Patients with rhinitis and rhinosinusitis are commonly treated in otolaryngologists' offices. Many of these patients have concurrent lower respiratory diseases such as asthma. The simultaneous presence of upper and lower airway diseases occurs frequently, and has resulted in the unified airway model, which describes the close relationships between these inflammatory diseases. Understanding the coexistence of respiratory illnesses has implications for the diagnosis and management of both upper and lower airway conditions. It is important for otolaryngologists and otolaryngology nurses to be aware of these common comorbid processes, and to evaluate for the presence of asthma in all patients with upper airway conditions such as rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. This paper will discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, mechanisms, and diagnosis and treatment considerations in patients with unified airway diseases.

Nurses must intervene to provide evidence-based supportive care and symptom management for cancer patients. Oral mucositis, a distressing side effect of cancer treatment, is both a research and clinical priority. Nurses can lead improvements with evidence-based oral mucositis interventions. This article describes application of evidence-based clinical recommendations for oral mucositis across diverse patient populations.

This is a synopsis of the presentation delivered at the Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head-Neck Nurses' Annual Congress and Nursing Symposium, September 11, 2012 in Washington, DC. We all have imperfections in our faces and bodies that we would like to change. Consider, though, the cancer patient or the trauma victim who must deal with a facial disfigurement that completely changes their appearance, and often, their ability to function normally. Anaplastology, which combines art and science through creativity and functionality, can make monumental improvements in the quality of a person's life by giving acceptable appearance back to the patient. Custom-made appliances and prosthetic creations can bring hope and confidence back to the patient. Individualized adaptations can make the prosthetic a true work of art. Nurses work closely with patients who are benefitting from this creative process. Arriving at a successful and pleasing outcome is extremely satisfying for the entire team, the patient and family.

Work-related airway symptoms are very common. Occupational asthma may be present in up to 11 million American workers, and many more may also have occupational rhinitis. These illnesses can be related to both allergic and non-allergic mechanisms, and can be difficult to characterize and diagnose. A multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management is important to optimize recognition and treatment of these complex patients. The ORL nurse plays a key role in the workup and management of patients with work-related airway diseases.
