Evaluation of Oxygen Saturation by Pulse-Oximetry in Mouth Breathing Patients [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2010
Mouth breathing might not always result in hypoxia, but can contribute to it. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of mouth breathing on hypoxia. Based on a pilot study, 323 patients with mouth breathing were selected.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Wafer‐Scale Synthesis of Molecularly Engineered 2D Covalent Organic Framework Films for Highly‐Sensitive and Rapid‐Response Humidity Sensing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report molecularly engineered 2D COF films for high‐performance humidity sensors. The developed COFTPT‐THTA ultrathin film features triazine‐functionalized π‐conjugated backbones and high‐density surface hydroxyl groups. This unique architecture facilitates an electron‐proton coupled transport mechanism.

Frequency distribution of mouth breathing in children based on age and gender

Padjadjaran Journal of Dentistry, 2014
Introduction: Mouth breathing is one of the bad habits caused by respiratory tract obstruction, a habit, or the anatomically incompetent lip shape. It causes an abnormality on the customs of dentofacial, academic, health, and children behavior.
