introduction: septal deviation is the chief cause of chronic nasal obstruction. in order to treat such cases, nasal septoplasty surgery is usually performed based on patient complaints and a surgeon's examination, both of which are subjective. this study aims at using the objective parameters of acoustic rhinometry and rhinomanometry to evaluate the effectiveness of septoplasty surgery.   ...

Introduction: Recently combination of diagnostic endoscopy and systematic understanding of the lateral nasal wall with CT in the coronal plane has become the corner stone in the evaluation of the PNS disease. This is the basis for the concept of FESS. Material and Method: Patients attending ENT OPD in RIMS, Ranchi with any sino-nasal complains lasting for more than 4 weeks and not responding to...

Nasal congestion is one of the most troublesome symptoms of many upper airways diseases. We characterized the effect of selective α2c-adrenergic agonists in animal models of nasal congestion. In porcine mucosa tissue, compound A and compound B contracted nasal veins with only modest effects on arteries. In in vivo experiments, we examined the nasal decongestant dose-response characteristics, ph...

Adequate perception of nasal airflow (i.e., nasal patency) is an important consideration for patients with nasal sinus diseases. The perception of a lack of nasal patency becomes the primary symptom that drives these patients to seek medical treatment. However, clinical assessment of nasal patency remains a challenge because we lack objective measurements that correlate well with what patients ...

UNLABELLED The superantigenic properties of Staphylococcus aureus have been implicated in increasing the inflammatory process in airway diseases. Local formation of IgE antibodies against staphylococcal enterotoxins by secondary lymphoid tissue in nasal polyps has been demonstrated. Staphylococcus aureus is known to colonize the nasal mucosa, and has been found invading the nasal submucosa and ...

Nasal or nasopharyngeal tuberculosis (TB) is rare, and the literature is limited to isolated case reports. The anatomic location is a major field of ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists, especially rhinologists. Initial symptoms of nasal and naso-pharyngeal TB are nonspecific, and it is, therefore, a challenge for rhinology specialists to diagnose rhinologic TB earlier. We reviewed medical r...
