The Effects of Nasal and Multi‐Level Upper Airway Surgery on Upper Airway Collapsibility and Non‐Anatomical Endotypes in People With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea—A Pilot Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nasal breathing is the preferred route of breathing during sleep. Indeed, nasal blockage can cause obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in otherwise healthy people. Whilst multi‐level pharyngeal surgery reduces OSA severity, efficacy varies and changes in OSA pathophysiology post‐surgery have not been well characterised.

An Arthroscopic Technique for Hybrid Double‐Row Repair Using a Cancellous Screw and Washer for Enhanced Lateral‐Row Fixation in Osteoporotic Massive Rotator Cuff Tears With Long‐Head Biceps Augmentation

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Massive rotator cuff tears in osteoporotic bone often fail because of many factors, including poor anchor fixation. We present an arthroscopic hybrid double‐row repair technique using a unicortical cancellous screw and washer for lateral‐row fixation, combined with biceps superior capsular reconstruction.
