1. Rhinosinusitis beyond the upper airways. Epidemiological aspects
Sammanfattning : Rhinosinusitis (RS) is a prevalent, multi-factorial disease, including several subgroups of disease with different characteristics and pathophysiology. RS symptoms for more than 12 weeks are defined as chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). LÄS MER
2. Aspects of Staphylococcus aureus in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Sammanfattning : Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects about 10% of the European population, and is considered a great scourge. Its cause is not clear. Findings of Staphylococcus aureus in the maxillary sinus are common in CRS patients, but are usually regarded as insignificant due to the bacterium’s attribute as a commensal elsewhere. S. LÄS MER
3. On Health-Related Quality of Life and Diagnostic Improvements in Rhinosinusitis
Sammanfattning : Rhinosinusitis is defined as an inflammatory process involving the mucosa of the nose and one or more of the paranasal sinuses. The aims of the work presented in this thesis were to investigate the degree to which rhinosinusitis affects the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and to determine whether the diagnosis of this condition can be improved using Doppler ultrasound.
