Traditional research methodologies in the human respiratory system have always been
challenging due to their invasive nature. Recent advances in medical imaging and …

Syringomyelia is a neurological disorder caused by the development of one or more
macroscopic fluid-filled cavities in the spinal cord. While the aetiology remains uncertain …

Introduction: The effectiveness of drug delivery to the lungs is inextricably linked to the
fundamental interactions that occur between particles and flow in the extrathoracic airway …

Abstract Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder characterized by
repetitive collapse of the upper airway (UA). One treatment option is a mandibular …

OBJECTIVE: To establish the feasibility of a noninvasive method to identify pharyngeal
airflow characteristics in sleep-disordered breathing. METHODS: Four patients with sleep …

Nasal obstruction frequently has been associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Although correction of an obstructed nasal airway is considered an important component in …

The changes of the upper airway after large retraction of the incisors in adult class I
bimaxillary protrusion patients were assessed mainly focused on the anatomic variation and …

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach is used to study the respiratory airflow
dynamics within a human upper airway. The airway model which consists of the airway from …

This study reconstructed a three dimensional fluid/structure interaction (FSI) model to
investigate the compliance of human soft palate during calm respiration. Magnetic …

Abstract The classical Starling Resistor model has been the paradigm of airway collapse in
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for the last 30 years. Its theoretical framework is grounded on …
