A new species of Microhyla frog from the Nilphamari district of Bangladesh is described and compared with its morphologically similar and geographically proximate congeners. Molecular phylogeny derived from mitochondrial DNA sequences revealed that although the new species--designated here as Microhyla nilphamariensis sp. nov.--forms a clade with M. ornate, it is highly divergent from M. ornata...

It is known that olfaction and vision can work in tandem to represent object identities. What is yet unclear is the stage of the sensory processing hierarchy at which the two types of inputs converge. Here we study this issue through a well established visual phenomenon termed binocular rivalry. We show that smelling an odor from one nostril significantly enhances the dominance time of the cong...

Abstract The weaning period is a stressful time for beef calves because they must quickly gain independence from their dam. Gradual methods of weaning, such as when the calf fitted with nose flap to prevent suckling, are known reduce behavioral and physiological indicators stress. Nose flaps held in place by nasal septum worn 4 7 d. In present study, objectives were 1) identify if plastic d cau...

The first mention of epistaxis in medical literature dates back in the year 18672. Bleeding originating from the anterior nasal cavity was managed with packing the nostril with pledgets. When the bleeding was originating from the posterior nasal cavity, a pledget secured in a wire was passed down the nostril to tamponade the posterior nasal space and arrest the bleed. In 1901, McKenzie started ...

We present the case of a 9-year-old male patient, lacking morbid antecedents, referred to our service due to 2 episodes of massive epistaxis. The first one was selflimiting, while the second required anterior nasal packing. Physical examination revealed a tumour in the left nostril, with a vascularised appearance. The initial diagnosis was nasopharyngeal angiofibroma, due to the appearance of t...

In the morning of 12th February 1873, a girl, aged about 5 years, was brought to the dispensary by her mother, who stated that she had for a long time noticed something in the right nostril of the girl, which impeded her respiratiou to a slight extent, and which she was very anxious to have extracted. On making an examination I saw a small oval body in the right nostril, which I thought to be u...

(Objective)Breathing can be measured in a non-contact method using thermal camera. The objective of this study investigates breathing measurements cameras, which have previously been limited to measuring the nostril only from front where it is clearly visible. previous challenging use for other angles and frontal views, not well-represented. In paper, we defined new region called breathing-asso...
