Reconstruction of lesions in the head and neck region must be both functionally and esthetically adequate, as the exposed anatomic position can easily lead to social stigmatization after injury. Distortion of symmetry, e.g., by a crooked nose, enophthalmos, or a (partial) amputation of the outer ear, is easily visible. On the other hand, limitations to nasal breathing and olfaction or diplopia may significantly reduce quality of life, and restoration of form and function continues to be challenging. This review discusses the treatment options for trauma of the external nose and the lateral midface, including the orbital floor and the auricle.

The cerapodan dinosaurs were an ornithischian clade that achieved a global distribution in the Cretaceous Period. The ichnological record suggests that these dinosaurs had evolved by the Middle Jurassic, but only a single cerapodan body fossil, an isolated femur from the Callovian of the UK, is known from this interval. In order to elucidate the early stages of cerapodan evolution and help to resolve the many phylogenetic inconsistencies in the clade, new specimens, particularly from historically undersampled localities, are needed.

Purpose: This prospective study aimed to compare titration pressures obtained using three methods-full-night titration (FN-T), split-night titration (SN-T), and home auto-titration (HA-T)- in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Additionally, factors contributing to pressure differences relative to FN-T were investigated.
Methods: SN-T was performed on 74 patients suspected of having OSA.
Burn inhalation injury and intubation with dexamethasone-eluting endotracheal tubes modulate local microbiome and alter airway inflammation.

Background: Inhalation injuries, caused by exposure to extreme heat and chemical irritants, lead to complications with speaking, swallowing, and breathing. This study investigates the effects of thermal injury and endotracheal tube (ETT) placement on the airway microbiome and inflammatory response. A secondary aim is to assess the impact of localized dexamethasone delivery via a drug-eluting ETT to reduce laryngeal scarring.
