Studies have found that in healthy individuals without nasal disease, changes in posture cause an increase in nasal resistance, especially in the prone posture. Many patients with obstructive sleep ap...
We evaluated the nasal patency of 29 patients diagnosed with OSAS using the visual analog scale (VAS), acoustic rhinometry, and video-endoscopy in the sitting, supine, and prone postures....
In the OSAS group, both supine and prone postures significantly influenced subjective nasal blockage and led to a notable reduction in the minimal cross-sectional area (mCSA) as determined by acoustic...
In OSAS patients, nasal resistance significantly increased in supine and prone postures compared to sitting, with the prone posture showing a greater effect. Clinicians should consider a patient's hab...
The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) is a questionnaire to assess patients with nasal obstruction. The aim of this study was to translate and validate NOSE to the Malay version NOSE (M-NOSE...
The NOSE questionnaire was translated to Malay language and back to English. Psychometric properties consisting of reliability, reproducibility, validity, responsiveness were appraised in patients wit...
A total of 126 participants were recruited. There was significant difference between patients and controls for all items and the total score (all...
The M-NOSE has satisfactory reliability, internal consistency, reproducibility and responsiveness. It is a valid and convenient tool in the assessment of the impact and treatment outcome of nasal obst...
The airway must not be ignored in cosmetic rhinoplasty operations, and it is important to address the 4 areas that restrict airflow namely the septum, the turbinates, the mid-vault, and the external n...

378 adults (≥18 years, 67% men) newly referred with symptoms of nasal obstruction associated with septal deviation and at least moderate symptoms of nasal obstruction (score >30 on the Nasal Obstructi...
Participants were randomised 1:1 to receive either septoplasty (n=188) or defined medical management (n=190, nasal steroid and saline spray for six months), stratified by baseline symptom severity and...
The primary outcome measure was patient reported score on the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) at six months, with 9 points defined as the minimal clinically important difference. Secondary outcom...
Mean SNOT-22 scores at six months were 19.9 (95% confidence interval 17.0 to 22.7) in the septoplasty arm (n=152, intention-to-treat population) and 39.5 (36.1 to 42.9) in the medical management arm (...
Septoplasty is a more effective intervention than a defined medical management regimen with a nasal steroid and saline spray in adults with nasal obstruction associated with a deviated nasal septum....

Upper respiratory tract complaints are common in the general population. A safe, non-pharmacologic treatment would be an attractive option for many patients either as an alternative to existing therap...
Subjects with a known history of nasal congestion, but without fixed anatomical obstruction, participated in a prospective clinical study. Efficacy was assessed using peak nasal inspiratory flow (NPIF...
Twenty-one subjects (mean age 37 years; 43% female) were enrolled in the study. After treatment with the small nasal airflow oscillation device for twenty minutes, average NPIF increased significantly...
Treatment of nasal congestion with the nasal airflow oscillation device was found to result in significant improvement in NPIF after twenty minutes of use. Initial patient-reported outcomes improved s...

There are many concepts for surgical management of the nasal tip with varying outcomes on esthetics and nasal function. Nasal tip surgery can influence nasal function based on how the techniques can a...
Exercise-induced rhinitis (EIR) is a poorly understood phenomenon that may be related to increased inspiratory airflow. Characterization of the development of EIR is important to understand contributi...
To characterize how different nasal morphologies respond to airflow-related variables during rapid/deep inspiratory conditions....
Subject-specific nasal airways were reconstructed from radiographic images. Unilateral airways were classified as Standard, Notched, or Elongated accord to their distinct nasal vestibule morphology. C...
For all simulated flow rates, average resistance at the nasal vestibule, airflow velocity and wall sheer stress were highest in Notched. Average mucosal heat flux was highest in Standard. Notched phen...
Resistance values and airflow velocities depicted a more constricted nasal vestibule in the Notched phenotypes, while perception of nasal mucosal cooling (heat flux) favored the Standard phenotypes. D...

Sickle cell disease is the most frequent of the hereditary hemoglobinopathies and it presents multisystemic effects. A manifestation that is commonly found in sickle cell disease is upper airway obstr...
This is a case-control study on children aged between 8 and 15 years who were diagnosed with sickle cell disease. Peak nasal inspiratory flow measurements were obtained from patients....
A total of 279 patients were enrolled in this study, with 93 in the case group and 186 in the control group. The case group had an 82.83% chance of having lower peak nasal inspiratory flow values than...
This study showed a high prevalence of reduced peak nasal inspiratory flow values in children with sickle cell disease and could certainly be incorporated into the day-to-day clinical evaluation of pa...
