Structured histopathology profiling of chronic rhinosinusitis in routine practice
TLDR
The objective of the study was to determine the associations between the histopathology, serology, and clinical characteristics in CRS patients.
Severity of allergic rhinitis and asthma development in children
TLDR
The results strongly indicate that the severity of AR may be an important factor that increases the risk of asthma development in children.
Nasal inflammation and reversible bronchial obstruction in asymptomatic allergic children
TLDR
A convincing association between nasal and sputum eosinophilia and a link between the former and the bronchodilator response, i.e. post-salbutamol forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), is demonstrated in adult patients with moderate–severe asthma.
Inflammatory cell predominance and patterns in chronic rhinosinusitis with and without nasal polyposis patients
TLDR
There is interest in identifying chronic rhinosinusitis endotypes that align pathophysiology with clinical observation and outcomes, and prevalence of leukocytes seen in surgical tissue may be useful for differentiating CRS subtypes, severity of inflammation, and outcomes.
P‐glycoprotein is a marker of tissue eosinophilia and radiographic inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps
TLDR
This study aims to determine if P‐gp expression is associated with degree of eosinophilia and severity of radiographic inflammation in patients with CRS without polyps (CRSsNP).
Nasal polyposis: an inflammatory condition requiring effective anti-inflammatory treatment

TLDR
There is mounting evidence for CRSwNP as a predominantly inflammatory disease, and simple histopathological classification on the basis of degrees of tissue eosinophilia reflects the underlying pathogenic mechanisms with diagnostic and prognostic implications.
Peripheral Eosinophil Counts Correlate With Nasal Eosinophil Counts in Patients With Rhinitis.
TLDR
Anatomy and Embriology, University of Salerno,Salerno, Italy, and University of Catania,Catania, Italy are leading the way in teaching and research in the field of endoscopy.
Nasal eosinophilia and eosinophil peroxidase in children and adolescents with rhinitis
TLDR
Nal eosinophil count was significantly associated with protein-corrected EPO in children and adolescents with rhinitis, and the largest area under the curve value was obtained when the receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn using the eos inophil number of 2.

Inflammatory subtypes in asthma: Assessment and identification using induced sputum
Objective:  The authors sought to investigate the detection of non‐eosinophilic asthma using induced sputum. Although this is an important subtype of clinical asthma, its recognition is not…
Nasal Eosinophils Display the Best Correlation with Symptoms, Pulmonary Function and Inflammation in Allergic Rhinitis
TLDR
Eosinophils in the nasal smear display the best correlation with all the clinical and immunological parameters in allergic rhinitis and also correlate well with methacholine response.

Eosinophilic inflammation in sputum of poorly controlled asthmatics
TLDR
Sputum eosinophils, LTE4, ECP and RANTES levels (but not IL-8) were significantly higher in patients with poorly controlled asthma as compared to patients with controlled asthma, andsputum cells and sputum inflammatory markers were not different among groups of patients with different severity of asthma.
Asthma and natural colds. Inflammatory indices in induced sputum: a feasibility study.
TLDR
It is concluded that induced sputum examination can be used to study the effects of natural colds and influenza on the airways of the lungs and the results suggest that naturalcolds, on Day 4, cause neutrophilic lower airway inflammation that is greater in asthmatics than in healthy subjects.
Comparison between nasal and bronchial inflammation in asthmatic and control subjects.
TLDR
The extent of eosinophilic inflammation of reticular basement membrane thickness and of the epithelium shedding is greater in bronchial than in nasal mucosa of asthmatic patients with perennial rhinitis.
Inflammatory mediators in nasal lavage, induced sputum and serum of employees with rheumatic and respiratory disorders.
TLDR
The data suggest that mediators in nasal lavage samples reflect the occupational exposure to moulds, whereas possible indicators of existing disorders are detectable in serum.
Epithelial shedding is associated with nasal reactions to cold, dry air.
Consensus statement * on the treatment of allergic rhinitis
TLDR
Current guidelines emphasize the importance of an accurate diagnosis of patients presenting with rhinitis symptoms and the morbidity of SAR obviously depends on the geographic region, the pollen season of the plants, and the local climate.
