Clinical Pearls in Otolaryngology
- Along with cough variant asthma and nasal disease, gastroesophageal reflux is considered one of three main causes of chronic cough
- Low Vitamin D levels are not associated with increased frequency of exacerbations or susceptibility to human rhinovirus (HRV) among individuals with COPD
- Middle-aged women with migraine or non-migraine headache are at increased risk of incident depression.
