Sinusitis and Rhinosinusitis
General Information
NEWS:
Chronic Rhinosinusitis Gateway to Other Illnesses “A new study suggests patients who suffer from CRS also tend to suffer from asthma, arthritis and asthma-like illnesses. Researchers studied 1,970,695 patients to determine if such a relationship existed. The analysis shows an especially high incidence of CRS in patients with asthma, who are also more likely to have nasal polyps. Researchers also noted that patients with high blood pressure and arthritis have high incidences of chronic sinusitis. Results of the study suggest these chronic illnesses and chronic rhinosinusitis may share certain mechanisms that influence how they arise or progress.”

Effectiveness of honey on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. (Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2009) “RESULTS: Honey was effective in killing 100 percent of the isolates in the planktonic form. The bactericidal rates for the Sidr and Manuka honeys against MSSA, MRSA, and PA biofilms were 63-82 percent, 73-63 percent, and 91-91 percent, respectively. These rates were significantly higher (P < 0.001) than those seen with single antibiotics commonly used against SA.”
