Abstract

The contact Nd:YAG laser technique in endonasal surgery is presented as a new therapeutic tool. The clinical experience in cases with recurrent polyposis is presented. The therapeutic results are evaluated. Although patients with nasal polyposis remain to be treated on an individual basis, due to the multifactorial etiopathogenesis of this disorder, the initial results with this new surgical procedure are promising.

[Bronchial asthma and sports].

Physical exercise can induce an acute attack in most asthmatics. Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) is therefore a common clinical presentation of bronchial asthma. EIA is likely a consequence of bronchial hyperreactivity whereby alterations in bronchial osmolarity, heat-loss by hyperventilation and physical activity per se are discussed as pathogenic triggers. Clinical presentation, pathogenesis and diagnosis of exercise-induced asthma are summarized. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic possibilities are covered in some depth. In this context the value of sports-therapy in treatment of asthma is redefined. The possibilities and limitations for this form of treatment are explained.
