Immune response in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is mainly via type 2 T-helper (Th2) cells while Th1 cells characterise chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) immune response. CRSwNP is heterogeneous on a cytological level causing a varied response...

Authors used clinical features such as endoscopic findings scores and full blood count findings in addition to analysis of 35 molecular markers....Matthew Clark: full-time otologist, spare-time sculptor
Drilling a temporal bone may seem like torture to some trainee surgeons. To others it is but a stepping stone to something altogether grander... I took Art A-level a year early so as not to interfere with the ‘important subjects’,...
‘Cutting-edge’ surgical education: exploring the SurgSchool App
