To study the effects of nasal deformity on aerosol penetration past valve (NV) for varying particle sizes using sprays or nebulizers.Computed mathematical airway model.Department computer lab.Particle deposition was analyzed a computational fluid dynamics model human nose with leftward septal deviation and compensatory right inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Sprays were simulated 10 µm, 20 50 following Rosin Rammler size distribution (10-110 µm), at speeds 1, 3, meters per second. Nebulization...
To evaluate whether virtual surgery performed on 3-dimensional (3D) nasal airway models can predict postsurgical, biophysical parameters obtained by computational fluid dynamics (CFD).Presurgery and postsurgery computed tomographic scans of a patient undergoing septoplasty right inferior turbinate reduction (ITR) were used to generate 3D the airway. Prior obtaining scan, presurgery model was digitally altered 3 models: (1) ITR only, (2) (3) with ITR. The results CFD analyses compared...
Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) is a common health condition impacting mood, energy, recreation, sleep, and overall quality of life. surgery often addresses NAO but the results are sometimes unsatisfactory. Evaluating surgical treatment efficacy could be improved if objective tests were available that correlated with patient-reported measures symptoms. The goal this study was to develop methods for comparing nasal resistance computed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models symptoms using...
Historically, otolaryngologists have focused on nasal resistance to airflow and minimum airspace cross-sectional area as objective measures of obstruction using methods such rhinomanometry acoustic rhinometry. However, subjective sensation patency may be more associated with activation cold receptors by inspired air than respiratory effort.To investigate whether correlates mucosal temperature in healthy individuals.Healthy adult volunteers first completed the Nasal Obstruction Symptom...
Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) is a common problem that affects patient quality of life. Surgical success for NAO correction variable. Virtual surgery planning via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has the potential to improve rates surgery. To elicit surgeon feedback virtual tool and determine if this decision making. For cross-sectional study, 60-minute face-to-face interviews with board-certified otolaryngologists were conducted at single academic otolaryngology department from September...
Patients commonly present with complaints of postnasal drainage (PND) without objective evidence to support a sinonasal or infectious etiology. PND has been attributed extra-esophageal reflux (EER), and an empiric trial antireflux medication often is used treat associated symptoms. This study was performed (1) evaluate the relationship between symptoms EER (2) assess efficacy proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in management PND.Patients chief complaint inflammatory disease were enrolled...
This study investigates how deviated nasal septum affects the quantity and distribution of spray particles, examines effects inspiratory airflow head position on particle transport.Deposition particles was analysed using a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model created from computed tomography scan human nose with leftward septal deviation right inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Five simulations were conducted FluentTM software, sizes ranging 20-110 μm, speed 3 m/s, plume...

Summary The K‐D2 point is the Korean hand acupressure in Koryo Hand Therapy for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting. We evaluated efficacy capsaicin ointment at 186 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy a randomised, prospective, double‐blind placebo‐controlled study. Patients were randomised to have either placebo or applied both hands 1 h before surgery under standardised anaesthesia. was removed 8 later. Postoperative vomiting 6 24 following surgery. incidence lower...
Objectives: We describe the clinical presentation of a 7 1/2-year-old boy with history mild intermittent asthma who presented left lung collapse and was found to have plastic bronchitis. Methods: reviewed patient chart imaging results performed literature review bronchitis its management. Results: Bronchoscopy in our demonstrated large white, friable, cast-like material that obstructed entire main stem bronchus could not be easily suctioned. The cast removed piecemeal fashion by means serial...

Exhaled nitric oxide (FE(NO)) has been shown to be decreased in children with sickle cell disease. We sought evaluate the effect of vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) on FE(NO) levels. measured levels 42 disease, 29 their baseline health and 13 during an acute VOC. There was no difference between at (15.12 +/- 9.32 ppb) those VOC (15.68 7.26 ppb; P = 0.794). is not a useful marker
We present a case of 26-year-old man who sustained close-range gunshot wound to the head. His injuries included significant left orbital injury resulting in ruptured, blind eye and severely comminuted fractures roof, superior inferior rims, floor. Associated frontal lobe injury, anterior posterior table sinus, zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture. employed an interdisciplinary surgical approach with collaboration among Otolaryngology, Neurosurgery, Oculoplastic Surgery services performed two...
