Dr. Ray O’Connor discusses recent clinical studies on chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma. Nasal irrigation with saline solutions is a common treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis. Studies show that large-volume saline irrigation with a hypertonic solution may be beneficial. Asthma diagnosis is complex and can lead to over- or underdiagnosis, impacting quality of life and treatment costs. Asthma management has evolved to focus on individualized treatment with disease-modifying drugs. Comorbidities like allergic rhinitis and COPD are strongly associated with asthma and may affect symptom control. Asthma in pregnancy poses risks but can be managed with safe pharmacotherapy. Research is ongoing to improve diagnosis and management strategies for asthma.
