Welcome to the latest edition of the Newsletter of the American Rhinologic Society: Nose News!
With this issue comes a changing of the guard for the Newsletter. J. David Osguthorpe, MD who has so ably served the Newsletter as editor for the last several years has now passed the torch on to me. IĠd like to thank him for the foundation that he has provided me taking over as editor, creating a newsletter that is not only widely circulated but also widely read.
My goals with this newsletter are to inform, update, and stimulate. First, we are a resource for the activities of the American Rhinologic Society. As such, we will strive to provide timely information regarding ARS activities and meetings. To this end, you will find a calendar of upcoming activities and meetings in each issue.
Second, we hope to inform you of rhinologic issues both within and beyond the activities of the ARS. Within the ARS this will include regular updates from the chairmen of various committees and officers of the society. Outside the ARS, we will present updates from the Paranasal Sinuses Committee of the AAO/HNS as well as from the Sinus and Allergy Health Partnership.
And finally, we wish to stimulate you with regard to various technical (both surgical and medical) issues involved with management of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Whether it is MIST vs. FESS, the role of stereotactic CT guidance, middle turbinate resection vs. preservation, the field of rhinology has its share of controversy and we hope to stir things up a bit with timely, informed, lively discussions. We will accomplish this through our "Case of the Quarter" and "Point of View" columns wherein individuals will have an opportunity to debate current topics in rhinology.
Most importantly, we want your input. We look forward to comments and suggestions as to how to make Nose News more meaningful and useful to you, our readers. Our email is newsletter@american-rhinologic.org. And be sure to check out the ARS webpage www.american-rhinologic.org for an online version of the newsletter combined with timely and up-to-date additions.
