Smell training is also effective in older patients
Olfactory loss is a common problem with a significant impact on quality of life. It has been demonstrated that olfactory training (OT) improves olfactory function in younger patients, but this study focuses in on patients aged 45 years and older....
A classification of a new cell - the retrosphenoid cell

Measuring is understanding: an unsupervised PROM clustering of CRS patients
It has been clear for quite some years, at least for anyone dealing daily with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients, that CRS is an ‘umbrella’ diagnosis. There are significant differences between patients, including different demographic data, different endoscopic and radiographic images,...Rhinology Issue I
