The Rationale Behind a Continuous Nasal Positive Airway Pressure Machine That Approximates the Nasal Cycle During Sleep

, 2017
Normal nasal airflow alternates in dominance between the two nostrils with an ultradian rhythm called the “nasal cycle.” The nasal cycle is thought to enable the patent airway to perform the majority of the air-conditioning functions, while the congested

Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in Thika Level 5 Hospital, Kenya: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important nosocomial pathogen but little is known about its circulation in hospitals in developing countries. We aimed to describe carriage of S.aureus amongst inpatients in a mid-sized

Nasal carriage rate and multiple antimicrobial resistance indices of Staphylococcus aureus among healthcare students at the Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria

African Journal of Laboratory Medicine
Background: Healthcare students could harbour multidrug-resistant (MDR) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). There is a need to understand the extent and factors associated with nasal carriage of these strains.

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Nanomaterials for Allergy Diagnosis and Treatment: Advances, Opportunities and Translational Challenges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials offer dual applications in allergy management. For diagnosis, nanomaterials enhance analytical sensitivity and improve detection in specific IgE and functional assays such as the basophil activation test (BAT). For allergen‐specific immunotherapy, nanomaterials enable allergen masking and controlled release, and effectively modulate the ...

Effect of Radiotherapy on Sino-nasal Function in Nasopharynx Cancer Patients

Ear, Nose & Throat Journal
Introduction: Radiotherapy causes significant nasal comorbidity in nasopharynx cancer (NPC) patients. However, the literature addressing the sino-nasal quality of life (QoL) of those patients, especially on structural and functional changes after ...
