Physics-based analyses have the potential to consolidate and substantiate medical
diagnoses in rhinology. Such methods are frequently subject to intense investigations in …

Background Since 1972, patients with large nasal perforations, who were symptomatic, and
who were not candidates for surgery, had the option of custom prosthetic closure at Mayo …

In this paper, the airflow field including the velocity, pressure and turbulence intensity
distributions during sneezing of a female subject was simulated using a computational fluid …

Background A nasal septal perforation (NSP) can lead to frustrating symptoms for some
patients while remaining completely asymptomatic for others, without a clear mechanism …

Background The effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the upper airway (UA) has
been studied earlier but without a consistent conclusion. This study aims to evaluate the …

Background Numerous surgical techniques exist to treat nasal septal perforation (NSP). The
surgical closure of large NSPs (> 2 cm) is still challenging. Posterior septectomy has been …

We investigated (1) how nasal septal perforations (NSPs) modify nasal airflow and air-
conditioning characteristics and (2) how the modifications of nasal airflow are influenced by …

Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) is a drug delivery method which implements a high gradient
magnetic field in order to enhance the deposition of drugs, containing magnetic materials, in …

Background Endonasal endoscopic skull base surgery (EESBS) often requires significant
alterations in intranasal anatomy. For example, posterior septectomy (PS) with middle …

A numerical simulation of a patient's nasal airflow was developed via computational fluid
dynamics. Accordingly, computerized tomography scans of a patient with septal deviation …
