Commensal–Pathogen Interactions along the Human Nasal Passages
Bacterial species that commonly reside on surfaces of the human nasal passages (Fig 1) interact with the host along a continuum from beneficial to harmful, i.e., from mutualist to commensal to pathogen. Likewise, the host responds along a continuum from tolerance to damage [1]. In fact, a small number of bacterial species that are prevalent and often abundant members of the nasal microbiota are...
متن کاملDecontaminating the nasal passages.
Nasal decontamination may be indicated when the anterior nasal passages are contaminated with highly radioactive material or radioactive material with either irritating or toxic properties. Nasal irrigation (wash, rinse, douche, lavage) is an established technique used for other conditions and can be applied in these cases. This paper discusses the rationale and use of nasal irrigation and how ...
متن کاملAirflow, gas deposition, and lesion distribution in the nasal passages.
The nasal passages of laboratory animals and man are complex, and lesions induced in the delicate nasal lining by inhaled air pollutants vary considerably in location and nature. The distribution of nasal lesions is generally a consequence of regional deposition of the inhaled material, local tissue susceptibility, or a combination of these factors. Nasal uptake and regional deposition are are ...
متن کاملCharacterization of deposition from nasal spray devices using a computational fluid dynamics model of the human nasal passages.
Many studies suggest limited effectiveness of spray devices for nasal drug delivery due primarily to high deposition and clearance at the front of the nose. Here, nasal spray behavior was studied using experimental measurements and a computational fluid dynamics model of the human nasal passages constructed from magnetic resonance imaging scans of a healthy adult male. Eighteen commercially ava...
متن کاملDosimetry modeling of inhaled formaldehyde: comparisons of local flux predictions in the rat, monkey, and human nasal passages.
Formaldehyde-induced nasal squamous cell carcinomas in rats and squamous metaplasia in rats and rhesus monkeys occur in specific regions of the nose with species-specific distribution patterns. Experimental approaches addressing local differences in formaldehyde uptake patterns and dose are limited by the resolution of dissection techniques used to obtain tissue samples and the rapid metabolism...
