This review and meta-analysis included 34 studies covering 1762 patients, and investigated the efficacy of 4 varieties of dietary treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Such cases of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are rare, but they can be treated with the typical therapies for EoE.

Known to be a contributing factor to polyp development at high levels, periostin’s potential as a biomarker for eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) severity was investigated in a new study in which outcomes were compared between patients who had ECRS and those with non-ECRS.

Outcomes were investigated among 541 patients who had chronic rhinosinusitis; they accounted for 435 primary surgeries and 106 revisionist surgeries.

Although it is well studied in adult patients, there is a lack of research on eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) among pediatric patients; a recent study aimed to add to the clinical knowledge of EGIDs in younger patients.

The utility of and adherence to follow-up exams for potential recurrence of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) was investigated among 60 patients who had undergone functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Disease outcomes in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) that related to inflammation and endotype specification were goals in this new study that evaluated the biomarker potential of S100A4.

Levels of certain biomarkers of inflammation in prurigo nodularis were evaluated between patients with and without the chronic inflammatory skin disorder, with the goal of showing potential for precision medicine in prurigo nodularis.

With previous research showing that having a history of infection can lead to loss of autoimmunity, Swedish researchers set out to investigate a potential link between prior infection and development of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

This year’s top 5 most-viewed videos include topics on eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), cancer screening awareness, and racial/ethnic and socioeconomic barriers to care.

Nasal polyp development, treatment, and recurrence were topics up for discussion in this year’s most popular nasal polyps–related content.

The biomarker potential of Charcot-Leyden crystals in nasal tissue was investigated over 2 years in 110 patients with diagnosed chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

This study was prompted by recent findings that ultra-low IgE levels (IgE <2.5 kU/L) may be linked with a higher risk of cancers.

The most-viewed eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) content of the year covered new developments in treatment options for EoE, the prevalence of EoE in the allergic disease population, and the impact of EoE on a child’s well-being.

This new study, which followed patients up to 6 months after functional endoscopic sinus surgery, evaluated results using objective and subjective measures.

Though a large proportion of patients receiving oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergy report gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, a knowledge gap remains for the best approach to determine the underlying etiology and manage symptoms.

Based on their retrospective findings, the researchers suggest the diet is a potentially effective option for these patients who may face challenges with other elimination diets.

Patients with asthma who were with or without a diagnosis of nasal polyps were found to have results with long-term dupilumab.

The investigators of this study compared outcomes between patients who had eosinophilic or noneosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) by comparing the influence of body mass index (BMI) on each disease subtype.

Researchers investigated subgroups of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis (CRSwNP), wanting more data on their responses to dupilumab and hoping to stratify their level of benefit.

The findings mean that scarring in the esophagus as a result of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) can be found earlier, allowing for more targeted intervention.

This new study explored how expression of SERPINB10 may be related to postoperative recurrence of and inflammation related to chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

An article published in the journal Gastroenterology & Hepatology highlights recent updates to eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease nomenclature, as well as updates related to diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment standards.

The study findings suggest that eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), like other atopic diseases, may be associated with infections.

The investigators of this new study wanted to more clearly define the patient characteristics of the 2 main types of chronic rhinosinusitis: with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and without nasal polyps (CRSsNP).

The investigators of a new study evaluated if nasal cytology was a reliable method to identify type 2 inflammation in patients who have chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), which could then facilitate patient selection for biological drug utilization via endotypization.

A significant uptick in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) among patients with comorbid asthma has been seen in the country over the past decade.

The findings follow recent data suggesting that esophageal dysmotility may be associated with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), which often presents with dysphagia.

The study, say researchers, adds insight into risk factors predictive of response to dietary intervention for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), as dietary failure occurs in up to 30% of patients.

The index for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) was crafted based on a literature review by a multidisciplinary team of experts.
