The influence of obturators on the respiration of patients with maxillary defects: a clinical study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The study evaluated the effects of obturators on respiratory function by analyzing the changes in nasal anatomic structures and physiologic function in maxillectomy patients with and without obturators. Twenty-six patients who underwent maxillectomy were

Investigation on the nasal airflow characteristics of anterior nasal cavity stenosis
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2016 We used a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to study the inspiratory airflow profiles of patients with anterior nasal cavity stenosis who underwent curative surgery, by comparing pre- and postoperative airflow characteristics. Twenty patients with

Nasal resistance in facial palsy.
Nippon Jibiinkoka Gakkai Kaiho, 1989 The parasympathetic nerve which innervates the nasal mucosa is known to take a course along the facial nerve, geniculate ganglion, greater petrosal nerve and Vidian nerve as a preganglionic component. In the case of facial palsy with decreased lacrimation, it is proposed that the patients have a damage of the geniculate or suprageniculate lesion.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).
