| 1 | Endoscopic sinus surgery and aspirin desensitization improve otologic-specific SNOT-22 scores显示文摘Objective:There are few studies evaluating the impact of Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease(AERD)treatment on otologic symptoms.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS)and aspirin desensitization(AD)on otologic symptoms in subjects with AERD.Methods:Retrospective chart review of adult patients diagnosed with AERD at our tertiary Care Academic Medical Center-Otorhinolaryngology Department.Charts of adult patients diagnosed with AERD who underwent ESS and ASA desensitization at our institution’s AERD Center from 2016 to 2019 were reviewed.Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test 22-item survey(SNOT-22)scores were evaluated for patients at various time points including:pre-surgery,post-surgery/pre-aspirin desensitization,and various times post-desensitization up to>12 months.Within the SNOT-22,otologic-specific subdomain scores were evaluated at similar time points.Patients on immunomodulatory medications other than corticosteroids were excluded from analysis.Results:SNOT-22 scores were analyzed for 121 patients.There was a significant improvement in overall SNOT scores from pre-surgery(44.62)to post surgery/pre-desensitization(23.34)(P<0.0005).Similarly,SNOT-22 otologic-specific scores also improved after surgery prior to desensitization(3.19-2.04)(P=0.005).Following AD,the improvement in the overall SNOT-22 continued to improve for up to 12 months(P<0.005).While the otologic-specific SNOT-22 scores remained stable after surgery and ASA desensitization.Conclusion:ESS and AD reduce otologic-specific SNOT-22 scores and parallel trends in overall SNOT-22 scores.The effect of treatment is durable over the course of 12 months.Future work should aim to correlate otologic SNOT-22 scores with objective otologic data. | James G.Naples Andrew Corr Siddhant Tripathi Morgan Berman Jason A.Brant Michael J.Ruckenstein John Bosso | 2020 | World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery2020,6,4: | 1 |
| 2 | A joint call for actions to advance taxonomy in China显示文摘Taxonomy plays an important role in understanding the origin, evolution, and ecological functionality of biodiversity. There are large number of unknown species yet to be described by taxonomists, which together with their ecosystem services cannot be effectively protected prior to description. Despite this, taxonomy has been increasingly underrated insufficient funds and permanent positions to retain young talents. Further, the impact factordriven evaluation systems in China exacerbate this downward trend, so alternative evaluation metrics are urgently necessary. When the current generation of outstanding taxonomists retires,there will be too few remaining taxonomists left to train the next generation. In light of these challenges, all co-authors worked together on this paper to analyze the current situation of taxonomy and put out a joint call for immediate actions to advance taxonomy in China. | Chaodong Zhu Arong Luo Ming Bai Michael COrr Zhonge Hou Siqin Ge Jun Chen Yibo Hu Xuming Zhou Gexia Qiao Hongzhi Kong Limin Lu Xiaohua Jin Lei Cai Xinli Wei Ruilin Zhao Wei Miao Qingfeng Wang Zhongli Sha Qiang Lin Meng Qu Jianping Jiang Jiatang Li Jing Che Xuelong Jiang Xiaoyong Chen Lianming Gao Zongxin Ren Chunlei Xiang Shixiao Luo Donghui Wu Dong Liu Yanqiong Peng Tao Su Chenyang Cai Tianqi Zhu Wanzhi Cai Xingyue Liu Hu Li Huaijun Xue Zhen Ye Xuexin Chen Pu Tang Shujun Wei Hong Pang Qiang Xie Feng Zhang Feng Zhang Xianjin Peng Aibing Zhang Taiping Gao Changfa Zhou Chen Shao Libin Ma Zhaoming Wei Yunxia Luan Ziwei Yin Wu Dai Cong Wei Xiaolei Huang Jingxian Liu Xiangsheng Chen Tianci Yi Zhisheng Zhang Zhulidezi Aishan Qin Li Hongying Hu | 2022 | Zoological Systematics2022,47,3: | 1 |
| 5 | The demands of the extra-time period of soccer:A systematic review显示文摘Background:Soccer match-play is typically contested over 90 min;however,in some cup and tournament scenarios,when matches are tied,they proceed to an additional 30 min,which is termed 'extra-time^(ET).This systematic review sought to appraise the literature available on 120-min of soccer-specific exercise,with a view to identifying practical recommendations and future research opportunities.Methods:The review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines.Independent researchers performed a systematic search of PubMed,CINAHL,and PsycINFO in May 2019,with the following keywords entered in various combinations:'soccer','football','extra-time','extra time','extratime','120 minutes','120 min','additional 30 minutes',and 'additional 30 min'.Results:The search yielded an initial 73 articles.Following the screening process,11 articles were accepted for analyses.Articles were subsequently organized into the following 5 categories:movement demands of ET,performance responses to ET,physiological and neuromuscular response during ET,nutritional interventions,and recovery and ET.The results highlighted that during competitive match-play,players cover5%-12% less distance relative to match duration(i.e.,meters per minute) during ET compared to the preceding 90 min.Reductions in technical performance(i.e.,shot speed,number of passes and dribbles) were also observed during ET.Additionally,carbohydrate provision may attenuate and improve dribbling performance during ET.Moreover,objective and subjective measures of recovery may be further compromised following ET when compared to 90 min.Conclusion:Additional investigations are warranted to further substantiate these findings and identify interventions to improve performance during ET. | Adam Field Robert Joseph Naughton Matthew Haines Steve Lui Liam David Corr Mark Russell Richard Michael Page Liam David Harper | 2022 | Journal of Sport and Health Science2022,11,3: | 0 |
