An indirect comparative analysis of two posterior nasal nerve ablation techniques for treating chronic rhinitis: A systemic review and meta-analysis

Do Hyun Kim, Soo Whan Kim, Sung Won Kim, Gulnaz Stybayeva, Se Hwan Hwang

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the effects of cryotherapy and radiofrequency neurolysis in treating rhinitis-related symptoms caused by ablation of the posterior nasal nerves. The results showed that both cryotherapy and radiofrequency neurolysis significantly improved rhinitis-related symptoms and quality of life. Radiofrequency neurolysis was found to be more effective than cryotherapy in reducing total nasal symptom scores.

Postmeningitic pediatric hearing loss from non-type b Haemophilus influenzae

Brian W. Herrmann, Salina H. Goff, Juri Boguniewicz, Sarah A. Gitomer

Summary: This retrospective case series analyzed nHiB H. influenzae meningitis cases diagnosed at Children's Hospital Colorado from 2000 to 2020. The results showed that nHiB H. influenzae can cause both transient and permanent postmeningitic hearing loss. The use of steroids may offer otoprotection in nHiB H. influenzae meningitis. Further research is needed to better understand hearing outcomes after nHiB H. influenzae meningitis.
