Nasal histamine responses in nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilic syndrome [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Nonallergic rhinitis with eosinophilic syndrome (NARES) is persistent, without atopy, but with ≥25% nasal eosinophilia. Hypereosinophilia seems to contribute to nasal mucosa dysfunction.

Nasal resistance and sleep apnea [PDF]
The Laryngoscope, 1987 AbstractThis study explores the role of the nose in obstructive sleep apnea. If the nose acts as a Starling resistor, elevated nasal resistance may result in negative pharyngeal pressure that is of greater magnitude than the situation with normal nasal resistance. Large negative pharyngeal pressures could cause obstructive apnea.

The effect of decongestion on nasal airway patency and airflow
Scientific Reports, 2021 Nasal decongestant reduces blood flow to the nasal turbinates, reducing tissue volume and increasing nasal airway patency. This study maps the changes in nasal anatomy and measures how these changes affect nasal resistance, flow partitioning between ...

Nasality Changes With Age in Normal Korean-Speaking Adults [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2019 Objectives This study was performed to investigate the effects of aging on nasality and the influence of age-related changes in nasal cavity volume and nasal patency on nasality. Methods A total of 180 healthy Korean-speaking adult volunteers, who had no
