Sinonasal Tissue Remodelling during Chronic Rhinosinusitis

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Sinonasal Tissue Remodelling during Chronic Rhinosinusitis Via International Journal of Otolaryngology The purpose of this review is to summarise contemporary knowledge of sinonasal tissue remodelling during chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), a chronic disease involving long-term inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and nasal passage. The concept of tissue remodelling has significant clinical relevance because of its potential to cause irreversibility in chronic airway tissues. Recent studies have indicated that early surgical treatment of CRS may improve clinical outcome. Tissue remodelling has been described in the literature extensively with no consensus on how remodelling is defined. This review describes various factors implicated in establishing remodelling in sinonasal tissues with a special mention of asthma as a comorbid condition. Some of the main histological features of remodelling i nclude basement membrane thickening and collagen modulation. This may be an avenue of research with regard to targeted therapy against remodelling in CRS. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
