Perceiving nasal patency through mucosal cooling rather than air temperature or nasal resistance.
Adequate perception of nasal airflow (i.e., nasal patency) is an important consideration for patients with nasal sinus diseases. The perception of a lack of nasal patency becomes the primary symptom that drives these patients to seek medical treatment ...

Aging effect in nasal resistance.
5歳から84歳までの鼻疾患,呼吸器疾患のない男女501例について,一方向流によるpassive anterior法にて鼻腔抵抗の測定を行い,5歳から16歳までの各年齢および15歳以上の6つの年齢群ごとの測定値を示し,年齢と鼻腔抵抗の変化につき検討を加え,次のような結果を得た.1) 5歳から16歳までの抵抗の変化は,a) 8歳までの抵抗の高い時期,b) それに続き11歳頃までの比較的急激に抵抗が低下する時期,およびc) それ以後の抵抗の変動が認められる時期の3つに分けられる.a)においてはアデノイドの存在が,b)においては鼻腔の大きさの増大とアデノイドの消退が,c)においては鼻腔や鼻甲介の発育の不均衡と自律神経系の影響が考えられた.2) 20歳以後の抵抗の変化には次の2つの特徴がみられた.a ...
