Postoperative nasal airway resistance is correlated with changes in anterior nasal cavity volume following posterior and superior movement caused by Le Fort I osteotomy

Advances in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Purpose: This study aimed to analyse the relationship between changes in the anterior nasal cavity volume and nasal airway resistance following posterosuperior movement of the maxilla. Materials and methods: We studied 16 patients (13 female, 3 male) who

In vivo therapeutic efficacy of frog skin-derived peptides against Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced pulmonary infection [PDF]

, 2017
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic and frequently drug-resistant pulmonary pathogen especially in cystic fibrosis sufferers. Recently, the frog skin-derived antimicrobial peptide (AMP) Esc(1-21) and its diastereomer Esc(1-21)-1c were found to ...

The Use of Rhinomanometry in Mouth Breathing: A Systematic Review of the Literature

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology
Introduction Mouth breathing generates imbalances in the musculature, in craniofacial morphofunctionality, and in the stomatognathic system. Therefore, it is essential to make a diagnosis of mouth breathing through the quantitative assessment ...

Effect of external PEEP in patients under controlled mechanical ventilation with an auto-PEEP of 5 cmH2O or higher. [PDF]

, 2016
In some patients with auto-positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP), application of PEEP lower than auto-PEEP maintains a constant total PEEP, therefore reducing the inspiratory threshold load without detrimental cardiovascular or respiratory effects.
