Nasal mucociliary clearance and salmeterol
Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 1997In vitro studies have suggested that beta 2-adrenergic agents increase the ciliary beat frequency in human respiratory epithelium. We carried out a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial to investigate the effects of a topical spray, salmeterol, on nasal mucociliary clearance using the saccharin test.

Nasal Mucociliary Clearance Under Various Conditions
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1983We applied the tagged-particle method or the saccharin method or both to the nasal mucociliary clearance. There was no effect of ageing on the transport time of saccharin in control subjects of ages under 60, and 70% of control subjects of ages more than 60 had the same transport time as that obtained in younger control subjects.

Nasal mucociliary clearance after radiation therapy
The Laryngoscope, 1995AbstractIrradiation has been demonstrated to cause decreased mucociliary clearance in animal models. We sought to verify this effect clinically by using the saccharin transport test to evaluate nasal mucociliary clearance in 9 patients previously treated with radiation therapy to the nasal cavity.

Nasal mucociliary clearance in adenotonsillar hypertrophy
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2000The nasal mucociliary clearance time was studied using Andersen saccharin method in 50 normal children and 50 age and sex matched patients of adenotonsillar hypertrophy, which was repeated one month after adenotonsillectomy. The normal mucociliary clearance time in healthy children was found to be 8.55 +/- 2.11 minutes.

Nasal Mucociliary Clearance in Patients with Nasal Polyposis
ORL, 1990We have studied 30 patients (13 males and 17 females) with nasal polyposis, measuring the nasal mucociliary clearance using the saccharin test. The results have been compared with those obtained in a control group of 20 healthy subjects. The values obtained in the group with nasal polyposis (mean +/- SD = 31.7 +/- 13.4 min) were significantly higher ...

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and Nasal Mucociliary Clearance
Respiration, 1987In this study, nasal mucociliary clearance is investigated in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia, patients with other respiratory tract infections and healthy persons. Mucociliary clearance is established with a drop of albumen labelled with 99m-Tc.

Effect of Atropine on Nasal Mucociliary Clearance
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990To 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.

Nasal mucociliary clearance in total laryngectomized patients
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2006We measured the nasal mucociliary activity in total laryngectomy patients, and to compare among themselves, smokers, diabetics and normal population besides that to investigate the short and long term effects of total laryngectomy on nasal mucosa. The study includes 39 patients who had total laryngectomy between the January 1998-August 2005 and 36 ...
