The lateral wall of the nostril is considered as the functional unit in the regulation of the nasal
resistance causing more than half of the total resistance. In 16 test-subjects both nostrils …

on nasal resistance to airflow A study of 18 patients with chronic rhinitis who underwent …

Airflow dynamics are recognized as being important to the functioning of the human nose in
conditioning and filtering inspired air, yet these dynamics are poorly understood. Despite …

OBJECTIVES: Nasal valve collapse is a common cause of nasal airway obstruction.
Although many techniques have been devised to correct both the functional and aesthetic …

We have developed a discrete multisegmental model describing the coupling between
inspiratory flow and nasal wall distensibility. This model is composed of 14 individualized …

A method for measuring human nasal airflow resistance (Rnaw) is described. Air flows at
constant pressure through both nasal cavities via a face mask and out through the mouth …

OBSTRUCTION in the nasal passages has been shown to affect the mechanics of breathing.
1 It follows that pulmonary function may be related to the nose, and that the function of the …
