Unique Features of Nasal Airway and Airflow Improvement Post‐Dupilumab: A Computational Cohort Study
The impact of dupilumab on nasal airway patency and airflow is not uniform. It is more pronounced in the middle and superior, but not inferior meatus. These unique regional changes significantly correlate with and potentially drive the improvement in patient symptoms.

Race and Ethnicity Affect Symptom and Endoscopy Associations in CT‐Confirmed Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Among adults with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) symptoms, hyposmia, and higher Lund–Kennedy endoscopy scores were associated with CT‐confirmed CRS overall, though these associations were not significant among Asian and Hispanic patients. Symptoms alone had limited predictive value when nasal endoscopy was negative, suggesting that the diagnostic utility

Utility of Preoperative Cardiac Workup for Children With Very Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea
In this retrospective study, we aimed to examine the prevalence and utility of obtaining a preoperative cardiac workup in children with very severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) prior to adenotonsillectomy. Of 144 patients with very severe OSA, 38 patients (26.4%) underwent a preoperative cardiac workup, and three of those 38 had abnormal findings ...

Superior Labial Artery Flap for Septal Perforation Repair: The Boxer's Flap
The nasal floor flap, or Boxer's flap, is an anteriorly pedicled, superior labial artery–based mucosal flap that provides excellent closure rates in septal perforation repair when traditional septal flaps are not feasible. The schematic shows: (A) preoperative perforation, (B) nasal floor flap elevation (with the pedicle maintained at the inferior ...

Success of Anterior Ethmoidal Artery Flaps for Nasal Septal Perforation Repair: A Systematic Review
Nasal septal perforation (NSP) repair using the anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap is an emerging endoscopic technique with an overall closure success rate of 84.6%. The AEA flap is a reliable endoscopic technique for repairing NSPs < 2.5 cm. Emerging AEA flap modifications may further improve outcomes, while enabling repair of larger perforations ...

The Musculoskeletal Consequences of Mouth Breathing in Adults: A Systematic Review
Chronic mouth breathing can have a negative impact on posture, cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), reduced masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, and suprahyoid muscle overuse. Postural changes include a head forward posture and increased lumbar lordosis.
