Contemporary presentation and management of a spectrum of mastoid abscesses
TL;DR: The incidence of complications resulting from suppurative otitis media has significantly decreased since the introduction of antibiotics, but interestingly, this has incidence increased; today nearly 50% of patients diagnosed with coalescent mastoiditis have subperiosteal abscess.

Acoustic rhinometry predicts tolerance of nasal continuous positive airway pressure: a pilot study
Luc G. T. Morris,Jennifer Setlur,Omar Burschtin,David L. Steward,Joseph B. Jacobs,Kelvin C. Lee +5 more
TL;DR: Nal airway obstruction correlated with CPAP tolerance, supporting an important role for the nose in CPAP, and providing a physiological basis for improved CPAP compliance after nasal surgery is examined.

Nasal obstruction and sleep-disordered breathing: a study using acoustic rhinometry.
TL;DR: Nal airway function may be a significant component of SDB in some patients, perhaps playing a larger role in patients who are not overweight, and the best responders to nasal surgery for SDB may be nonoverweight patients with nasal obstruction.

TL;DR: Ionized field ablation subtotal tonsillectomy may offer an alternative to traditional subcapsular tonsillar surgery with a decreased incidence of postoperative complications.

Nontraumatic nasal septal abscesses in the immunocompromised: etiology, recognition, treatment, and sequelae.
TL;DR: A review of nasal septal abscesses in five immunocompromised patients without history of nasal trauma illustrates the wide spectrum of disease presentation, provides treatment strategies, and emphasizes the potentially catastrophic sequelae of this disease when unrecognized.
