introduction: a reduction or cessation of the ability to breathe through the nose can affect a person's overall health. nasal passage blockage can also result in snoring. difficulty in breathing through the nose after rhinoplasty is a serious problem and patient dissatisfaction can be significant even when cosmetic results are excellent. long-term impacts on the quality of life and contrib...

Statistical results are presented from Polax/CAMMICE measurements of events during which the plasma sheet ions have penetrated deeply into the inner magnetosphere. Owing to their characteristic structure in energy-time spectrograms, these events are called "intense nose events." Almost 400 observations of such structures were made during 1997. Intense nose events axe shown to be more frequent i...

purpose: to report two cases of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (gpa) presented ocular manifestations. cases report: we report two cases of scleritis with red eye, one of them was a 30 years old female patient with saddle nose and positive c-anca and the other one was a 56 year-old female patient with lung cavitation and positive c-anca. both cases undergone corticosteroid and immunosuppressiv...

1 Introduction 1.1. Background With the realization that introspection and the use of dictionaries constitute a precarious foundation for studies of metaphor and metonymy, corpora have in recent years been used increasingly in the endeavour to explore the authentic use of figurative language (see, e.g. Deignan 2005; Stefanowitsch and Gries 2006). Similarly, investigations of phraseology (e.g. M...

This article examines the spatial variability of dust concentrations within a coal miner's breathing zone and the impact of sampling location at the cap lamp, nose, and lapel. Tests were conducted in the National Institute for Safety and Health Pittsburgh Research Laboratory full-scale, continuous miner gallery using three prototype personal dust monitors (PDM). The dust masses detected by the ...

background staphylococcus aureus is a significant pathogen that can colonize the nares of different animals, causing a wide range of infections in various hosts. objectives we intended to determine the prevalence of s. aureus in the nasal cavity of healthy ruminants and also to investigate the presence of antibiotic resistance genes. materials and methods in the present study, healthy cattle (n...

leprosy is an infectious and non-fatal disease that mainly involved skin and peripheral nervous system and caused by mycobacterium lepra. this case is a 41-year-old woman with intermittent nasal bleeding and a mass (1.5×2.5 cm) in the right side of lateral nasal wall and a (1×1 cm) mass on septum in the left side of the nose. considering the probability of intranasal tumor, endoscopic biopsy fo...

introduction: nose morphology depends on gender, ethnicity, and environmental conditions. it can be used in identification of the race and sex of persons whose identity is unknown. nasal index is a useful tool in anthropometry. methods: in this study, nasal parameters of iranian males and females students were measured (nasal height, nasal width, and nasal index). this study was conducted on 20...

Nasal bone fractures are often accompanied by septal fractures or deformity. Posttraumatic nasal deformity is usually caused by septal fractures. Submucosal resection and septoplasty are commonly used surgical techniques for the correction of septal deviation. However, septal perforation or saddle nose deformity is a known complication of submucosal resection. Hence, we chose to perform septopl...

Septal deviation constitutes an important component of both esthetic deformity and airway compromise in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP). The posterior parts of the nasal septum presented greater deviation than the anterior parts in patients with complete unilateral CLP. Le Fort I down-fracture provides better access to the nasal septum than intranasal incision during rhinoplasty, espec...
