“…After further removal of non‐English and noncase studies, 78 articles remained. After a full‐text article review, 55 case reports and five case series (122 patients) published between 2004 and 2020 were included in this systematic review 1‐60 . Characteristics of the studies are summarized in Table 1.…”

Objective This study reviews the presentation, management, and outcomes of patients with rhinolithiasis. Data Sources An electronic database search of PubMed, SCOPUS, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library was performed in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 updated guidelines for reporting systematic reviews. Review Methods Case reports and case series published from 2004 to 2020 were included. Data collected included patient demographics, clinical symptoms at presentation, diagnosis, treatment, complications, and follow‐up. Relevant descriptive statistics were computed using Microsoft Excel 2013 (Microsoft Corp). Results Fifty‐five case reports and five case series were included (n = 122). The majority were female (60.7%). The mean age was 29.4 years (range, 4‐80 years). The most common symptoms were rhinorrhea (81.1%), nasal obstruction (79.5%), nasal malodor (38.5%), and headache (27.9%). Computed tomography imaging was obtained in 109 (91.5%) cases. Concurrent rhinosinusitis (35.2%) and deviated nasal septum (28.7%) were commonly identified. Rhinoliths were commonly found in the right nostril (52.5%) and in between the inferior turbinate and nasal septum (26.9%). All rhinoliths were fully excised using endoscopic sinonasal surgery, accompanied by a septoplasty (9.2%). The nidus was identified in 27 (22.2%) patients. There were no recurrences or complications over an average follow‐up of 8.5 months (range, 0.25‐36 months). Conclusion Rhinolithiasis is an uncommon entity of the nasal cavity and should be suspected in patients with long‐standing unilateral nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, and nasal malodor. Rigid nasal endoscopy and endoscopic sinonasal surgery are the most important methods for diagnosis and treatment, respectively.

“…However, the homologues produced by its hydrolysis can enhance its toxicity. Mohebbi et al used cyclic voltammetry (CV) to electrodeposit the synthesized g-C3N4 onto a carbon paste electrode (CPE), and used dip coating technology to electropolymerize OPD [9]. Finally, functionalized the g-C3N4/POPD nanocomposite with EDTA, and modified the surface of CPE using this nanocomposite material to prepare a high-performance melamine electrochemical sensor.…”

Food safety is related to everyone's health and life, so it is crucial to establish appropriate food systems and infrastructure, and develop efficient instruments for detecting food contaminants. Nowadays, many advanced detection technologies have emerged, playing a huge role in food safety testing, such as chromatographic analysis, spectral analysis, and electrochemical analysis. Among them, electrochemical biosensors have the advantages of superior selectivity, high sensitivity, convenient operation, low cost, and fast response, which are expected to develop into portable instruments for on-site rapid detection. Significant progress has been made in the electrochemical detection of food contaminants through the combination of nanotechnology and intelligent technology in recent years. This research summarizes the advancement of electrochemical biosensing technology for the detection of pesticides, heavy metals, illegal additives and mycotoxin by discussing the analytes, electrode materials, modification techniques, methods and detection limits for electrochemistry. Finally, the future development trends of the technology are discussed.
