Wang YH, Lin CW, Huang CW. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids as Potential Treatments for COVID-19-Induced Anosmia. Biomedicines 2024; 12:2085.

Abstract
Some individuals with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) experience anosmia, or loss of smell. Although the prevalence of anosmia has decreased with the emergence of the Omicron variant, it remains a significant concern. This review examines the potential role of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly omega-3 PUFAs, in treating COVID-19-induced anosmia by focusing on the underlying mechanisms of the condition. Omega-3 PUFAs are known for their anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and neurotransmission-enhancing properties, which could potentially aid in olfactory recovery. However, study findings are inconsistent. For instance, a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial found no significant effect of omega-3 PUFA supplementation on olfactory recovery in patients with COVID-19-induced anosmia. These mixed results highlight the limitations of existing research, including small sample sizes, lack of placebo controls, short follow-up periods, and combined treatments. Therefore, more rigorous, large-scale studies are urgently needed to definitively assess the therapeutic potential of omega-3 PUFAs for olfactory dysfunction. Further research is also crucial to explore the broader role of PUFAs in managing viral infections and promoting sensory recovery.

The Role of Corticosteroid Nasal Irrigations in the Management of Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A State-of-the-Art Systematic Review. J Clin Med 2023; 12:3605. [PMID: 37240711 PMCID: PMC10219545 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12103605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a highly prevalent condition. CRS is usually managed with intranasal corticosteroids, useful both before as well as after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). However, the greatest drawback of these low-volume sprays is the inadequate delivery into the paranasal sinuses, even after ESS. Recent studies have shown that high-volume steroid nasal rinse (HSNR) has a significantly better penetration of the paranasal sinuses. The purpose of this state-of-the-art review is to systematically overview the current literature about the role of nasal rinses with steroids in CRS. Four authors examined four databases (Embase, Pubmed, Scielo, Cochrane). This review identified 23 studies answering 5 research questions. It included 1182 participants, 722 cases, and 460 controls. Available evidence suggests a potential positive effect of HSNR, which seems to be higher in CRS with nasal polyps. More well-designed studies are needed in order to obtain solid conclusions. The evidence is solid regarding the safety of this treatment modality in the short and long-term. We expect that this lack of severe negative effects will facilitate the acceptance of this treatment modality and the development of future studies.

Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2023; 130:46-57. [PMID: 36116748 DOI: 10.1016/j.anai.2022.09.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze published reports on the efficacy and safety of CSI in CRS and evaluate the clinical implications of current gaps in evidence. Corticosteroid irrigation (CSI) is commonly used for management of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps; however, such use is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). DATA SOURCES Publications were obtained through PubMed searches through January 2022. STUDY SELECTION Searches were conducted using 2 terms: "chronic rhinosinusitis" or "nasal polyps" as the first term and "corticosteroid irrigation," "steroid nasal lavage," or "sinus rinse" as the second term. We reviewed relevant, peer-reviewed literature (19 original research [9 controlled, 10 uncontrolled trials], 7 reviews, and 1 meta-analysis) reporting safety and efficacy of CSI in patients with CRS. RESULTS Studies were difficult to compare because they used a variety of solution volumes (60 mL to 125 mL per nostril), corticosteroid agents (budesonide, betamethasone, mometasone, or fluticasone), corticosteroid doses, preparation protocols (by compounding pharmacy or by patient), and administration (frequency, time of day, body positioning). It is difficult to determine which parameters might substantially influence clinical effects because studies were generally small, showed marginal benefits, and rarely assessed safety. To date, no studies evaluating CSI have shown statistically significant differences in a type-I error-controlled primary end point over any comparator, possibly owing to small sample sizes. CONCLUSION Designing more robust clinical trials may help determine whether CSI is a valid treatment option. Until more evidence supporting CSI use exists, health care professionals should strongly consider choosing FDA-approved therapies for the treatment of CRS.

Abstract
Corticosteroids are efficacious in treating chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but concerns on the potential side effects remain, especially for long-term usage of systemic corticosteroids. Accumulated evidence shows that transnasal nebulization may be a reasonable solution in balancing both efficacy and safety. However, no consensus or guideline has been formulated on the use of steroid transnasal nebulization in treating CRS. The consensus is achieved through literature review and exchange of Chinese experts in Group of Otorhinolaryngology and Ophthalmology, Chinese Society of Allergy (CSA). This document covers the development, equipment, pharmacological mechanism, and evidence-based efficacy and safety, as well as the special concern of the application of steroid transnasal nebulization during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The expert consensus clarifies the application of steroid transnasal nebulization in treating CRS and common comorbidities during the perioperative and postoperative periods.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) causes long-term discomfort for patients, and due to the frequent relapses and dissatisfaction with current treatments, CRS patients pay more attention to herbal-traditional remedies nowadays. Nigella sativa seed has a special place in Traditional Persian medicine because of its therapeutic and clinical applications. Therefore, we decided to evaluate the effect of N. sativa seed extract on clinical symptoms of CRS patients. In a double-blind controlled clinical trial on CRS patients referred to otolaryngology clinics of Firoozgar and Amiralmomenin hospitals, all the patients used nasal drops of the N. sativa (drug) or sesame oil extract (placebo), and standard SNOT-22 questionnaire completed on days 0 and 28th of study. Data collected and statistical analysis performed by SPSS software. Level of significance was considered as P < 0.05. Out of 53 subjects (33 male and 20 female), 27 were assigned in the drug group and 26 in the placebo group. The mean SNOT-22 score on the 28th day was 19.08 ± 13.21 in the drug group, and in the placebo group, the mean was 37.15 ± 21.47 (P = 0.001). N. sativa extract was particularly effective in improving the feeling of pain, pressure or fullness, numbness and congestion in the nose, and reduction of bad breath. The results of our study indicated that the N. sativa seed nasal drop significantly improved the symptoms of CRS-especially, four major and one minor symptoms- and improved the quality of life of the patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) are used in the management of sinonasal conditions. Use of exogenous steroids can be associated with hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction and adrenal insufficiency (AI). We aimed to estimate the rate of AI after INCS use in a meta-analysis, stratified by steroid type and treatment duration. METHODS Ovid Medline, Embase Classic, PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases were searched following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines to identify studies investigating INCS use and AI. AI was defined as morning serum cortisol <550 nmol/L and <80 nmol/L with and without adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation. INCS were classified as first (beclomethasone dipropionate, triamcinolone acetonide, beclomethasone, budesonide, dexamethasone) and second (ciclesonide, mometasone furoate, and fluticasone propionate) generation. Duration of treatment was classified as short (<1 month), medium (1-12 months), and long-term (>12 months) time periods. RESULTS This search identified 3668 articles. A total of 39 studies (1678 patients) were included in the final analysis. The pooled percentage of AI for routinely utilized first- and second-generation INCS was 0.70% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.29-1.12%). Stratified by type, AI was observed in 0.78% (95% CI, 0.25-1.30%) of first-generation and 0.58% (95% CI, -0.1% to 1.26%) of second-generation steroids. AI was seen in 0.48% (95% CI, -0.01% to 0.96%) of short-term, 1.13% (95% CI, 0.2-2.1%) of medium-term, and 1.67% (95% CI, 0.37-2.9%) of long-term use of INCS. CONCLUSION Overall, the use of INCS carries a low risk for AI. Although modest, this risk may differ depending on the length of duration and type of INCS used. Informing patients of these risks is of importance for the treatment of chronic sinonasal conditions.

Abstract
Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the nasal and sinus linings, rhinorrhea, nasal blockage, facial pain, and loss of sense of smell for longer than 12 weeks. CRS can occur with or without nasal polyps.Areas covered: First-line treatment in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is long-term intranasal corticosteroids, which have few adverse events associated with their use, as second-generation intranasal corticosteroids having a bioavailability of <0.5%. Systemic corticosteroids are used when intranasal steroids fail to achieve symptom control. However, the repeated use of oral corticosteroids is associated with numerous adverse events and the benefit from a course of oral corticosteroids is lost within three to six months.Expert opinion: Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in nasal polyposis although there is also very little evidence for their use outside of acute infection. Macrolide antibiotics are also associated with a transient increase in the risk of arrhythmias. Biologics offer a steroid-sparing alternative to the treatment of severe nasal polyposis. They have shown to be relatively well tolerated in studies to date; however, studies suggest that there is no disease modifying effect and that any benefit is lost within weeks of finishing treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a disease that can significantly reduce patients' quality of life (QoL). Intranasal steroid therapy is the most commonly used treatment for CRS. There are many evaluation tools dedicated to assessing CRS patients' QoL, but none of them evaluates QoL during local steroid therapy. Mucosal atomization devices (MADs) and nasal saline irrigation (NSI) are effective and safe methods of applying intranasal steroids for CRS patients. Materials and Methods: The sample population for this prospective study comprised 43 CRS patients. Following endoscopic sinus surgery, all participants received intranasal steroids administered via an MAD, followed by NSI for 1.5 months. Each participant completed the SNOT-22 (22-item Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test) score and a new questionnaire, the Complementary Topical Nasal Drug Delivery Questionnaire (the Complementary Questionnaire), at the end of 3 months of intranasal steroid therapy. Results: The patients' responses in both the SNOT-22 score and the Complementary Questionnaire revealed significant differences in their adverse experiences. The patients who received intranasal steroid treatment using NSI experienced more frequently delayed nasal drainage, higher frequency of ear symptoms, and facial pain/pressure, while those whose therapy was administered using an MAD reported complaints such as nasal irritation, nasal dryness, and postnasal drip with unpleasant taste/smell. Conclusion: We used the Complementary Questionnaire as an effective tool for assessment of the QoL of CRS patients. The SNOT-22 score and the Complementary Questionnaire make it possible to select an intranasal applicator tailored to a CRS patient's specific complaints.

Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis is an upper respiratory disease during which topical drug treatment via the nasal cavity is the most actively utilized therapeutic strategy. In addition to steroids, antibiotics, and antifungal agents, which are widely used in clinical practice, research on novel topical agents to improve the bacterial biofilm or mucociliary clearance remains ongoing. Moreover, owing to the complex structure of the nasal cavity, the effects of nasal drug delivery vary depending on factors related to delivery fluid dynamics, including device, volume, and compounds. In this article, we review methods and compounds that have been applied to chronic rhinosinusitis management and introduce recent advances and future perspectives in nasal drug delivery for upper respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), also known as Churg-Strauss syndrome, is eosinophil-rich, necrotizing granulomatous inflammation often involving the respiratory tract. Furthermore, EGPA is necrotizing vasculitis that predominantly affects small to medium vessels and is associated with asthma and eosinophilia. Most patients with EGPA have sinusitis and some complain of hearing loss and refractory otitis media with effusion. Systemic use of immunosuppressants and glucocorticoids is currently recommended, despite the inevitable associated side effects. However, systemic treatment is not always effective for nasal and ear symptoms. We report a case of EGPA with refractory otitis media and chronic sinusitis, which were resistant to systemic high-dose steroids and immunosuppressants. However, these symptoms responded well to functional endoscopic sinus surgery and myringotomy and grommet insertion. We also administered budesonide nasal irrigation and glucocorticoid injection by intratympanic and postaural methods in this patient. The therapeutic effect was satisfactory.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recently, more attention has been paid to herbal treatment in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. Chamomile (Matrricaria chamomilla) has extensive clinical uses in traditional-Persian medicine for its therapeutic properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chamomile extract on the clinical symptoms of patients with CRS in a university hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a randomized double-blind placebo-group clinical trial, 74 CRS patients were examined by an otolaryngologist blinded to the study groups, and the effects of treatment (according to SNOT-22 questionnaire) and possible complications recorded. Statistical analysis performed using SPSS software version 21, and level of significance considered as P < 0.05. RESULTS Of the 74 patients (31 females and 43 male), 37 cases randomized in the intervention and 37 cases in the placebo group. The Lund-Mackay score, clinical findings in endoscopic nasal examination and mean score of the SNOT-22 were not significantly different at baseline visit between the two study groups. The adjusted mean score of quality of life during the four time periods in the intervention group (34.3, confidence interval of 95%: 31.8-36.7) was significantly lower than that of control group (45.9, confidence interval of 95%: 43.5-48.4) (P-value = 0.001). Also, clinical improvement in endoscopic nasal examination was significant in intervention group compared with placebo group. CONCLUSION Chamomile extract is effective in further reducing the clinical symptoms and improving the quality of life of CRS patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this scholarly review is to present an update of the efficacy, safety, and distribution of intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) in the context of treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature review from 1999 to 2020 of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE databases was performed, using a comprehensive search strategy. Studies reporting on efficacy, safety, and distribution of all INCS formulations, both Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and non-FDA approved, were reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS High-level evidence publications and position papers support the role of INCS in medical treatment for CRS. Significant improvement in disease-specific and general quality of life measures is observed with all formulations of INCS. Overall, the use of both FDA and published non-FDA INCS appears to be safe. Several novel distribution devices might improve penetration to specific areas within the sinuses.

Abstract
Introduction Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a chronic disorder with significant morbidity and a high recurrence rate needing long-term follow-up. Even after its first description many decades ago, there is still considerable uncertainty about the management of this condition. Description In this chapter, we breakdown the topic “Optimal management of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis” into sub-headings in order to discuss the latest research and available literature under each topic in great detail. Every attempt has been made to incorporate the highest level of evidence that was available at the time of writing. Summary Pre-operative diagnosis and further management prior to surgery is important. Steroids help in reducing inflammation and help improve the surgical field. Surgery remains the mainstay in the management of this condition along with long-term medical management. Oral steroids are reserved for acute flare-ups in the background of associated lung concerns. Oral and topical antifungal agents have no role in the control of the disease. Biological agents are being prescribed predominantly by respiratory physician colleagues, mainly for the control of the chest-related issues rather than for sinus disease. Immunotherapy as an adjunct with surgery is promising. Conclusion AFRS is a disease with many variables and a wide range of symptomatic presentation. It takes a keen clinician to identify the disease and subsequently manage the condition. Treatment involves long-term follow-up with early detection of recurrence or flare-ups. Any of the mentioned modalities of management may be employed to effectively control the condition, and treatment protocols will have to be tailor-made to suit each individual patient. Various medications and drugs such as Manuka honey, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy, hydrogen peroxide and betadine rinses appear to be promising. More robust studies need to be undertaken to ascertain their routine use in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To address concerns related to the safety profile of both Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and non-FDA-approved intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) use in the pediatric population. DATA SOURCE Systematic review of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE databases using comprehensive search strategy, including all INCS formulations and adverse events. The study design was developed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Additional sources were identified from study references of relevant articles. REVIEW METHODS A structured literature search was conducted. Extracted data included age, population size, study design, drug (dosage, route, and frequency), presence of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, ocular symptoms, and growth velocity adverse events. RESULTS A total of 33 studies met inclusion criteria. The studies included use of INCS as nasal sprays and drops. There were no persistent abnormalities noted in cortisol level or intraocular pressure change. Growth velocity reduction was reported in 3 of 10 randomized trials. Meta-analysis of epistaxis and headache showed no significant difference in the incidence of headache or epistaxis when FDA-approved INCSs were compared to placebo, with a relative risk of 1.12 (95% CI, 0.77-1.63; P = .56) and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.60-1.18; P = .32), respectively. Meta-analysis was not performed for growth velocity, HPA axis suppression, and ocular change. CONCLUSIONS INCSs in FDA-approved routes of administration are generally safe to use in the pediatric population. Use of non-FDA-approved INCS drops may increase risk of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome. Growth velocity reduction, HPA axis suppression, and visual changes due to INCS are uncommon.

Abstract
Objectives To address concerns related to the safety profile of both Food and Drug Administration (FDA)–approved and non–FDA-approved intranasal corticosteroid (INCS) use in the adult population. Data Source Systematic review of MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE databases using a comprehensive search strategy including all INCS formulations and adverse events. The study design was developed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Additional sources were identified from study references of relevant articles. Review Methods A structured literature search was conducted. Each study was graded for level of evidence using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. Extracted data included population size, study design, drug (dosage, route, and frequency), presence of hypothalamus pituitary axis suppression, ocular symptoms, and treatment-related adverse events. Results A total of 60 studies met inclusion criteria. The studies included use of INCS as metered nasal sprays, drops, injections, aerosols, and irrigations. There were no persistent abnormalities in cortisol level or intraocular pressure change. Meta-analysis of epistaxis showed a significantly increased risk in the FDA-approved treatment group in comparison with control (risk ratio 1.56; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-2.14; P = .007). Conclusions Overall, it appears that the use of both FDA and published non-FDA application of INCS are safe in the adult population. Meta-analysis demonstrated an increased risk of epistaxis in patients using INCS compared with placebo. Otherwise, there was no significant difference between in adults in the treatment group and placebo group. As an important caveat, the interpretation of safety of nonstandard INCS is restricted to delivery methods and dosages published in the literature.

Abstract
The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines-with a focus on China-will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.

Comparative study of simulated nebulized and spray particle deposition in chronic rhinosinusitis patients. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2019; 9:746-758. [PMID: 30821929 DOI: 10.1002/alr.22324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2018] [Revised: 01/26/2019] [Accepted: 02/10/2019] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Topical intranasal drugs are widely prescribed for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), although delivery can vary with device type and droplet size. The study objective was to compare nebulized and sprayed droplet deposition in the paranasal sinuses and ostiomeatal complex (OMC) across multiple droplet sizes in CRS patients using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). METHODS Three-dimensional models of sinonasal cavities were constructed from computed tomography (CT) scans of 3 subjects with CRS refractory to medical therapy using imaging software. Assuming steady-state inspiratory airflow at resting rate, CFD was used to simulate 1-µm to 120-µm sprayed droplet deposition in the left and right sinuses and OMC with spray nozzle positioning as in current nasal spray use instructions. Zero-velocity nebulization simulations were performed for 1-µm to 30-µm droplet sizes, maximal sinus and OMC deposition fractions (MSDF) were obtained, and sizes that achieved at least 50% of MSDF were identified. Nebulized MSDF was compared to sprayed droplet deposition. We also validated CFD framework through in vitro experiments. RESULTS Among nebulized droplet sizes, 11-µm to 14-µm droplets achieved at least 50% of MSDF in all 6 sinonasal cavities. Four of 6 sinonasal cavities had greater sinus and OMC deposition with nebulized droplets than with sprayed droplets at optimal sizes. CONCLUSION Nebulized droplets may target the sinuses and OMC more effectively than sprayed particles at sizes achieving best deposition. Further studies are needed to confirm our preliminary findings. Several commercial nasal nebulizers have average particle sizes outside the optimal nebulized droplet size range found here, suggesting potential for product enhancement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Topical budesonide (Pulmicort; AstraZeneca AB, Sodertalje, Sweden) is commonly used in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Although its use is due to its perceived anti-inflammatory effect, studies have suggested that it may also have antibacterial properties. To make the hydrophobic steroid molecule suitable for topical administration, pharmaceutical excipients are used in commercial steroid formulations. Herein we investigated the antibacterial action of commercial budesonide and its excipients. METHODS Planktonic and biofilm forms of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were treated with Pulmicort or its excipients at clinically relevant concentrations. Bacterial growth was determined by optical density, resazurin assays, colony-forming unit counts, and Giemsa staining. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) studies assessed excipients' potentiation of antibiotics. Experiments were conducted in triplicate and results analyzed using one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS There was significant reduction in planktonic and biofilm growth of S aureus and MRSA on exposure to budesonide (p < 0.0001) and its excipients (p < 0.0001). Excipient ethylene diamine-tetraactic acid (EDTA) demonstrated an antibacterial property even at the low concentrations used in topical preparations (p < 0.0001). With amoxicillin, excipients exhibited a potential additive/synergistic effect on MIC, whereas erythromycin and aminoglycosides showed an antagonistic action. CONCLUSION The commercial product Pulmicort has a direct antibacterial effect on the planktonic and biofilm forms of S aureus and MRSA. This effect is at least in part mediated through the excipient EDTA in the product. Excipients also influenced the antimicrobial activity of antibiotics depending on the bacterial strain and antibiotic tested.

ALLERGY, ASTHMA & IMMUNOLOGY RESEARCH 2019; 11:482-497. [PMID: 31172717 PMCID: PMC6557780 DOI: 10.4168/aair.2019.11.4.482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2018] [Revised: 02/08/2019] [Accepted: 02/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Purpose Corticosteroids are regarded as the mainstay of medical treatment of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP). To date, a head-to-head comparison of the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoid preparations administered via different routes for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps has not been reported. To compare the efficacy and safety of steroids administered via the oral, intranasal spray and transnasal nebulization routes in the management of ECRSwNP over a short course. Methods Overall, 91 patients with ECRSwNP were recruited prospectively and randomized to receive either oral methylprednisolone, budesonide inhalation suspension (BIS) via transnasal nebulization, or budesonide nasal spray (BNS) for 2 weeks. Nasal symptoms and polyp sizes were assessed before and after the treatment. Similarly, nasal polyp samples were evaluated for immunological and tissue remodeling markers. Serum cortisol levels were assessed as a safety outcome. Results Oral methylprednisolone and BIS decreased symptoms and polyp sizes to a significantly greater extent from baseline (P < 0.05) than BNS. Similarly, BIS and oral methylprednisolone significantly reduced eosinophils, T helper 2 cells, eosinophil cationic protein, interleukin (IL)-5, and expression of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9, and significantly increased type 1 regulatory T cells, IL-10, transforming growth factor-β, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 and 2 in nasal polyps to a greater extent than BNS. Post-treatment serum cortisol levels were significantly decreased by oral methylprednisolone compared to BIS or BNS, which did not significantly alter the cortisol levels. Conclusions A short course of BIS transnasal nebulization is more efficacious compared to BNS in the management of ECRSwNP and is safer than oral methylprednisolone with respect to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the use and risks of long-term corticosteroids in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). RECENT FINDINGS Long-term use of systemic corticosteroids is not indicated in the management of CRS due to the associated side effects and potential complications. Therefore, recent research has focused on the safety and efficacy of topical corticosteroid, particularly second-generation corticosteroids, and their modes of administration. Second-generation corticosteroids are more potent and have less systemic bioavailability than their first-generation counterparts. However, caution must be taken with concomitant use of more than two types of corticosteroids (topical, systemic, inhaled etc.) and also with their dosage and frequency of administration to avoid adrenal suppression, growth suppression in children, elevated intraocular pressure or epistaxis. Research is ongoing into therapies that may reduce corticosteroid resistance which has been demonstrated in some nasal polyps. SUMMARY Corticosteroids play an essential role in the management of CRS; however, use must be tailored to the patient-specific disease and requires ongoing review and regular reevaluation by their physician.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although short-term use (≤2 months) of atomized topical nasal steroids has been shown to be safe and effective, the long-term safety has yet to be demonstrated. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of long-term topical budesonide treatment via the mucosal atomization device (MAD) on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPAA) and intraocular pressure (IOP). METHODS A cross-sectional study of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), with or without nasal polyposis, managed with daily nasal budesonide via MAD was conducted at a tertiary rhinology center. Patients using systemic steroids within 3 months of assessment were excluded. HPAA impact was assessed using the cosyntropin stimulation test for adrenal function and a survey of relevant symptomatology. Patients also underwent tonometry to assess for elevated IOP potentially related to corticosteroid use. RESULTS A total of 100 CRS patients were recruited with a mean budesonide treatment duration of 23.5 months (range, 6-37 months). Stimulated cortisol response was diminished in 3 patients (3%). No patients with adrenal suppression had relevant symptomatology. IOP was elevated in 6 patients (6%). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that there is a risk of adrenal suppression and raised IOP associated with the long-term use of topical nasal budesonide via MAD. Otolaryngologists should consider periodic surveillance for these adverse events in this patient cohort.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a challenging disease entity, affecting 8-15% of the general population. Topical steroids have been recommended as an integral part of the strategy for management of CRS. This review focuses on steroid transnasal nebulization as an alternative treatment option for CRS treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Modern inhalation devices comprise nebulizers, pressurized metered-dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers. Transnasal nebulization with pulsating flow can enhance sinus ventilation and increase drug deposition with longer residence time. Short-term steroid transnasal nebulization provides an effective and safe treatment option for CRS patients, as evidenced by significant clinically relevant improvements and lack of serious side-effects. The underlying mechanisms involve a combination of reduction in inflammatory cells, suppression of inflammatory cell-associated cytokines and chemotactic factors, and regulation of tissue remodeling. Efficacy of transnasal nebulization outweighs commonly used nasal sprays and nasal irrigation as delivery options for topical steroids; however, long-term safety with nebulized steroids needs to be investigated further. SUMMARY Steroid transnasal nebulization offers an alternative or a complementary treatment option to nasal sprays and nasal irrigation for management of patients with CRS. Long-term dose-dependent studies with nebulized steroids will be needed to fully appreciate the benefits of this treatment modality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects millions of patients worldwide. The disease is multifactorial with influences including anatomic factors, immunological disturbances, and altered sinonasal microbiome. Although oral medications are effective in controlling some symptoms, they are associated with side effects and long-term use is not ideal. Thus, topical therapies have emerged as an alternative delivery method for localized, high-concentration medication with less side effects. Areas covered: This is a review of the various topical therapies available or under investigation for the management of CRS. Common medications such as saline, steroids, and antimicrobials will be discussed. Furthermore, additives including manuka honey, xylitol, surfactant, N-chlorotaurine, Dead Sea salt, and sodium hyaluronate will be addressed. Innovations in topical therapies, such as drug-eluting biomaterials and photodynamic therapy, will also be reviewed. Expert opinion: Although topical therapies provide a high dose of active substance at the site of disease, their efficacy in CRS is not clear. Topical saline and intranasal steroids appear to consistently demonstrate therapeutic benefits. However, other topical medications require further investigation to determine long-term clinical efficacy and safety. A better understanding of their effects on the sinonasal mucociliary system is needed before they become the standard of care in CRS.

Abstract
Objectives Budesonide nasal irrigation was introduced recently for postoperative management of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. The safety and therapeutic effectiveness of this procedure is becoming accepted by many physicians. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative steroid irrigation in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma. Methods This prospective study involved 12 chronic rhinosinusitis patients with nasal polyps and asthma who received oral steroid treatment for recurring or worsening disease. The 22-item Sinonasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-22) and Lund-Kennedy endoscopy scores were checked before nasal budesonide irrigation, and 1, 2, 4, and 6 months after irrigation. We also calculated the total amount of oral steroids and inhaled steroids in the 6 months before irrigation and the 6 months after it. Results The mean SNOT-22 score improved from 30.8±14.4 before irrigation to 14.2±8.7 after 6 months of irrigation (P=0.030). The endoscopy score also improved from 7.4±4.7 before irrigation to 2.2±2.7 after 6 months (P<0.001). The total amount of oral steroid was decreased from 397.8±97.6 mg over the 6 months before irrigation to 72.7±99.7 mg over the 6 months after irrigation (P<0.001). Conclusion Nasal irrigation with budesonide is an effective postoperative treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with asthma, which recurs frequently, reducing the oral steroid intake.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal steroids are a critical part of the management of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Increasingly, practitioners are using budesonide respules delivered to the sinonasal cavities, which is an off-label use, in lieu of traditional nasal steroids. There has been little research comparing budesonide with traditional nasal steroids and the most effective delivery method of budesonide. METHODS A randomized controlled trial was performed on patients after ESS for CRSwNP in a tertiary care center. Patients were randomized into 1 of 3 groups: group A received fluticasone nasal spray twice daily; group B received budesonide respules via a mucosal atomization device (MAD) twice daily; and group C received budesonide respules instilled via the vertex-to-floor (VF) position twice daily. Primary endpoints were 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and Lund-Kennedy scores at 6 months. RESULTS Thirty-two patients were enrolled in the study, 23 of whom completed the 6-month trial. There were no significant differences among groups A, B, and C with respect to age, gender, asthma, aspirin sensitivity, or previous ESS. Group B had a statistically significant greater reduction in SNOT-22 and Lund-Kennedy scores at the primary endpoint of 6 months compared to groups A and C. Group C had the next greatest reduction, which was statistically significant, followed by group A. CONCLUSION Patients treated with budesonide after ESS for CRSwNP had greater improvement in SNOT-22 and Lund-Kennedy scores compared to fluticasone at 6 months. The data supports the use of budesonide respules, particularly with a MAD, over fluticasone for CRSwNP patients after ESS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to estimate pooled percentages of patients with adrenal insufficiency after treatment with corticosteroids for various conditions in a meta-analysis. Secondly, we aimed to stratify the results by route of administration, disease, treatment dose, and duration. METHODS We searched seven electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, COCHRANE, CENTRAL, Web of Science, and CINAHL/Academic Search Premier) in February 2014 to identify potentially relevant studies. Original articles testing adult corticosteroid users for adrenal insufficiency were eligible. RESULTS We included 74 articles with a total of 3753 participants. Stratified by administration form, percentages of patients with adrenal insufficiency ranged from 4.2% for nasal administration (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.5-28.9) to 52.2% for intra-articular administration (95% CI, 40.5-63.6). Stratified by disease, percentages ranged from 6.8% for asthma with inhalation corticosteroids only (95% CI, 3.8-12.0) to 60.0% for hematological malignancies (95% CI, 38.0-78.6). The risk also varied according to dose from 2.4% (95% CI, 0.6-9.3) (low dose) to 21.5% (95% CI, 12.0-35.5) (high dose), and according to treatment duration from 1.4% (95% CI, 0.3-7.4) (<28 d) to 27.4% (95% CI, 17.7-39.8) (>1 year) in asthma patients. CONCLUSIONS 1) Adrenal insufficiency after discontinuation of glucocorticoid occurs frequently; 2) there is no administration form, dosing, treatment duration, or underlying disease for which adrenal insufficiency can be excluded with certainty, although higher dose and longer use give the highest risk; 3) the threshold to test corticosteroid users for adrenal insufficiency should be low in clinical practice, especially for those patients with nonspecific symptoms after cessation.
