Placing cartilage graft at the nasal tip is the most frequent technique to achieve proper tip projection and a well-balanced nose. The graft functions to support the nasal tip though reconstruction of the tripod concept legs and add greater definition to the tip. Tip grafts can be broadly classified into two categories: those that are used as mechanical nasal tip support, and those that are used for contouring or enchantment of nasal tip projection. This classification offers guidance to select the type of tip graft needed of overcome the present anatomy deformity.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications following general anesthesia, particularly in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries. This study aims to evaluate the effect of intraoperative noise isolation on PONV incidence.
Method: This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial will enroll 192 adult patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.

Adenoid hypertrophy, characterized by the abnormal enlargement of adenoid tissue, is a condition that can cause significant breathing and sleep disturbances, particularly in children. Accurate diagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy is critical, yet traditional methods, such as imaging and manual interpretation, are prone to errors. This study uses an ensemble deep learning-based approach for adenoid classification.

Purpose: To investigate the role of corneal epithelium- and Bowman's layer-thickness (ET and BLT) changes as possible early biomarkers of keratoconus (KC) development.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study patients with unilateral KC (UKC) and a group of healthy controls underwent polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) for the evaluation of corneal ET and BLT. These values were compared among three subgroups of eyes, i.

Introduction: Demand for endoscopic services is outstripping capacity in the UK. Transnasal endoscopy (TNE) utilises a narrow calibre endoscope to pass through the nasal passages, thereby reducing retching and discomfort. It is better tolerated compared with standard transoral endoscopy (TOE) but is still rarely used as a diagnostic modality.

Background: Although existing COVID-19 vaccines are known to be highly effective against severe disease and death, data are needed to assess their ability to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection. We aimed to estimate the efficacy of the NVX-CoV2373 protein subunit vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection, regardless of symptoms, among adolescents.
Methods: We performed an ancillary observational study (SNIFF) to the phase 3, observer-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled PREVENT-19 trial that assessed vaccine efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 in the USA.
