Dry and irritated mucous membranes of the eyes and airways are common symptoms
reported in office-like environments. Earlier studies suggested that indoor pollutants were …

One of the most important functions of the nose is heating the inspiratory air. The aim of the
present study was to measure nasal mucosal temperature at defined intranasal sites during …

Interaction of the M-protein of group A Streptococcus (GAS) with its numerous host binding
partners might assist the bacteria in evading host immune responses. Although the …

Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a consequence of evaporative water loss in
conditioning the inspired air. The water loss causes cooling and dehydration of the airway …

Thin on the Ground: Neandertal Biology, Archeology and Ecology synthesizes the current
knowledge about our sister species the Neandertals, combining data from a variety of …

Healthy humans normally breathe through their nose even though its complex geometry
imposes a significantly higher resistance in comparison with mouth breathing. The major …

The nose is the front line defender of the respiratory system. Unsteady simulations in three-
dimensional models have been developed to study transport patterns in the human nose …

Study design Intranasal relative humidity and temperature of 23 volunteers was measured
during respiration at different locations in the nasal cavity. Methods The end-inspiratory …

Airflow dynamics are recognized as being important to the functioning of the human nose in
conditioning and filtering inspired air, yet these dynamics are poorly understood. Despite …

Adequate perception of nasal airflow (ie, nasal patency) is an important consideration for
patients with nasal sinus diseases. The perception of a lack of nasal patency becomes the …
