[4] [5] She developed the Lund-Mackay score that can be used to assess extent of rhinosinusitis on endoscopy, imaging and surgery which is used internationally. [6] She has been a co-chair of the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS2005-2020), Editor of 'Rhinology' (1999-2014) and general secretary of European ...
For all participants, computed tomographs (CTs) of the nasal sinuses had been recorded that confirmed the diagnosis and documented the course of the disease, especially by means of a CT score (Lund-Mackay score). Prior to the beginning of the treatment, this scope averaged approximately 9 points in both groups.
Aerosinusitis, also called barosinusitis, sinus squeeze or sinus barotrauma is a painful inflammation and sometimes bleeding of the membrane of the paranasal sinus cavities, normally the frontal sinus.
The Lund and Browder chart is a tool useful in the management of burns for estimating the total body surface area affected. It was created by Dr. Charles Lund, Senior Surgeon at Boston City Hospital , and Dr. Newton Browder, based on their experiences in treating over 300 burn victims injured at the Cocoanut Grove fire in Boston in 1942.
The maxillary hiatus (also known as maxillary sinus ostium, maxillary ostium, or opening from the maxillary sinus) [citation needed] is the opening of a maxillary sinus into the middle nasal meatus of the nasal cavity.
The superior sagittal sinus (also known as the superior longitudinal sinus), within the human head, is an unpaired dural venous sinus lying along the attached margin of the falx cerebri. It allows blood to drain from the lateral aspects of the anterior cerebral hemispheres to the confluence of sinuses .
The ethmoid sinuses or ethmoid air cells of the ethmoid bone are one of the four paired paranasal sinuses. [1] Unlike the other three pairs of paranasal sinuses which consist of one or two large cavities, the ethmoidal sinuses entail a number of small air-filled cavities ("air cells"). [2]
The straight sinus is situated within the dura mater, where the falx cerebri meets the midline of tentorium cerebelli. [1] It forms from the confluence of the inferior sagittal sinus and the great cerebral vein. [1] [2] It may also drain blood from the superior cerebellar veins and veins from the falx cerebri. [1]
