Abstract This article is an examination of computational fluid dynamics in the field otolaryngology, specifically rhinology. The historical development and subsequent application continues to enhance our understanding various sinonasal conditions surgical planning today. aims provide a description dynamics, methods for its application, clinical relevance results. Consideration recent research data demonstrates use nonhistological disease pathology exploration, accompanied by large potential...

Social identity – formed through membership in groups may play an important role regulating intrateam moral behaviour youth sport (Bruner, M. W., Boardley, I., & Côté, J. (2014). and prosocial antisocial behavior sport. Psychology of Sport Exercise, 15(1), 56–64. doi:10.1016/j.psychsport.2013.09.003). The aim this study was to qualitatively examine potential stimulated recall interviews with competitive youth-ice-hockey players. Twenty-three players (Mage = 13.27 years, SD 1.79) who reported...

Social identity has been found to play a salient role in regulating teammate behavior among youth participating range of sports (Bruner, Boardley, & Côté, 2014). This study aimed better understand social by examining how it may influence intrateam moral specifically competitive ice hockey. Thirty-six male and female hockey players from nine teams participated narrative interviews. Using thematic analysis, three distinct narratives were identified: (1) family-oriented team narrative, (2)...

Abstract Objective Wendler's glottoplasty (WG) is a pitch‐elevating surgery performed by laryngologists providing gender‐affirming care. The creates an anterior glottic web that could theoretically cause airway concerns, either perioperatively or at the time of future procedures; such concerns are not well‐described in literature. We seek to assess surgeon opinions on regarding WG. Method A survey assessing considerations glottoplasty. Results total 19 physicians responded, representing...

Abstract Background A patient's subjective response to topical nasal decongestant is often used screen for turbinate reduction surgery suitability. However, this anecdotal strategy has not been objectively and quantitatively evaluated. Methods Prospective, longitudinal, single‐blinded cohort study employing computational fluid dynamic modeling based on computed tomography scans at baseline, 30 min postoxymetazoline, 2 months postsurgery 11 patients with chronic hypertrophy. Results Nasal...

Introduction Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling has previously indicated that distorted nasal airflow patterns may contribute to empty nose syndrome (ENS); however, no data show aggressive turbinate surgery always leads ENS. We aim use virtual planning (VSP) investigate how a total inferior turbinectomy affects parameters compared with ENS patients. Methods retrospectively recruited six obstruction patients who underwent reduction surgery. virtually performed on these compare CFD...

This study compared salivary and serum concentrations of testosterone cortisol at rest in response to intense multitask exercise boys men. Early morning saliva venous blood samples were obtained before 15 minutes after from 30 competitive swimmers (15 boys, age 14.3 [1.9] y; men, 21.7 [3.1] y). Exercise included a swim-bench maximal strength task an all-out 200-m swim, followed by high-intensity interval swimming protocol (5 × 100 m, 5 50 25 m). At baseline, fasting (but not cortisol)...

Abstract Objective Topical corticosteroid irrigation plays critical role in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Yet, its efficacy can be highly variable. We sought to determine if personalized, 3‐dimensional (3D)‐printed nasal models optimize head positioning and parameters, therefore improving patient outcomes. Study Design Randomized, single‐blinded clinical trial. Setting Tertiary medical center from November 2021 July 2023. Methods Sixty‐two patients with CRS were randomized...

Objectives Oxymetazoline relieves nasal obstructive symptoms via vasoconstriction, however, the changes in structures and aerodynamics that impact most remain unclear. Methods This prospective, longitudinal, single blinded cohort study applied Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modeling based on CT scans at baseline post‐oxymetazoline 13 consecutive patients with chronic obstruction secondary to inferior turbinate hypertrophy from a tertiary medical center. To account for placebo effect, sham...

This study sought to examine coaches’ perceptions of social identity among their athletes and explore the ways that they may attempt influence its development. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 head coaches ( M age = 49.25 years; SD 6.5 experience 15.75 7.66 n female 1) male 8) 4) competitive youth ice hockey teams. Three main themes identified through our analysis. First, athletes’ identities described examples peer connection similarity (i.e., in-group ties), positive affect...
