Assessment of nasal resistance using computational fluid dynamics
Anterior rhinomanometry is the current gold standard for the objective assessment of nasal breathing by determining the nasal resistance. However, computational fluid dynamics would allow spatially and temporally well- resolved investigation of ...

Assessing nasal resistance in Japanese children by active anterior rhinomanometry
Objectives: The mean bilateral nasal resistance in normal Japanese adults is 0.25±0.12 Pa/cm3/s, but this value in children remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the mean nasal resistance values in Japanese children.

Nasal resistance and flow resistive work of nasal breathing during exercise: effects of a nasal dilator strip [PDF]
Using posterior rhinomanometry, we measured nasal airflow resistance (Rn) and flow-resistive work of nasal breathing (WONB), with an external nasal dilator strip (ENDS) and without (control), in 15 healthy adults (6 men, 9 women) during exclusive nasal breathing and graded (50–230 W) exercise on a cycle ergometer. ENDS decreased resting inspiratory and/
