Decontaminating the nasal passages.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 to perform the technique.

The Effect of Nasal Obstruction after Different Nasal Surgeries Using Acoustic Rhinometry and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation Scale
BACKGROUND The efficiency of nasal surgeries can be determined by objective or subjective methods. We have assessed the effect of nasal obstruction after different nasal surgeries using Acoustic Rhinometry (AR) and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) Scale. METHODS Between May 2011 and May 2012, 40 young adult patients and 10 healthy volunteers as control group who referred to ...
متن کاملDeposition of inhaled nanoparticles in the rat nasal passages: dose to the olfactory region.
In vivo experiments have shown that nanoparticles depositing in the rat olfactory region can translocate to the brain via the olfactory nerve. Quantitative predictions of the dose delivered by inhalation to the olfactory region are needed to clarify this route of exposure and to evaluate the dose-response effects of exposure to toxic nanoparticles. Previous in vivo and in vitro studies quantifi...
متن کاملReduced growth and proliferation dynamics of nasal epithelial stem/progenitor cells in nasal polyps in vitro
Basal cells in nasal epithelium have stemness/progenitor characters and play essential roles in the epithelial remodeling in nasal polyps (NP). We investigate whether the human nasal epithelial stem/progenitor cells (hNESPCs) from patients with NP are inherently distinct from those obtained from healthy controls. Epithelial basal cells were isolated and cultured for four passages from NP tissue...
متن کاملCell proliferation and nasal carcinogenesis.
The nasal passages of rodents provide valuable opportunities for research on relationships between cell proliferation and cancer. The nose, which has multiple functions, possesses a diverse range of tissue types, each with its own morphologic, physiologic, and metabolic characteristics and site-specific cell turnover rates. Moreover, for inhaled materials deposited in the nose, complex regional...
