The treatment of deformities of the nasal septum and the hypertrophy of the turbinates is necessary because in many of these cases the deformity is of exclusive respiratory cause, in which case the patient will be submitted to maxillary impaction to correct this vertical skeletal growth pattern. When impacting the maxilla, it is a fact that the nasal cavity will be diminished, because when the ...

The temperature-sensitive mutant strain, ts-S34, of Bordetella bronchiseptica, which cannot grow at or above the temperature 34 degrees C, has been studied in guinea pigs. The strain grew to moderate numbers in the nasal turbinates but did not grow in the lungs. Guinea pigs given strain ts-S34 developed moderate levels of serum antibody. This strain also induced very high resistance to subseque...

Background: This is a case study of 70 cases admitted in our hospital post covid-19 infection with different complaints and signs symptoms indicating Rhino-Orbital-Cerebral-mucormycosis (ROCM). Materials Methods: All the were again screened for COVID infections comorbidities like Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension or any other immunocompromised state. The level involvement nasal cavity, septum, tu...

Purpose: to analyze the correlation between values of nasal aeration and geometry cavities, before after cleansing in children with mouth breathing. Methods: 20 aged 4 12 years old were chosen. The questionnaire Identification Index Signs Symptoms Oral breathing was applied patency assessed by aeration, through Altmann graded mirror, measured acoustic rhinometry. After massage, same measurement...

OBJECTIVES This computational study aims to (1) use virtual surgery to theoretically investigate the maximum possible change in nasal aerodynamics after turbinate surgery, (2) quantify the relative contributions of the middle and inferior turbinates to nasal resistance and air conditioning, and (3) quantify to what extent total turbinectomy impairs the nasal air-conditioning capacity. STUDY D...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nasal septal deviation (NSD) is often associated with overgrowth of the unilateral inferior turbinate. In vivo and in vitro studies indicate that human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are able to differentiate into multiple cell types, including osteoblasts. We tested the hypothesis that turbinate size affects human turbinate-derived MSC (hTMSCs) quantity, proliferation,...
