				<abstract><![CDATA[Objective: To synthesize available evidence on the mechanistic role of adenoid hypertrophy and chronic adenoiditis in the pathogenesis of pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), given that the mechanistic relationship between adenoid disease and pediatric CRS remains incompletely synthesized.Data Sources: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines.Methods of Review: Eligible studies included children with CRS and evaluated adenoid-related mechanisms, including mechanical obstruction, impaired drainage, microbial reservoir function, biofilm formation, immune dysregulation, epithelial dysfunction, mucociliary impairment, or clinical outcomes after adenoidectomy. Study quality was appraised using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. Due to heterogeneity in study design, diagnostic criteria, and reported outcomes, a narrative synthesis was performed.Results: Nine studies involving 927 pediatric participants were included. Evidence for mechanical obstruction was mixed, as adenoid size did not consistently correlate with CRS severity. Stronger evidence supported the role of the adenoid as a microbial reservoir and biofilm-bearing tissue, with studies reporting pathogenic bacterial colonization and extensive adenoidal biofilm in children with CRS. Limited molecular evidence suggested reduced surfactant protein-D expression, while epithelial barrier dysfunction and mucociliary impairment were supported mainly by indirect findings. Adenoidectomy improved symptoms and quality of life in selected children with medically refractory CRS.Conclusion:Adenoid hypertrophy and chronic adenoiditis appear to be associated with pediatric CRS through combined obstructive, microbial, biofilm-related, inflammatory, and immunological pathways, although causal relationships cannot be established from the available evidence. Adenoidectomy appears beneficial in selected refractory cases, although further prospective mechanistic studies are needed.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) is a common cause of upper airway obstruction in the paediatric population, resulting in sleep disturbances, chronic airway obstruction, and potential cardiopulmonary complications. The Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) is a sensitive, non-invasive method for assessing pulmonary function and detecting abnormalities of the peripheral airways.Materials and Methods: This prospective pre–post cohort study included 35 patients aged 5–20 years with ATH who underwent FOT assessment before and six weeks after adenotonsillectomy. The parameters evaluated included total airway resistance (R5), central airway resistance (R20), peripheral airway resistance (R5–R20), reactance (X5), area of reactance (Ax), and resonant frequency (Fres).Results: Significant postoperative improvements were observed in R5 (0.46 ± 0.25 to 0.41 ± 0.25 kPa/L/s; p = 0.001), R20 (0.35 ± 0.19 to 0.30 ± 0.18 kPa/L/s; p = 0.001), X5 (−0.24 ± 0.16 to −0.12 ± 0.13 kPa/L/s; p &lt; 0.001), Ax (2.93 ± 2.30 to 2.08 ± 1.71 kPa/L/s; p &lt; 0.001), and Fres (24.89 ± 6.75 to 22.30 ± 6.00 Hz; p&lt; 0.001). Although R5–R20 improved (0.10 ± 0.10 to 0.09 ± 0.10 kPa/L/s), the change was not statistically significant (p = 0.427). As R5–R20, X5, and Ax reflect peripheral airway function, improvements in these parameters suggest enhanced peripheral airway function following adenotonsillectomy. No significant association was found between pulmonary function and the degree of adenoid or tonsillar hypertrophy.Conclusion: FOT effectively detected improvements in pulmonary function following adenotonsillectomy and may be a valuable tool for evaluating respiratory changes in patients with ATH. Larger studies are warranted to better define its clinical utility.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction: Some studies have shown that gabapentin administration is associated with neuroregeneration. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of daily gabapentin administration on the histological alterations of the facial nerve (FN) following experimental crush injury in Wistar rats.Materials and Methods: Twenty-one Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups of seven: a sham-control group, a vehicle group, and a gabapentin group that received gabapentin after nerve injury induction. At the end of the intervention, the animals were sacrificed under anesthesia, and FN tissue samples were collected to evaluate the number of myelinated axons and Schwann cells. The data were analyzed using SPSS software, and a P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The mean number of myelinated axons was 37.00 ± 2.65 in the sham-control group, 19.86 ± 2.85 in the vehicle group, and 27.29 ± 2.93 in the gabapentin group, with the latter showing an intermediate value between the other two groups (η² = 0.879; P &lt; 0.001). Similarly, the highest mean Schwann cell count was observed in the sham-control group (43.00 ± 2.89), whereas the lowest was found in the vehicle group (21.72 ± 2.06). The mean Schwann cell count in the gabapentin group was 34.29 ± 2.87 (η² = 0.928; P &lt; 0.001).Conclusion: Daily gabapentin administration following FN crush injury resulted in a considerable increase in myelinated axons and S100-positive Schwann cells. These findings suggest that gabapentin may support structural nerve repair after FN injury. Further functional evaluation and cellular and molecular studies are needed.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction:Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a common condition that can lead to middle ear disorders and significantly affect quality of life. This study aimed to develop a novel Endoscopic Eustachian Tube Orifice Patency Score (ETOPS) and explore its potential relationship with ETD.Materials and Methods:In this prospective observational study, 40 adult patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of ETD underwent diagnostic nasal endoscopy using a 70° endoscope. The Eustachian tube nasopharyngeal orifice was graded using the newly proposed ETOPS. ETOPS values were compared with ETDQ-7 symptom scores and tympanometric findings.Results:A significant positive correlation was observed between ETOPS and ETDQ-7 scores (r = 0.74, p &lt; 0.001). Inter-observer reliability was good (ICC = 0.89). Patients with Type B and Type C tympanograms demonstrated significantly higher ETOPS values than those with Type A tympanograms (p&lt; 0.001).Conclusion:The proposed ETOPS may serve as a simple and reproducible endoscopic grading system for evaluating Eustachian tube dysfunction. Further validation using real patient data is required to establish its clinical utility.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction: Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) is a common condition with an estimated prevalence between 8-30% in the general population. The complaints of LPRD are non-specific and may overlap with many other common conditions leading to misdiagnosis.Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) is a 9-item patient response based questionnaire developed to diagnose LPRD. Similarly, Reflux Finding Score (RFS) is an 8-item based scoring system created to diagnose LPRD based on endoscopic findings during laryngoscopy.The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of the two scoring systems in identifying patients with LPRD.Materials and Methods: Patients with features suggestive of LPRD were considered for participation as per strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The RSI and RFS was calculated in each case and result was analyzed for statistical significance.Results: Total of 150 patients were identified with 37.38 years as mean age of presentation. M:F ratio was 1:1.88. 111 cases (74%) had RSI score above 13 suggestive of LPRD with mean RSI of 19.58. 84 cases (56%) had RFS above 7 suggestive of LPRD with mean RFS of 7.29. There was a positive correlation between RSI score and RFS.Conclusion: There was positive correlation between RSI score and RFS in our study (p&lt;0.0001) and the correlation was stronger with RSI scores above 13. This corroborates with the findings of most studies although some authors have inferred otherwise. Using both RSI score and RFS may be useful and complimentary to each other for the correct diagnosis of LPRD.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction:Branchial cleft cysts (BCCs) account for nearly one-third of congenital cervical masses, but their occurrence within the nasopharynx is exceedingly uncommon. Most reported nasopharyngeal cases involve children or young adults; presentation in older patients raises concern for cystic metastasis from an occult head and neck malignancy.Case Report:We describe a 64-year-old man with a three-year history of progressive bilateral nasal obstruction and recurrent rhinosinusitis. Endoscopy disclosed a smooth, mobile, midline pinkish nasopharyngeal mass; cross-sectional imaging confirmed a well-defined T2-hyperintense cystic lesion in the upper posterior nasopharynx. Endoscopic transnasal piecemeal excision was performed, and histopathology established a branchial cleft cyst without dysplasia or malignancy. The patient remained asymptomatic on follow-up. Conclusion:This case underscores the importance of including nasopharyngeal BCC in the differential diagnosis of cystic nasopharyngeal lesions, even in elderly patients in whom cystic carcinoma metastasis must first be excluded.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Introduction: Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare, benign condition of unknown cause. It presents with red, purple, or brown bumps, patches, or lumps that develop in the skin or under the skin. It often appears in the head and neck area and near the ears.Case Report: A 42-year-old woman presented with multiple red lesions in the area around the ear. The patient had a history of treatment with steroid cream and steroid injections into the lesion, but there was no improvement. The initial biopsy was folliculitis, and the final pathology report reported ALHE.Conclusion:Surgical treatment resulted in improvement. ALHE should be considered as a potential diagnosis when a patient presents with isolated, well-defined bumps that look like blood vessels and may have a broken surface (ulcer) or crust. Despite ongoing research, questions regarding the etiology and pathogenesis of ALHE remain unanswered, and it requires further studies.]]></abstract>
