    Background: The 5 years since the publication of the first International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis (ICAR‐RS) has witnessed foundational progress in our understanding and treatment of rhinologic disease. These advances are reflected within the more than 40 new topics covered within the ICAR‐RS‐2021 as well as updates to the original 140 topics. This executive summary consolidates the evidence‐based findings of the document. Methods: ICAR‐RS presents over 180 topics in the forms of evidence‐based reviews with recommendations (EBRRs), evidence‐based reviews, and literature reviews. The highest grade structured recommendations of the EBRR sections are summarized in this executive summary. Results: ICAR‐RS‐2021 covers 22 topics regarding the medical management of RS, which are grade A/B and are presented in the executive summary. Additionally, 4 topics regarding the surgical management of RS are grade A/B and are presented in the executive summary. Finally, a comprehensive evidence‐based management algorithm is provided. Conclusion: This ICAR‐RS‐2021 executive summary provides a compilation of the evidence‐based recommendations for medical and surgical treatment of the most common forms of RS

    Verificação da eficiĂȘncia da abordagem terapĂȘutica miofuncional em casos de desvio fonolĂłgico, fonĂ©tico e fonĂ©tico-fonolĂłgico Efficiency of myofunctional therapy in cases of phonological, phonetic and phonetic-phonological disorders

    TEMA: o tema desta pesquisa Ă© o uso da terapia miofuncional em casos de desvios fonĂ©tico e/ou fonolĂłgicos. PROCEDIMENTOS: foram incluĂ­dos sujeitos, de ambos os sexos, com idades entre seis e 13 anos, que apresentassem desvio fonĂ©tico-fonolĂłgico, e alteraçÔes do sistema estomatognĂĄtico, com idade mĂ­nima de quatro anos. Considerou-se como critĂ©rio de exclusĂŁo a presença de malformaçÔes, sĂ­ndromes genĂ©ticas, suspeita de alteraçÔes neurolĂłgicas, dĂ©ficit cognitivo ou psicolĂłgico, perda auditiva, diagnĂłstico de atraso de linguagem, terapia fonoaudiolĂłgica anterior, e alteraçÔes oclusais. Realizou-se anamnese, avaliação do sistema estomatognĂĄtico, exame articulatĂłrio, triagem auditiva e avaliação otorrinolaringolĂłgica. Com os sujeitos selecionados, foram realizados dois atendimentos semanais, de terapia miofuncional. Realizaram-se sondagens a cada oito sessĂ”es de atendimento. Foram comparados o nĂșmero de fones/fonemas da fala e estruturas/aspectos do sistema estomatognĂĄtico alterados antes e depois da terapia miofuncional, comparação entre os sujeitos em relação ao tempo de terapia de acordo com a alteração de fala apresentada, comparação entre os grupos quanto ao nĂșmero de fones/fonemas e aspectos os sistema estomatognĂĄtico alterados antes e depois da terapia miofuncional. RESULTADOS: os sujeitos com desvio fonolĂłgico apresentavam entre um e quatro fonemas alterados, os sujeitos com desvio fonĂ©tico apresentavam um fone alterados; jĂĄ os sujeitos com desvio fonĂ©tico-fonolĂłgico apresentavam cinco e seis fones/fonemas alterados, respectivamente. Os casos de desvio fonolĂłgico e fonĂ©tico tiveram a fala adequada. Um dos sujeitos com desvio fonĂ©tico-fonolĂłgico teve a fala adequada, e o outro permaneceu com um fone alterado. CONCLUSÃO: a terapia miofuncional demonstrou-se eficiente em casos de desvios fonĂ©tico e/ou fonolĂłgicos.<br>BACKGROUND:the use of myofunctional therapy in cases of phonetic and/or phonological disorders. PROCEDURES: we included subjects being six and 13 year old, both genders, with phonetic and/or phonological disorders, and stomatognathic system alterations. We considered an exclusion criterion the presence of malformations, genetic syndromes, suspected neurological, psychological or cognitive impairment, hearing loss, diagnosis of language delay, speech therapy before, and malocclusion. Were held anamnesis, evaluation of the stomatognathic system, articulatory examination, hearing screening and othorrinolaringological evaluation. We held two therapy weekly. Surveys were carried out every eight sections. We analyzed the comparison between the number of speech sounds and features/structures of the stomatognathic system alterations before and after such therapy, and also the comparison between subjects in relation to length of therapy according to the found speech disorder. RESULTS: the subjects with phonological disorder showed between one and four alerted phonemes, the subjects with a phonetic deviation showed one altered phoneme, but the subjects with a phonetic-phonological deviation had five to six altered phones/phonemes, respectively. The cases of phonological and phonetic deviation had proper speech. One of the subjects with a phonetic-phonological deviation had proper speech, and the other showed an altered phone. CONCLUSION: myofunctional therapy was efficient in cases of phonetic and/or phonological deviations

    A retrospective study was performed in order to evaluate the frequency of abnormalities found by computed tomography (CT) scan of the head in 78 patients with migraine or tension-type headache. In the present study CT scan was normal in 61.5% of the patients with migraine or tension-type headache. A number of abnormalities were encountered in more than one third of the patients studied, including inflammatory sinus disease (19.2%), cysticercosis (3.9%), unruptuted cerebral aneurysm (2.6%), basilar impression (2.6%), intracranial lipoma (2.6%), arachnoid cyst (2.6%), empty sella (2.6%), intracranial neoplasm (2.6%), and others (2.6%). None of these lesions were symptomatic or responsible by the headache picture, therefore, considered incidental findings. In conclusion, the fortuitous encounter of some abnormalities on CT scan of the head is often higher than what we could predict in patients suffering migraine or tension-type headache. We briefly discuss clinical, epidemiologic, and practical management of some of the abnormalities detected by CT scan as well as the indication to request a neuroimaging investigation.<br>Um estudo retrospectivo foi realizado visando avaliar a frequĂȘncia de anormalidades encontradas durante a realização de estudo por tomografia computadorizada (TC) em 78 pacientes com migrĂąnea ou cefalĂ©ia do tipo tensional. A TC foi normal em 61,5% dos pacientes examinados. Em um terço dos pacientes estudados foram detectadas anormalidades, como doença inflamatĂłria dos seios paranasais (19,2%), cisticercose (3,9%), aneurisma cerebral nĂŁo-roto (2,6%), impressĂŁo basilar (2,6%), lipoma intracraniano (2,6%), cisto aracnoideo (2,6%), sela vazia (2,6%), neoplasia intracraniana (2,6%) e outras afecçÔes (2,6%). Nenhuma destas lesĂ”es era sintomĂĄtica (achado incidental). Concluindo, o encontro fortuito de algumas anormalidades na TC Ă© frequentemente mais elevado do que se prediz em pacientes com cefalĂ©ia primĂĄria. NĂłs discutimos brevemente alguns aspectos clĂ­nicos, epidemiolĂłgicos e da conduta terapĂȘutica-cirĂșrgica sobre algumas das anomalias diagnosticadas pela TC. TambĂ©m levantamos, ou questionamos, aspectos Ă©ticos que determinam o limite entre o direito do paciente e o direito do mĂ©dico em afirmar que um indivĂ­duo com dor de cabeça nĂŁo Ă© portador de lesĂŁo intracraniana, baseado na histĂłria clĂ­nica e no exame fĂ­sico do paciente
