Improving Nasal Airflow with a Novel Nasal Breathing Stent. [PDF]
Dent J (Basel), 2022 Nasal obstruction requires close attention, as it is a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study evaluated airflow rates of our newly designed nasal breathing stent (NBS) compared with those of existing nasal dilators in 10 adult men. We hypothesized that the NBS would expand the nasal passage more than the other nasal dilators by means

Effect of Oral Versus Nasal Breathing on Muscular Performance, Muscle Oxygenation, and Post-Exercise Recovery [PDF]
SportsNitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in muscle oxidative capacity, which predicts muscle strength. This study aimed to investigate whether different breathing techniques (nasal or oral breathing) affect muscle performance during acute exhaustive ...

Neural Correlates of Non-ordinary States of Consciousness in Pranayama Practitioners: The Role of Slow Nasal Breathing [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022 The modulatory effect of nasal respiration on integrative brain functions and hence consciousness has recently been unambiguously demonstrated. This effect is sustained by the olfactory epithelium mechanical sensitivity complemented by the existence of ...

The effects of heated humidification to nasopharynx on nasal resistance and breathing pattern
PLoS ONE, 2019 BACKGROUND:Mouth breathing could induce not only dry throat and eventually upper respiratory tract infection, but also snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, while nasal breathing is protective against those problems.

The impact of breathing route on pulmonary and sensory responses to ozone exposure during exercise in adults [PDF]
Physiological ReportsOzone (O3) is a photochemical air pollutant known to reduce lung function and induce respiratory symptoms. This study aimed to determine whether breathing route influences O3‐induced lung function changes during exercise.
