background the efficiency of nasal surgeries can be determined by objective or subjective methods. we have assessed the effect of nasal obstruction after different nasal surgeries using acoustic rhinometry (ar) and nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (nose) scale. methods between may 2011 and may 2012, 40 young adult patients and 10 healthy volunteers as control group who referred to otorhinol...

introduction: this study was performed to evaluate the correlation between the objective and subjective sensation of nasal patency, assessed through a validated questionnaire, the italian version of the nose scale, and the rhinomanometric results in a large cohort of patients complaining about nasal obstruction.     materials and methods: data was obtained from a total of 233 adult patients, (1...

IMPORTANCE Rhinoplasty continues to rank among the most popular cosmetic surgical treatments. Measuring what the nose looks like has typically involved the use of observer-reported or physician-reported outcome measures (eg, photographs). While objective outcomes are important, facial appearance is subjective, and asking patients what they think about the appearance of their nose is of paramoun...

This research uses the boundary cutting, spatial-temporal segmentation, block based searching, and gray scale histogram technique to extract the eyes, nose, and mouth images. In this research, gray scale histograms are used to salient the eyes, nose, and mouth features. A spatial-temporal template is designed to slide the eyes, nose, and mouth images to extract the eyes, nose, and mouth image. ...

OBJECTIVE To report the long-term efficacy of a modified extracorporeal septoplasty technique in the treatment of anterocaudal septal deviations. STUDY DESIGN Case series with chart review. SETTING Academic tertiary care medical center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Data were obtained by a retrospective review of patients treated by a single surgeon (S.P.M.) from December 2010 to April 2014. A tot...

Identification of preoperative signs and symptoms that may predict the outcome of surgery is important, for both patient selection and the development of interventions for improving outcomes. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of some selected preoperative signs and symptoms for predicting outcomes of nasal septoplasty. Patients undergoing septoplasty with or without turbinoplast...

The development of highly sensitive, selective, reliable, and compact sensing systems to detect toxic chemical and biological agents is of great importance to national security. This paper examines the best such naturally occurring sensing system, the sense of smell or " olfaction, " as well as artificial sensing systems built to emulate the nose. The goal is to combine lessons learned from nat...
