Surgery to relieve nasal obstruction: outcome for 366 patients operated on by one senior surgeon.

Background: Studies of patient-rated outcome in septoplasty and turbinoplasty most frequently involve several surgeons with varying surgical skills, techniques and experience. The aim of the present study was to evaluate outcome based on one experienced surgeon.

Methods: Three hundred and sixty-six consecutive patients referred for nasal obstruction were included.

Prognostic factors for outcome after septoplasty in 888 patients from the Swedish National Septoplasty Register.

Background: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of outcome after septoplasty in 888 patients from the Swedish National Septoplasty Register.

Methodology: This is an observational register study analysing data from patients undergoing septoplasty in Sweden between 2015 and 2016. The patients reported severity of nasal obstruction (mild, moderate, severe) pre- and again 12 months postoperatively (none, mild, moderate, severe), unplanned visits within 30 days after surgery.

Diagnostic yield and complications of transthoracic computed tomography-guided biopsies.

Introduction: The widespread use of computed tomography (CT) improves detection of pulmonary lesions, which are not only detected at an increased rate but also at a smaller size. CT-guided lung biopsies are now more frequently used than fluoroscopy-guided lung biopsies. The main aim of the present paper was to investigate the outcome and complications of the biopsies.

[Chronic cough in children].

Cough in children is a common problem of various aetiologies. In the presence of specific findings diagnostics may be easy, but often the symptoms are few and unclear. Management involves specific diagnosing and it should be considered if the cough is acute, prolonged or chronic.
