Nasal cavity

Nasal congestion is caused by cold, flue or allergy or even due to dry air and air pollution. Suffering will be due to swelling of nasal membrane and too much mucus production inside the nose creating obstacles for draining mucus produced in sinus cavities. Difficulties in breathing easily with a feeling of hitch to draw in air into lungs make one bound to inhale air through mouth. This congestion also causes tremendous headache that increases the suffering. Staying in an air conditioned room…

Rhinitis has several symptoms associated with it, they include sneezing, congestion, itching of the nasal cavity, and rhinorrhea (this is where the nasal cavity is filled with large amount of mucus). This condition is commonly known as a runny nose, that occurs quite frequently and the most common allergy symptom known as hay fever. Moreover, allergic rhinitis is classified as intermittent and is very persistent, in other words those who have chronic rhinitis will always have this problem and…

administered through parenteral and rectal routes. The alternation that we propose is a different route of administration. The development of a nasal solution could be beneficial to many patients. Common side effects we hope to eliminate through the use of a nasal formula are abdomen pain, nausea, heartburn, peptic ulcer bleeds, and vomiting. This is possible because a nasal spray would bypass going into the digestive system by going directly into the circulatory system. This will also increase…

in the bony structures of the skull (Tirumandas et al, 2013). There are four classifications of encephaloceles: frontoethmoidal, basal, occipital, and cranial vault. Classifications are based on the type of defect and its location on the skull. Nasal or frontoethmoidal encephaloceles are the most common. Pathophysiology Although poorly understood, there are different theories as to the cause of encephaloces. Like with most disorders, the pathogenesis of encelphaloceles has been…

people think that their cancer symptoms are really just allergies or nasal pressure from a cold. Treatments include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Sinus tumors are most common in Japan and South Africa and in men over 55 years old. The survival rate depends on what stage the cancer is when treatment begins. Symptoms of sinus tumors are usually passed off as less severe nasal conditions, such as allergies, sinus infections, nasal congestion, facial pain, and runny nose. It is not until…

The resonatory system includes the nasal cavity and soft palate and portions of the anatomically defined respiratory and digestive systems. (Seikel, King, & Drumright, 2010). One disorder that may affect a person’s ability to use the resonatory system to produce sufficient speech is velopharyngeal insufficiency, or VPI. This is a disorder which results in the improper closure of the velopharyngeal sphincter (soft palate muscle in the mouth) during speech, allowing air to escape through the nose…

Bones that were taken from the body at the crime scene went under much analysis in order to determine the gender, race, height, and age of the missing person that was retrieved. The first part of data was retrieved in order to determine the gender of the missing person. The pelvic bone was analyzed first. The first measurement made was for the degree of the Sub-Pubic angle and gave forth the measurement of 84 degrees. This test, however, was redone and the final determination of the angle is…

Our journey begins with a molecule of rich oxygen. As we enter the nose, the oxygen makes its way through the nose hairs and into the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is lined with mucous so there are no unwanted bacteria traveling with us. After floating a rough trip through the hairs and mucous, we make our way to the sinuses. These sinuses are air pockets in the skull; we’ll only be here for a little while. The sinuses are lined with mucus and cilia to again stop any bacteria or unwanted air…

salmonella and other harmful bacteria. Cilia: The human’s nose contains small hairs called cilia, that are only seen with a microscope. These hairs protect our respiratory system in many ways; firstly, nasal hairs keep out most of the dust and larger microorganisms from entering the nasal cavity, then sticky mucus and cilia works together by trapping and removing any dust or pathogens from the air as it flows…

Nasometer What is it? A non-invasive, real-time, computer-software supported instrument that measures the acoustic energy of the nasal and oral cavity during speech tasks. Nasometry software collects and calculates the (nasal plus oral) data to determine a ratio converted to an average nasalance score. Nasalance Score: N ÷ (N + O) x 100.) Purpose: A tool to assess velopharyngeal function; including hyponasality, hypernasality, airway obstruction, and resonance disorders. Often used in cleft…
