Mucociliary clearance after external dacryocystorhinostomy

Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 2004
We investigated the nasal mucociliary clearance time in 17 patients who underwent a primary unilateral external dacryocystorhinostomy operation. Mucociliary clearance function in both nasal cavities was assessed with the saccharin test. The results were compared with each other using paired samples t-test.

Bromhexine and mucociliary clearance in chronic bronchitis

British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1974
Abstract Lung mucociliary clearance was assessed in 9 patients with chronic bronchitis from the rate of removal of previously inhaled particles tagged with a radioisotope (99mTc) before and after the administration of bromhexine (Bisolvon) 16 mg three times daily.

Volatile anesthetics and mucociliary clearance.

Minerva anestesiologica, 2008
The aim of this prospective, randomized, double blind study was to evaluate the possible modification of in vivo nasal mucociliary clearance by three different volatile agents: sevoflurane, isoflurane and desflurane, following intravenous induction and tracheal intubation.Following institutional approval and informed consent, 60 patients scheduled for ...

Effect of Atropine on Nasal Mucociliary Clearance

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990
To investigate the effect of atropine on mucociliary function, nasal mucociliary clearance was measured with two methods in eight healthy men before and after subcutaneous injection of atropine sulphate. The movement of two different tracers placed 1.5 cm posterior to the inferior turbinate tip was measured.

Myrtol standardized affects mucociliary clearance

International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology, 2016
BackgroundMyrtol standardized (Gelomyrtol forte) has been shown to be effective in controlling nasal symptoms of rhinosinusitis by promoting mucociliary clearance. Our aim was to evaluate the short‐ and long‐term effects of myrtol on ciliated columnar cells and goblet cells in an in‐vitro setting.MethodsNasal epithelial cells were harvested (42 days ...

Cough and mucociliary clearance.

Bulletin europeen de physiopathologie respiratoire, 1987
Cough is a host defence mechanism of the lungs. Theoretical considerations indicate that the efficacy of cough in clearing secretions is limited to the first few airway generations of the human lung. Studies utilizing radioaerosols as markers of mucus support the theoretical predictions and show that cough is effective in the proximal airways only in ...

[Mucociliary clearance in childhood].

Monatsschrift Kinderheilkunde : Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Kinderheilkunde, 1992
A new, nearly monodisperse human serum albumin particle produced by air-pressure-nebulization was inhaled by children and lung-transplant patients.After inhalation of the particles obtained with an air-pressure nebulizer, the initial deposition pattern showed a marked tracheobronchial deposition which could be reproducibly obtained without a special ...

[Pathogenesis of mucociliary clearance].

Vestnik Rossiiskoi akademii meditsinskikh nauk, 2010
The study of mucociliary clearance included 68 patients with bronchial asthma of different severity in whom viscoelastic properties of the sputum, motor activity of ciliary epithelium, glycosaminoglycans in peripheral blood and bronchial secretion at the B9-B10 level of the bronchial tree were determined.
