diagnosis of CRS are eligible for inclusion. RESULTS A collaborative scientific network of 17 university ear-nose-throat (ENT) clinics from 10 European countries has been established with the aim to collect real-world data in a longitudinal and standardized manner. The Galenus Health digital platform is currently being implemented in these ENT clinics taking into account legal, privacy, and data security aspects. Up to 300 patients have already been included. CONCLUSIONS CHRINOSOR is a collaborative effort that aims at improving our understanding of CRS, its comorbidities, and the effectiveness of its treatments. Ultimately, these insights will guide us as scientific community to develop future care pathways informed by RWE.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the different techniques described for the surgical repair of nasal septal perforation, and a surgical decision-making algorithm for its surgical treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Septal perforation surgery has evolved and improved in recent years. It has gone from being an avoided or discouraged surgical procedure to a procedure with success rates of >90%. Nowadays, there is no standard approach or single technique. The different techniques described include unilateral random pattern flaps, interposition grafts, unilateral pedicle septal local flaps, free mucosal grafts and bilateral random patter flaps. The incidence of success is higher in pediculated septal flaps such as the anterior ethmoidal artery flap or the greater palatine artery pedicled flap combined with additional techniques. SUMMARY Nowadays, surgical closure of septal perforation is possible and should be an option to consider in symptomatic patients without response to medical treatment. The surgical approach that we recommend when planning the surgical closure of nasal septum (or nasoseptal) perforation is based on the osseocartilaginous support and the location of the defect.

Abstract
Nasal endoscopy is not only used for the diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), but also for monitoring the response to therapy playing an important role in both daily practice and research. In contrast to patient-reported outcomes, endoscopic nasal polyp scoring by independent blinded readers is an objective measurement, not influenced by the placebo effect. It is safer and cheaper compared with computed tomography imaging and therefore, better suited for regular assessments of the extent of the disease. Since the early 90s, a variety of endoscopic staging methods have been proposed and used in clinical research, making it hard to compare results from different studies. This paper resulted from a task force with experts in the field of CRSwNP, originated by the Ear, Nose and Throat section of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology and aims to provide a unified endoscopic NP scoring system that can serve as a reference standard for researchers, but also as a useful tool for practitioners involved in the management of CRSwNP.

Abstract
MP-AzeFlu (intranasal fluticasone and azelastine) has been widely studied and has demonstrated efficacy in Allergic rhinitis with a superior effect compared to these drugs administered individually; however, the mechanism by which MP-AzeFlu produces this improved clinical effect has not yet been fully explained. In this study, we investigated the effect of MP-AzeFlu and fluticasone propionate (FP) on arachidonic acid metabolism as measured by changes in regulation of cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms, prostaglandin (PG) D2 , PGE2 , PGE2 receptor (EP) 2, and EP3. Expression of these key inflammation markers was assessed through an in vitro model of upper airway inflammation using fibroblasts derived from both healthy and inflamed upper airway mucosa. Both MP-AzeFlu and FP inhibited interleukin-1β-induced COX-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression and PGE2 secretion in vitro. MP-AzeFlu and FP both upregulated EP2 mRNA expression, though neither upregulated EP2 protein expression. This downregulation of COX-2 and PGE2 coupled with upregulation of EP2 receptor expression reinforces the anti-inflammatory effect of MP-AzeFlu in upper airway inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the consistency between the international guidelines recommendations and worldwide standard practices regarding diagnostic work-up and follow-up strategies for managing patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP) in the era of monoclonal antibodies. METHODS A questionnaire developed by the Rhinology section of the Young Otolaryngologists of the International Federation of Oto-rhino-laryngological Societies (Yo-IFOS) included items regarding the management of CRSwNP patients, monoclonal prescription, surgical and follow-up procedures, awareness of biologicals availability, and other relevant clinical practices. The online survey was directed to otolaryngologists and distributed in Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East through otolaryngological and/or rhinological societies. RESULTS A total of 202 responses were analyzed; the mean participants' age was 45 ± 11 (73% men and 27% women), and 31% were from the United States, Canada 19%, Europe 45%, Middle East and South America 5%. Only 60% of the respondents declared using validated symptoms and endoscopic score systems in their clinical practice. Several practice discrepancies emerged in our cohort, including preferred surgical approach, prescription of preoperative oral steroids, and perioperative antibiotics (59% and 58%, respectively), as well as divergent awareness levels of available biologics for CRSwNP worldwide. CONCLUSIONS CRSwNP needs a complex and time-consuming assessment, according to the latest guidelines. There seems to be a gap between these recommendations and the real-world data, which should draw more attention to bringing them into uniform clinical practice in the near future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A clear understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and its close association with other airway pathologies, especially asthma, helps to comprehend the concept of the united airway and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the actual roll of biologic therapy. AREAS COVERED This expert review is the synthesis of a working group on the current state of the art of the evaluation and management of CRSwNP. A thorough analysis of the literature has been conducted for the latest studies and results, specially the European (EPOS 2020) and American (ICAR-RS 2021) guidelines. EXPERT OPINION The roles of optimal medical treatment and indications for surgery are becoming clearer, but much research is still needed regarding the extent and radicality when surgery is indicated. The main objectives of this review were to provide a clear and updated description of treatments, their indication, follow-up, and response criteria. These steps are considering the broad spectrum of inflammation endophenotypes and the biologic therapy available. Understanding the role and limitations of each specialty is key for providing greatest benefit to the patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The endoscopic superior eyelid transorbital route to the skull base is gaining progressive popularity in the neurosurgical community. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anatomy of the middle cranial fossa from this novel ventral perspective to reach the skull base through the transorbital route and to show limits for possible safe middle fossa drilling from the transorbital route. METHODS Anatomic study was performed; 5 cadaveric specimens (ie, 10 sides) and 2 dry skulls (ie, 4 sides) were dissected. RESULTS To obtain a functional result, there are boundaries that correspond to neurovascular structures that traverse, enter, or leave the middle fossa that must be respected: inferiorly, the lateral pterygoid muscle; medially, the Gasserian ganglion and the lateral border of the foramen rotundum; laterally, the foramen spinosum with the middle meningeal artery; superiorly, the lesser sphenoid wing; posteriorly, the anterior border of the foramen ovale. Average bone resected was 6.49 ± 0.80 cm3 which is the 63% of total middle fossa floor. The mean axial surgical length calculated was 3.85 cm (3.18-5.19 cm) while the mean sagittal surgical length was 5.23 cm (4.87-6.55 cm). The mean horizontal angle of approach was 38.14° (32.87°-45.63°), while the mean vertical angle of approach was 18.56° (10.81°-26.76°). CONCLUSION Detailed anatomy of the middle cranial fossa is presented, and herewith we demonstrated that from the endoscopic superior eyelid transorbital approach removal of middle cranial fossa floor is possible when anatomic landmarks are respected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal mucosal melanoma is an aggressive malignancy with a 5-year survival rate ranging from 20% to 39%. Despite the evolving surgical and radiotherapy techniques, and introduction of immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy, overall survival rates remain poor. METHODOLOGY A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona and the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau between 1984 and 2020; primary outcome measures were 3 and 5-year melanoma-specific survival (MSS). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model were performed to identify predictors of survival. RESULTS Fifty patients were included, the mean age was 70.4, MSS at 3 and 5 years was 51.2%, and 29.5%, respectively. The median follow-up was 39.6 months during which 46% presented locoregional recurrence and 36%, metastasis. The univariate and multivariate analyses found as survival predictors the N category, the treatment received, the surgical margins and the mitotic index. CONCLUSIONS We found an overall 5-year MSS of 29.5%. Those patients with intention-to-cure (stages III and IVa) treated by surgery that were N0 at diagnosis, with < 10 mitoses per HPF showed a 5-year MSS rate of 74.1%. More studies will be needed to adequately define the patients' profiles that will benefit from a better survival outcome.

Endoscopic transorbital avenue to the skull base: Four-step conceptual analysis of the anatomic journey. Front Oncol 2022; 12:988131.

Abstract
Background In the last decades, skull base surgery had passed through an impressive evolution. The role of neuroanatomic research has been uppermost, and it has played a central role in the development of novel techniques directed to the skull base. Indeed, the deep and comprehensive study of skull base anatomy has been one of the keys of success of the endoscopic endonasal approach to the skull base. In the same way, dedicated efforts expended in the anatomic lab has been a powerful force for the growth of the endoscopic transorbital approach to the lateral skull base. Therefore, in this conceptual paper, the main steps for the anatomic description of the endoscopic transorbital approach to the skull base have been detailed. Methods The anatomic journey for the development of the endoscopic transorbital approach to the skull base has been analyzed, and four “conceptual” steps have been highlighted. Results As neurosurgeons, the eyeball has always represented a respectful area: to become familiar with this complex and delicate anatomy, we started by examining the orbital anatomy on a dry skull (step 1). Hence, step 1 is represented by a detailed bone study; step 2 is centered on cadaveric dissection; step 3 consists in 3D quantitative assessment of the novel endoscopic transorbital corridor; and finally, step 4 is the translation of the preclinical data in the real surgical scenario by means of dedicated surgical planning. Conclusions The conceptual analysis of the anatomic journey for the description of the endoscopic transorbital approach to the skull base resulted in four main methodological steps that should not be thought strictly consequential but rather interconnected. Indeed, such steps should evolve following the drives that can arise in each specific situation. In conclusion, the four-step anatomic rehearsal can be relevant for the description, diffusion, and development of a novel technique in order to facilitate the application of the endoscopic transorbital approach to the skull base in a real surgical scenario.
