The causal relation between anatomical variations of the nose and headaches and facial pain is analyzed through literature review of the topic. The pathogenesis that can be involved in this relation proves to be wider than simple alteration of nasal septum and turbinates that can cause mechanical stimulus through contact between these structures, which covers infectious factors, neurogenic infl...

Previously published Photo Quizzes are now featured in a mobile app. Get more information at http:// www.aafp.org/afp/apps. A nine-year-old Vietnamese girl presented with an erythematous rash on her back that appeared suddenly one day prior. She also had upper respiratory tract symptoms, including nasal congestion, sore throat, nonproductive cough, and a fever of 102°F (38.9°C) for three days. ...

We describe the successful use of the short-acting, non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent, mivacurium, in a 53-yr-old female patient with late onset congenital myopathy, undergoing elective submucous resection of the inferior turbinates. She was unable to climb stairs and walking was limited to periods of 15 min because of generalized weakness, fatigue and shortness of breath. A Datex R...

The greatest challenge in primary aesthetic rhinoplasty is the application of advanced anatomical, aesthetic and ethnic principles to an individual case, thereby customizing the procedure to achieve the most natural result for the patient‐individualized treatment plan.[1,2] Specific factors to be noted during the preoperative assessment for the optimization of aesthetic results include the pati...

We report clinical and pathological features of enzootic nasal adenocarcinoma (ENA) in one sheep in Algeria. A one-year-old Ouled Djellal sheep from a large herd (~1240 animals), located in Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria, was clinically diagnosed by the presence of persistent seromucous nasal discharge, head shaking, muzzle licking, dyspnoea, exophthalmia and frontal protrusion. The sheep was euth...

Bradykinin (BK) has been tobe thought a potent mediator involved in allergic rhinitis because BK was recovered from the nasal lavage fluid of allergic rhinitis patients after allergen provocation and BK receptor antagonists relief nasal allergic symptoms. Two mammalian BK receptor subtypes, B1 and B2, have been defined based on their pharmacological properties. We investigated the localization ...

Leukotrienes have been implicated as important mediator in a bronchial asthma. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degree of participation of leukotrienes on onset of symptoms of nasal allergy. We measured leukotriene C4 and D4 (LTC4 and LTD4) in nasal secretion by radioimmunoassay combined with high performance liquid chromatography. This method is superior to the one previously repor...

peripheral t-cell lymphomas are a group of heterogeneous disorders and according to who classification, are categorized into nodal and extranodal forms. nk/t-cell lymphoma, nasal type, is a subtype of extranodal peripheral t-cell lymphoma and commonly presents as a midfacial destructive lesion. this disorder is more prevalent in asia and south america and has a strong association with epstein b...

OBJECTIVE This study represents an attempt to simulate the complex three-dimensional airflow pattern in the human nasal passageways. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study the computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been used. The CFD solved numerically the flow governing equations. The CFD demonstrated to be a very efficient tool for researching on nasal flow. RESULTS By means of CT sc...

Thirty-six crossbred gilts 10 months of age were bred and assigned to dietary magnesium levels of 400 or 900 ppm. At parturit ion the levels were modified to 150 and 650 ppm. During lactation phosphorus levels of .30 or .54% were fed within each magnesium level. Magnesium levels did not influence the number or weight of pigs at birth or weaning. Sows fed the high level of magnesium (650 ppm) ma...
