Correlation of nasal morphology to air-conditioning and clearance function

White, DE; Al-Jumaily, AM; Bartley, J; Lu, J (AUT University, Elsevier; 2011)

Nasal morphology plays an important functional role in the maintenance of upper airway health. Identification of functional regions, based on morphological attributes, assists in correlating location to primary purpose. ...
Nasal air-conditioning during breathing therapy

White, DE; Al-Jumaily, AM; Bartley, J; Somervell, A (AUT University, Bentham Science Publishers; 2011)

It has been reported that continuous positive airway pressure therapy introduces negative nasal side-effects including sneezing, itching, nasal dryness, nasal congestion and/or a runny nose. As these symptoms are suggestive ...
Nasal air-conditioning during N-CPAP therapy

White, DE; Al-Jumaily, AM; Bartley, J (AUT University, Medical Sciences Congress; 2010)

Over 40% of people who undertake n-CPAP breathing therapy report problems of rhinitis or nasal congestion despite not having these symptoms prior to treatment. Heated humidification is often used to condition inhaled air ...
Nasal morphology and blood flow during augmented air pressure breathing therapies

White, DE; Al-Jumaily, AM; Bartley, J; Lu, J; Hankin, RKS (AUT University; 2011)

Air delivered under augmented pressure during breathing therapy normally requires external humidification in order to avoid upper airways dryness and discomfort. Nasal heat and water flux between air and mucosa is dynamically ...
Role of mechanical stress in optimising breathing therapy humidification

White, DE; Al-Jumaily, AM; Bartley, J (AUT University, University of Auckland; 2010)

During breathing therapy, heated humidification is often used to condition inhaled air and minimise symptoms associated with airway drying. The current treatment paradigm is based on providing the patient with fully ...
