Effects of Aging on Nasal Mucociliary Clearance
Nasal mucociliary clearance is a primary physiological defense mechanism of upper as well as lower respiratory tract, and thus maintains the state of health of the respiratory tract. Any disturbance in number or movement of cilia and change in character or amount of mucus production leads to an altered nasal mucociliary clearance. The present study was undertaken to study the effect of aging on...
متن کاملMeasurement of nasal mucociliary clearance.
The saccharin test was carried out in a randomly selected sample of schoolchildren (142 boys and 153 girls, age range 11-14 years) to determine the variability and reproducibility of the test and to assess whether it could be used as a screening test for nasal mucociliary clearance. Nasal mucociliary clearance times were analysed according to clinical history (asthma, rhinitis, asthma with rhin...
متن کاملMeasurement of Nasal Mucociliary Clearance
Mucociliary clearance (MCC), a vital key defense mechanism is especially important in the upper airways and sinuses, as it protects the body against noxious inhaled materials [1]. The removal of debris-laden mucus in the sinuses completely depends on MCC, whereas in the lower airways, MCC can be compensated for by other mechanisms like coughing [2]. The nasal mucociliary clearance (NMC) system ...
متن کاملEffects of buffered saline solution on nasal mucociliary clearance and nasal airway patency.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of buffered hypertonic and buffered normal saline nasal spray on mucociliary clearance and nasal airway patency. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Double-blind trial with subjects acting as their own controls. Tertiary care academic medical center. RESULTS Buffered hypertonic saline and buffered normal saline both improved saccharine clearance times ( P < 0.0001 for ...
متن کاملNasal mucociliary clearance in adenotonsillar hypertrophy.
The nasal mucociliary clearance time was studied using Andersen saccharin method in 50 normal children and 50 age and sex matched patients of adenotonsillar hypertrophy, which was repeated one month after adenotonsillectomy. The normal mucociliary clearance time in healthy children was found to be 8.55 +/- 2.11 minutes. A significant impairment in nasal mucociliary clearance time was noted in c...
