Relation of Intraoral Air Pressure to Oral Cavity Size

In vivo dosimetry of intraoral stent using TLD during external photon beam radiotherapy of oral cavity

Introduction: Individual oral stent is a mouth-opening device that used in head and neck cancer radiotherapy with the intention of decreasing radiation dose to health tissues. The aim of this study was to check the dose delivered to both the hard palate and tongue when patient uses the stent during radiotherapy of tongue carcinoma. Methods and materials<stron...

Electromyographic and intraoral air-pressure studies of bi-labial stops.

INTRODUCTION There have been a number of electromyographic (EMG) studies of the lips (Harris et al. 1965; Fromkin 1966; Perrin and Scharf 1970; Tatham and Morton 1968a, 1968b, 1970), at least one Lubker and Parris 1970) involving simultaneous measurement of intraoral air pressure behind bilabial stops. The experiment reported here was one of a series designed to throw light on the problem of de...

Relation of nasal air flow to nasal cavity dimensions.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between nasal cavity dimensions and airflow based on measures of acoustic rhinometry (AR) and peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) in a very large sample of mixed rhinologic and nonrhinologic patients. DESIGN Clinical survey conducted between 2001 and 2007. SETTING Secondary referral ambulatory center and hospital. PATIENTS The study population comp...

Role of Oral Cavity in COVID-19 : Letter to Editor

On December 2019, a large number of pneumonia cases with unknown etiology were reported in Wuhan, China. In specimens taken from the throat with a swab, a new virus was founded, which was called COVID-19 by WHO. Due to the small number of studies, we decided to investigate the role of the oral cavity in this disease.
