Over the years, the scarring can tighten, further causing the…

L-Loss of joint space O-Osteopyhtes S-Subcondral sclerosis S-Subchondral cysts X-Ray PNS Paranasal sinuses are air containing chambers surrounding the nasal cavity. Different Pathological conditions involving the sinuses, may present as alterations in the translucency of the sinuses on the radiograph. Some pathological conditions affecting the para nasal sinuses may produce fluid hence effort should be made to demonstrate this fluid level. The radiographic positions used to study paranasal…

for people. Rhinoplasty, which is usually referred to as a nose job, is the surgical procedure to correct the nose.

almost reaching normal nasality. There was persistence of hyponasality in some patents due to nasal mucosal edema caused by allergic rhinitis and one patient who developed a hypernasal voice following the removal of the lymphoid tissues from the pharynx which eventually resolved over time to become normal nasality. Hence other associated causes for hyponasality such as allergy or a deviated nasal septum must be kept in mind when considering causes for persistence of the hyponasal voice following…

ventilation, and external respiration. There are two zones of the respiratory system, the conducting zone and the respiratory zone. The conducting zone is comprised of structured conduits for air to flow to sites of gas exchange and includes the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi. The respiratory zone is a site of gas exchange…
