# Gervasio Posadas Mañé

Gervasio Posadas Mañé, more widely known as Gervasio Posadas, is a prize-winning novelist, born in Uruguay and currently resident in Spain.

## Biography

Gervasio Posadas was born in Montevideo in 1962, the son of an Uruguayan diplomat. He and his three siblings spent their childhood travelling between diplomatic missions in the USSR, Argentina and the United Kingdom, eventually taking up residence in Spain. He worked for several multinational companies as a marketing specialist before dedicating himself to writing on a full-time basis. He published his first novel El secreto del gazpacho (The Secret of Gazpacho), a lampoon of self-improvement manuals, in 2007, with a further six to follow, including Niki Zas y el retrete nuclear (Niki Zas and the Radioactive WC) – a novel for children – and La venganza es dulce y además no engorda (Vengeance is Sweet and Won’t Make You Fat), which was included in the New Spanish Books 2009 shortlist of books recommended for translation into English.
El mentalista de Hitler (Hitler’s Clairvoyant), published in May 2016, is based on the true story of Erik Jan Hanussen, who predicted Hitler’s rise to power in the early 1930s. According to the Spanish writer Juan Eslava Galán, “it’s a splendid novel, that reveals a little known side of Nazi Germany.” His latest novel, El mercader de la muerte (Merchant of Death) is centred around the enigmatic figure of Basil Zaharoff, an international gun-runner who was particularly active in the 1930s. It has been described by the novelist Lorenzo Silva as "A crude life journey, from Constantinople to Montecarlo, narrated with rare elegance and which reads like one of the best-written mystery stories."
Gervasio is the brother of the writer Carmen Posadas, with whom he jointly wrote Hoy caviar, mañana sardinas (Caviar today, Sardines Tomorrow), which won the Premio Sent Sovi for Gastronomic Literature in 2008 and the Prix Eugénie Brazier for Best Gastronomic Novel in 2014.
The author writes a blog for the Spanish edition of the Huffington Post.
# Turbinectomy

A turbinectomy or turbinoplasty (preserving the mucosal layer) is a surgical procedure, that removes tissue, and sometimes bone, of the turbinates in the nasal passage, particularly the inferior nasal concha. The procedure is usually performed to relieve nasal obstructions. In most cases, turbinate hypertrophy is accompanied by some septum deviation, so the surgery is done along with septoplasty.

## Indications

A turbinectomy is usually performed to resolve turbinate hypertrophy, where the turbinates are swollen and enlarged. Common causes of this condition are allergies, environmental irritants, or a deviated septum.

## Procedure
### Traditional methods

There are many different techniques used in a turbinectomy, including electrocautery, cryotherapy (cryoturbinectomy), laser vaporization, and turbinoplasty. These require general anesthesia.

### Radiofrequency ablation

The use of radiofrequency ablation has shown to be a safer alternative, being performed as an outpatient procedure, using lidocaine for local anesthesia. It does not alter the epithelial structure or function. It causes no postoperative pain, bleeding, or crusting, though it can result in some temporary nasal blockage or rhinorrhea due to resulting inflammation.

## Complications

Empty nose syndrome, one form of atrophic rhinitis, is a condition that can develop as a result of turbinate surgery or other surgeries that have an impact on the turbinates. It is a rare condition in which people whose nasal passages are clear following a turbinectomy experience a number of symptoms, including feelings of nasal obstruction, nasal dryness, and crusting, as well as a sensation of being unable to breathe, inter alia.

# Get Off on the Pain (song)

"Get Off on the Pain" is a song written by Brett James, Bill Luther and Justin Weaver, and recorded by American country music singer Gary Allan. It was released in March 2010 as the second single and title track from his 2010 album of the same name. The song is Allan's twenty-fourth single release overall.

## Critical reception

Of the song, Brian Mansfield of USA Today cited the lyric "I don't know why my life sounds like a heartbroke country song" as setting the tone of the album, saying, "Allan sides with long shots, dark horses and lost causes more apt to revel in their misery than celebrate their good fortune." Country Weekly reviewer Jessica Phillips described the track as "set[ting] the stage" for the rest of the album. Bobby Peacock of Roughstock gave the single four-and-a-half stars out of five, saying that it "suits him in a way that very few of his previous singles have ever done."

## Chart performance

"Get Off on the Pain" debuted at number 42 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs for the week of April 3, 2010. Like his previous hit, "Today," this song peaked at number 18 on the country chart.
| Chart (2010) | Peak position |
