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.
Highlights in Otolaryngology
Nefopam + paracetamol effective post-operative analgesia
As published in Minerva Medica, the effective post-operative analgesic doses of nefopan, paracetamol, and combined nefopam + paracetamol were determined. The study involved 90 adults who underwent tonsillectomies. The effective doses of nefopam, paracetamol, and combined nefopam + paracetamol were 21.7 mg, 628 mg, and 8.9 mg + 265 mg (synergistic), respectively.

As published in Pediatric Anesthesia, the application of topical ketamine (20 mg) or tramadol (0.8 ml) to the tonsillar fossae for 5 min following tonsillectomy in children (n=60) reduced pain and the requirement for rescue analgesia.
Read the article summaryHay fever and asthma reduce risk of CRC incidence and mortality
As published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, patients with hay fever and asthma have a reduced risk of colorectal mortality (RR = 0.79-0.90) and colorectal incidence (RR = 0.90).
