Workflow and update model for the Rhinology & Skull Base literature wiki.

What this is

A living literature review of rhinology, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and skull base surgery, with a deliberate emphasis on emerging technology — devices, automation, AI, and outcomes. It is built as plain Markdown so it can live in your Obsidian vault and publish as a static site via Quartz.

Structure

  • index.md — home / map of content
  • Topics/ — eight curated topic pages, each a running list of publications (newest first)
  • Updates/ — dated digests; one per weekly run, so you can see what’s new at a glance
  • Resources/ — the exact search queries (Search Strategy), key journals, and the machine-readable .search-queries.json
  • 00-About/ — this page

Every publication links to its PubMed record and DOI. Topic pages cross-link via [[wikilinks]], so the Quartz graph view shows how themes connect.

Update cadence — weekly (automated)

A scheduled task runs every Monday. Each run:

  1. Executes the eight topic queries in Search Strategy against PubMed, filtered to the trailing 7 days (entry date).
  2. De-duplicates against PMIDs already in the wiki.
  3. Fetches metadata for genuinely new papers and writes a one-line plain-language takeaway.
  4. Appends them to the relevant Topics/ pages (newest first) and updates the counts.
  5. Creates a new Updates/YYYY-MM-DD — Weekly digest.md summarizing the week.

If a week has no new papers in a topic, that topic is simply skipped in the digest.

Manual supplementation

PubMed under-indexes pure-engineering and industry work. The non-PubMed sources (FDA clearances, arXiv/IEEE robotics & vision papers, society guidance) are tracked under the relevant topic pages and listed in Search Strategy. Add anything you find by hand — the format is just a Markdown bullet.

Publishing with Quartz

See README.md in this folder for the one-time Quartz setup. In short: point Quartz’s content at this folder (or symlink it), run npx quartz build --serve to preview, and deploy to GitHub Pages or Netlify.

Primary index: PubMed (NCBI E-utilities). This wiki is an information resource, not medical advice.
