INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)", If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

  • Empty Nose Syndrome

    Empty Nose Syndrome

    EMPTY NOSE SYNDROME 1 Empty Nose Syndrome 1.1 Definition The descriptive term “Empty nose syndrome” (ENS) was first coined by Kern and Stenkvist in 1994, who described the condition with substantial loss of tissue inside the nose in the region of the inferior and middle turbinates as “empty nose” (Scheithauer, 2010). “Empty nose” patients suffer from chronic nasal crusting, dryness, and intermittent bleeding. The most distinctive symptom of ENS is “paradoxical obstruction”- in that the patient suffers from difficulty breathing despite a widely patent nasal airway (Sozansky & Houser, 2014). ENS patients describe their feeling of nasal obstruction as constant and continuous: feeling of suffocation, inability or significant difficulty to breathe through their nose, feeling that their nose is too open, sensation of excessive airflow, shortness of breath, difficulty to properly inflate the lungs, lack of nasal resistance, and/or undifferentiated breathing difficulties (Houser, 2006; Houser, 2007; Chhabra & Houser, 2009; Scheithauer, 2010; Coste et al, 2012). 1.2 Primary symptoms ENS patients may experience various debilitating and devastating symptoms, in varying degrees, that can occur after excessive resection of functioning turbinate tissue from the nasal cavity (Moore & Kern, 2001). While the primary symptom is nasal airway obstruction, other symptoms depend upon the type of surgery, extent of functional nasal tissue removal, nature of the bacterial organisms growing inside the nasal cavity, and other unidentified factors. The set and level of severity of symptoms depends upon each individual case. ENS-related symptoms can be divided into three major categories and may include: Respiratory: paradoxical obstruction (feeling of suffocation, inability or significant difficulty to breathe through the nose, feeling that the nose is too open, sensation of excessive airflow, lack of nasal resistance, shortness of breath (dyspnea), difficulty to properly inflate the lungs, difficulty drawing a full breath, weakened airflow, and undifferentiated breathing difficulties) 1.

This information is distributed solely for the purpose of pre dissemination public comment under applicable information quality guidelines. It has not been formally disseminated by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any agency determination or policy. ***DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT*** ACETONE iii FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for these toxic substances described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The focus of the profiles is on health and toxicologic information; therefore, each toxicological profile begins with a relevance to public health discussion which would allow a public health professional to make a real-time determination of whether the presence of a particular substance in the environment poses a potential threat to human health.

Also, the effect of geometric features of nasal cavities on their airflow is evaluated in this study. The actual geometry of the respiratory tract was extracted from CT-Scan medical images of a healthy person using image processing software. The flow is evaluated in laminar and steady states. The airflow rate at nasal entrances was assumed to be 20 L/min, which is related to sitting and resting situations. The movement and deposition of particles with a diameter of 1-30 micrometers in different parts of the human respiratory system have also been evaluated. The fluid field and movements of solid particles were evaluated by Eulerian and Lagrangian methods, respectively. Based on the obtained results, the greater the diameter of the particles, the more particles will be deposited in the nasal cavity. Introduction The research of Zachow et al.

    Nasal Breathing No Tongue Habits Lip Seal Corruption of the “Big 3” Is the Root Cause of Nearly All Malocclusions

    Timothy Gross, DMD Part One In the Physiologic Orthodontics class at the Las Vegas Institute, we focus heavily on the “Big 3.” Orthodontic treatment and post treatment orthodontic stability necessitate management and correction of the “Big 3.” So, what is the “Big 3?” 1 2 3 Nasal Breathing No Tongue Habits Lip Seal Corruption of the “Big 3” is the root cause of nearly all malocclusions. That’s right. Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions, crowding, deficient midfaces, cross bites, impacted teeth, high palatal arches, deep bites, open bites (and the list goes on) can all be explained by Enlow in his textbook, “The Essentials of Facial Growth.” That textbook is paramount for understanding normal facial growth and development and should be required reading for every dentist and dental specialist. Malocclusions, so predominant in our society, cannot be explained by genetics alone. Our phenotype, i.e. our genome in addition to environmental influences, is the result of corruption of the “Big 3.” The inability to breathe nasally, habitual mouth straight and make the upper and lower teeth couple breathing, and/or tongue habits lead to altered nicely.

    In Vitro Evaluation of Nasal Aerosol Depositions: an Insight for Direct Nose to Brain Drug Delivery

    pharmaceutics Review In Vitro Evaluation of Nasal Aerosol Depositions: An Insight for Direct Nose to Brain Drug Delivery Aida Maaz, Ian S. Blagbrough * and Paul A. De Bank Department of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, University of Bath, Bath BA2 7AY, UK; [email protected] (A.M.); [email protected] (P.A.D.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-1225-386-795 Abstract: The nasal cavity is an attractive route for both local and systemic drug delivery and holds great potential for access to the brain via the olfactory region, an area where the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is effectively absent. However, the olfactory region is located at the roof of the nasal cavity and only represents ~5–7% of the epithelial surface area, presenting significant challenges for the deposition of drug molecules for nose to brain drug delivery (NTBDD). Aerosolized particles have the potential to be directed to the olfactory region, but their specific deposition within this area is confounded by a complex combination of factors, which include the properties of the formulation, the delivery device and how it is used, and differences in inter-patient physiology. In this review, an in-depth examination of these different factors is provided in relation to both in vitro and in vivo studies and how advances in the fabrication of nasal cast models and analysis of aerosol deposition can be utilized to predict in vivo outcomes more accurately. The challenges faced in assessing the nasal deposition of aerosolized particles within the paediatric population are specifically considered, representing an unmet need for nasal and NTBDD to treat CNS disorders.
