Morphological Basis for Airway Surgical Intervention in Apert Syndrome
Conclusions Airway compromise in Apert syndrome patients is attributable more to the nasal cavity in infants, but in the older child, it is the pharyngeal region. The restricted nasal airway in Apert syndrome is correlated with the subcranial space length and width, but independent of cranial base flexion. The pharyngeal airway volume in Apert syndrome is not as highly correlated with craniofacial morphology. Rather, it is impacted by the growth of mandible, which often requires surgical intervention later in childhood. (Source: Annals of Plastic Surgery)

Metabolome subtyping of severe bronchiolitis in infancy and risk of childhood asthma
Capsule Summary: Among infant with severe bronchiolitis, clustering analysis of the nasopharyngeal airway metabolome identified biologically distinct metabotypes, including one characterized by high inflammatory amino acids and low PUFAs that is at increased risk for developing asthma.

Nasopharyngeal Airway Causing Partial Tracheal Obstruction During an Awake Nasotracheal Fiberoptic Intubation: A Case Report
We describe a case where this nasopharyngeal airway was inadvertently advanced with the bronchoscope and led to partial tracheal obstruction. To our knowledge, this represents the first reported case of this mishap. Aspiration of the nasopharyngeal airway can lead to complete airway obstruction and devastating consequences. Simple techniques such as attaching a hemostat or using an assistant to hold on to the nasopharyngeal airway may prevent this occurrence. (Source: A&A Case Reports)

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a child with Kartagener`s syndrome
CONCLUSION: We present a case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma which developed in a child with Kartagener`s syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first report of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a child with Kartagener`s Syndrome.PMID:33686839 | DOI:10.24953/turkjped.2021.01.019 (Source: The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics)
