How obesity affects nasal function in obstructive sleep apnea: anatomic and volumetric parameters
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea is a consequence of upper airway collapse. Any obstructive sector in the upper airway can contribute to pharyngeal collapse. Obesity and obesity-related disorders play an important role in obstructive sleep apnea and

Nasal airway dilation and obstructed breathing in sleep [PDF]
AbstractNasal respiratory airflow resistances of awake snorers averaged 0.188 ± 0.165 Pa/cm3/s (N = 306) and were not elevated beyond the normal range (< 0.25 Pa/cm3/s). Resistances were decreased substantially from a mean of 0.164 ± 0.128 to 0.065 ± 0.037 Pa/cm3/s (N = 72) by a nasal vestibular dilator (Nozovent).
