Foreign bodies lodged in the upper airway are a common occurrence in children. Many unusual foreign bodies in the nose have been reported as foreign bodies like nuts, plastic toy parts, beads, and so forth. Most of these produce minimal morbidity but button batteries due to their early chemical disintegration require early surgical intervention. Here, we report a case of button battery lodged i...

Background: Nasal obstruction is a common problem in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Systematic evaluation of nasal obstruction remains challenging due to the high number of variables and factors that contribute to nasal obstruction. Nasal examination by means of anterior rhinoscopy is limited to the evaluation of anterior septal deviation, internal nasal valve angle, and inferior ...

benign fibrous histiocytoma is a rare tumor of nose and paranasal sinuses that originates from histiocytes. ‎‎the main symptoms of patients are nasal obstruction and nasal mass. ‎our patient was presented with chief complaints of nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea non responsive to antibiotic treatment. in computed tomography scan a giant mass in left maxillary sinus and ipsilateral nasal cavity ...

Abstract Introduction The association between nasal measures and polygsomnography is modest. However, treatment can improve sleep quality in people without apnea. of apnea clinical patients with unknown. Our primary hypothesis that the subjective obstruction associated reduced apnea-specific life at baseline after 6 months. Methods This prospective cohort study included newly diagnosed who were...

BACKGROUND Septoplasty is a common procedure performed for the primary indication of nasal airway obstruction. Physical examination with anterior rhinoscopy (AR) and nasal endoscopy (NE) is considered the gold standard for detecting and rating septal deviation. Computed tomography (CT) can also be used to evaluate the nasal septum. Otolaryngologists may use CT in selecting surgical candidates, ...

background: indian tea industry workers are exposed to various exposures at their workplace. objective: to investigate the respiratory health of indian tea industry workers. methods: we administered a respiratory questionnaire to and measured lung function in workers of 34 tea gardens and 46 tea factories. we used correlation matrices to test the association between their respiratory symptoms a...

Two studies were carried out to test the hypothesis that the fall and recovery of nasal resistance after exercise in asthmatic and non-asthmatic subjects are related to the development of bronchoconstriction after exercise. In study 1 nasal resistance (posterior rhinomanometry) and specific airway resistance (sRaw) were measured before challenge and one, five, 10 and 30 minutes after four minut...

BACKGROUND Packing after closed reduction of a nasal bone fracture causes inconvenient nasal obstruction in patients. We packed the superior meatus with Vaseline gauze to support the nasal bone, and packed the middle nasal meatus with a Doyle Combo Splint consisting of an airway tube, a silastic sheet, and an expandable sponge to reduce the inconvenience. In addition, we aimed to objectively id...
