Effect of Nasal Obstruction on Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment: Computational Fluid Dynamics Analyses.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
ObjectiveNasal obstruction is a common problem in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for obstructive sleep apnea and limits treatment compliance. The purpose of this study is to model the effects of nasal obstruction on airflow parameters

Portable Breathing Monitoring With Phase‐Resolved Airflow Dynamics Enabled by a Dual‐Response Flexible PZT Sensor

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A portable respiratory monitoring device based on a flexible PZT sensor captures pressure‐ and temperature‐related airflow responses in a single waveform. Polarity‐opposed piezoelectric and pyroelectric components generate a narrow transient spike and a broad quasi‐steady peak during both inhalation and exhalation. This dual‐component structure enables

Removing nasal valve obstruction in peak nasal inspiratory flow measurement

open access: yes, 2007
Peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) measurements are used to evaluate nasal obstruction and as a surrogate for disease activity in allergic rhinitis and other nasal complaints.

Newborn Nasal Obstruction due to Congenital Nasal Pyriform Aperture Stenosis

open access: yes, 2016
Introduction Nasal obstruction is an important condition that can lead to severe respiratory distress in newborns. There are several differential diagnoses, and one of them is congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis (CNPAS).

A Super‐Adhesive Air Filter With Capillarity‐Mediated Spontaneous Particle Absorption via Dynamic Bond Exchange

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We address the inherently weak particle adhesion of conventional air filters by coating a dynamically crosslinked adhesive layer that delivers capillarity‐driven strong adhesion and particle absorption mediated by dynamic bond exchange. The resulting enhancement in particle adhesion enables efficient ultrafast (up to 20 m s−1) and omnidirectional ...

Managing Nasal Airway Obstruction: The Otolaryngology Approach

open access: yes, 2020
Nasal airway obstruction is a common problem presenting to primary care providers in clinical practice. It is easy to diagnose nasal airway obstruction as part of a symptom of chronic allergies or sinusitis; however, it is essential to rule out a ...

Nasal obstruction in children

open access: yesEuropean Annals of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Diseases, 2016
Nasal obstruction is a very frequent symptom in children, with numerous etiologies. Clinical diagnosis is straightforward, but general impact and rare etiologies should be explored for. Complementary examinations are guided by diagnostic orientation.
