Titolo: Treatment of chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory airways by inalation thermal therapy with sulfur-sulfate-bicarbonate-alkaline earth mineral water: a study of nasal cytology
Descrizione: The purpose of the paper is better characterise changes occurred in nose cytology in a group of 50 subjects by chronic inflammation of upper respiratory airway. The patients were random shared in two groups:group A 40 subjects treated using sulphurous thermal water and a group B(control), 10 cases, treated using placebo saline solution. The post-therapy evaluation of nasal cytology showed an improvement of the chronic inflammation in 65% of group A patients (diminution of bacterial dust 65%, diminution of PMN cells in 60% of cases and disappearance of abserved a increase of plasma-cell number much more in group A. The author conclusion is that a period of thermal therapy using sulphur-sulphate-alkaline-earth metals water in cronic inflammation of the nose.
