The transport and deposition (TD) of inhaled aerosol particles in airways of human lungs are
important for therapeutically targeted drug delivery in respiratory tracts. The airflow and …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity might be correlated to the flow characteristics of the
upper airways. We aimed to investigate the severity of OSA based on 3D models …

Objective Adjuvant management for laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) may involve inhaled
corticosteroids, but metered dose inhalers are designed for pulmonary drug delivery …

Pediatric upper airway disorders are frequently life-threatening and require precise
assessment and intervention. Targeting these pathologies remains a challenge for clinicians …

Rationale: Neonates with respiratory issues are frequently treated with aerosolized
medications to manage lung disease or facilitate airway clearance. Dynamic tracheal …

Subglottic stenosis represents a challenging clinical condition in otolaryngology. Although
patients often experience improvement following endoscopic surgery, recurrence rates …

Background In respiratory fluid dynamics research, it is typically assumed that the wall of the
trachea is smooth. However, the trachea is structurally supported by a series of cartilaginous …

Tracheal flow in infants with congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) was numerically investigated
using subject-specific airway models before and after reconstructive surgery. We quantified …

This study aimed to analyze pharyngeal airflow characteristics and their relationship with the
skeletal movement of the maxilla and mandible after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in …

Abstract According to the World Health Organization, unhealthy air causes respiratory and
cardiovascular diseases worldwide, moreover, children are particularly susceptible and …
