  1. 1. Olfactory function after total laryngectomy in Swedish patients after rehabilitation with the Nasal Airflow-Inducing Maneuver

    Författare :Birgit Risberg-Berlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :olfaction; total laryngectomy; Nasal Airflow-Inducing Maneuver; health-related quality of life;

    Sammanfattning : After a total laryngectomy the upper and lower airways are disconnected resulting in a wide range of adverse effects, e.g. deterioration of nasal functions in breathing, loss or decrease of normal sense of smell and taste, as well as loss of normal voice. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Aerodynamic assessment of velopharyngeal function in speech

    Författare :Hans Dotevall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Speech production measurements; speech aerodynamics; velopharyngeal function; nasal airflow; perceptual speech evaluation; hypernasality; cleft palate speech; sleep disordered breathing; snoring; sleep apnea;

    Sammanfattning : Velopharyngeal function in speech was assessed by aerodynamic techniques, which were developed and tested. Temporal and dynamic characteristics of the nasal airflow pattern during the velopharyngeal closing phase in speech were studied in different patient groups. Its validity in relation to listener's perceptual evaluation of speech was analyzed. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Nasal epithelial cells : innate immunity and inflammation

    Författare :Lotta Tengroth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The surface epithelium that lines the nasal passages is often the first tissue in the airway to encounter inhaled pathogens. It collaborates closely with the innate immune system, a subsystem of the immune system that defends the host from infection by organisms, mainly by initiating a local inflammatory reaction. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Humming, nitric oxide and paranasal sinus ventilation

    Författare :Mauro Maniscalco; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The paranasal sinuses are air-filled bony cavities surrounding the nose. They communicate with the nose via the sinus ostia through which fluid and gases pass in both directions. A proper ventilation is crucial for sinus integrity and blockage of the ostia is a major risk factor for development of sinusitis. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Paediatric sleep-disordered breathing - diagnostics and treatment

    Författare :Gunnhildur Gudnadottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleep-disordered breathing; Children; Tonsillectomy; Tonsillotomy; Absenteeism; Intranasal steroid treatment; Respiratory polygraphy; RIP flow;

    Sammanfattning : Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children causes multiple health problems and diminished quality of life. It is usually caused by tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy and is traditionally treated with adenotonsillar surgery. LÄS MER
