The effect of raising the airways resistance of 56 normal newborn babies by blocking alternate nostrils was studied by means of oesophageal intubation and the trunk plethysmograph. Increased resistance was associated with reduced respiratory rate and ventilation. A comparison was made of the response in different sleep states. In rapid eye movement (REM) sleep respiratory tidal volume decreased...

Chemicals selectively stimulating the olfactory nerve typically cannot be localized in a lateralization task. Purpose of this study was to investigate whether the ability of subjects to localize an olfactory stimulus delivered passively to 1 of the 2 nostrils would improve under training. Fifty-two young, normosmic women divided in 2 groups participated. One group performed olfactory lateraliza...

1,2 An 82-year-old male presented with dysphagia to solids and liquids, weight loss, odynophagia and left cervical pain for two months. Fever or night sweats were not reported. An otorhinolaryngological examination revealed permeable nostrils, free cavum, erythema of the arytenoid mucosa, and a suspicion of a malignant lesion in the left arytenoepiglottic fold. No lymphadenopathy of significant...

This study investigated differences in olfactory cognitive functions, in 40 healthy young right-handed participants, with respect to side of rhinal stimulation. The targeted functions were: perceived familiarity, episodic recognition memory, free identification and repetition priming in identification. The results showed that odors presented to the right nostril were rated as more familiar than...

A new method for segmenting facial feature regions (e.g. eyebrows, iris, lips, nostrils, ...), in images and video sequences based on graph homomorphisms is introduced in this paper. Firstly, we apply a recently proposed technique based on Gabor Wavelet Networks (GWN) to obtain an approximate location of the facial feature regions in the image. The image is then oversegmented using the watershe...

Falcons in the Middle East are naturally exposed to Avipoxvirus through...

The larval morphology of Hypsiboas leptolineatus was studied. The tadpole has an ovoid body in lateral view, wider than deep; snout rounded with dorsal reniform nostrils; spiracle sinistral with lateral wall attached to body; anal tube dextral; tail fins convex with acuminate tip; oral disc ventral; labial tooth row formula is 2(2)/3(1); moderately developed beaks with serrated jaw sheaths. The...

a lien's egg lying across the rima glottidis, which the action of vomiting brought into view, occupying the whole of the isthmus faucium. He stated that about three months ago it began to trouble him by obstructing breathing and deglutition, since which time it has increased rapidly until he could eat no thick food, and nearly all the fluids he tried to swallow came back through the nostrils. P...

Human face detection plays an important role in application such as video surveillance, human computer interface, face recognition and face image database management. Automatic detection of facial features of image is an important stage of various image interpretation works, such as facial expression recognition, face recognition, facial features tracking and 3D face modeling etc. Detection of ...

defendant of the Acts: "I am astounded at the audacity of his declaration 'Our profession and our profession alone has a right to dictate ...' in the matter of the Contagious Diseases Acts! This kind of assertion, which I fear expresses the opinion of some of these aristocratic doctors is calculated to make the medical profession (as a friend expressed it) 'stink in the nostrils of the moral an...
