Tehnisko kļūdu novērtēšana un izskaušana rinomanometrijā
2016
KOPASAVILKUMS Ievads: Jaunas metodes tiek ieviestas, lai rastu vienkāršākus un ātrākus risinājumus spiediena caurules fiksācijai rimomanometrijā. Svarīgi ir pētīt ietekmes uz gaisa plūsmu, lai izvairītos no kļudainiem mērījumiem. Ar datorprogrammu saistītā rinomanometrija pamazām tiek aizstāta ar PNIF ierīci, jo tā ir lētāka un vieglāka lietošanā, līdz ar to ir svarīgi vispirms novērot korelāciju starp abām metodēm. Mērķis: Diplomdarba mērķis bija apzināties un piefiksēt kļūdas un sarežģījumus, kādi rodas veicot četru fāzu rinomanometriju, izmantojot dažādas spiediena caurulītes piestiprināšanas metodes. Vēlviens uzdevums bija apzināties un piefiksēt kļūdas, kas rodas PNIF testa procesā, kā…
Deguna plūsmas fizisko modeļu eksperimenti
2016
Jau vairākus gadus rinomanometrija ir vispāratzīta deguna elpošanas pretestības diagnostikas metode. Ar četru fāzu rinomanometrijas ieviešanu, radās cilpu fenomens, radot diskusijas par tās izcelsmi. Izmēģinājuma mērķis ir izpētīt cilpas rašanos rinomanometrijas mērījumos un dažādu formu rezistoru ietekmi. Izmēģinājuma laikā tika izveidoti dāžādi rezistori, kas izgatavoti no vara caurulēm un mērījumi tika konstatēti ar mērāmierīci 4 Rhino no uzņēmuma Rhinolab/ Vācijā. Pētījumā tika reģistrēti 120 mērījumi. Vairākos mērījumos tika konstatētas histerēzes cilpas, kas saistītas ar gaisa plūsmas recirkulācijas biežumu. Biežums un plūsmas ātrums nosaka histerēzes cilpas rašanos ne caur nulli četr…
Nasal airway, lip competence, and craniofacial morphology
1993
The aim of the present investigation was to demonstrate whether children selected by their open lip posture show differences in their nasal airway resistance and facial morphology compared to children with closed lip closure. Thirty-two children with poor lip competence were compared to a control group of 20 with secure mouth closure. Patients with poor lip competence showed a significantly higher ML-NSL angle and also ML-NL angle. Anterior rhinomanometry, as well as measurements of the pharyngeal space on lateral headfilms, displayed no significant differences between the two groups. The same material was also grouped cephalometrically into skeletal open and skeletal deep bite configuratio…
Assessing Repeatability and Reproducibility of Anterior Active Rhinomanometry (AAR) in Children
2020
AbstractBackgroundRepeatability and reproducibility are essential for clinicians for several purposes. Although discouraged, use of the Coefficient of Variation (CV) for assessing repeatability and reproducibility, rather than the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), is still widespread. The aim of the present study was to highlight how using inappropriate indices may lead to misleading results, and this is done by simulation study and using real data on Anterior Active Rhinomanometry (AAR) in both healthy children and ones with rhinitis.MethodsA simulation study was carried out to highlight how using inappropriate indices could be misleading. Then a comparison was made between CV and …
Relationship between rhinitis duration and worsening of nasal function
2008
BackgroundWhile it is well known that asthma is characterized by airway remodeling, few studies instead have investigated this issue in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR).ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate nasal function, ie, nasal airflow, in a cohort of patients with persistent AR (PER).MethodsOne hundred patients, 50 with short-term and 50 with long-term PER, were prospectively and consecutively evaluated, clinically evaluated by visit, skin prick test, and rhinomanometry.ResultsNasal airflow values were significantly lower (median flow: 348 mL/sec) in patients with long-term rhinitis (median duration nine years) as compared to patients with short-term (median duration one y…
Intra-oral low level laser therapy in chronic maxillary sinusitis: a new and effective recommended technique
2015
Background: Chronic sinusitis is one of the most common chronic diseases involving different age groups. Because the nature and etiology of chronic sinusitis are not completely known, there is not any standard treatment for this disease. It has been suggested that low-level laser can be used in treating chronic sinusitis but there are limited studies about its usage. In this research, intra-oral radiation of low-level laser has been described and implemented for the first time. Suggested hypotheses about the efficacy of this type of radiation (intra-oral) in treating chronic maxillary sinusitis includes this fact that the depth of maxilla’s vestibule is also the floor of maxillary sinus and…
Rhinomanometry: point of care test (POCT) for allergic rhinitis in children?
2021
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem: its prevalence is 23% in Europe, although it is underestimated because as many as 45% of the cases remain undiagnosed. Globally, almost 500 million people suffer from AR, which shows its increasing incidences. The diagnostic course of AR is based on clinical history, supported by anterior rhinoscopy. This inspects the anterior part of the nasal cavity accompanied by allergic sensitivity tests (cutaneous allergic skin tests or specific immunoglobulin E levels). The availability of standardised diagnostic proceduresis able to provide objective evaluations of inflammatory situation, and the degree of nasal obstruction may give an advantage in …
Meta-analysis of the objective and subjective evaluation of nasal surgery
2021
Priekšvēsture: Nav vienota viedokļa par objektīvu un subjektīvu novērtēšanas metožu lietderību deguna elpceļu obstrukcijas novērtēšanā un ārstēšanas ietekmi uz dzīves kvalitāti, saistībā ar deguna operācijām. Mērķis: Metaanalīžu mērķis bija novērtēt korelāciju starp mūsdienīgu objektīvo mērījumu un subjektīvo deguna obstrukcijas sajūtu, kas ietekmē deguna elpceļus pēc deguna operācijas. Materiāli un metodes: Tika veikta sistemātiska literatūras analīze no zinātniskiem rakstiem angļu valodā, kuros tika apskatīta korelācija starp objektīviem mērījumiem un subjektīviem deguna elpceļu obstrukcijas simptomiem pēcoperatīvajā periodā. Pētījuma autore veica 23 zinātnisko rakstu analīzi. Pētījuma re…
Nasal provocation testing as an international standard for evaluation of allergic and nonallergic rhinitis.
2005
Standardized nasal provocation testing (NPT) has been shown to be a safe and very useful tool in the diagnosis of allergic and nonallergic rhinitis. However, in the United States, its use has been mostly limited to scientific investigations, and it has not yet been widely accepted as a standard diagnostic procedure in clinical practice. NPT aims to identify and quantify the clinical relevance of inhalant allergens or occupational irritants. During NPT, nasal respiratory mucosa is exposed to an airborne substance suspected to cause symptoms in the respective individual. Clinical reactions are monitored in a controlled and standardized fashion. Nasal secretions, symptoms such as itching, snee…
The new agreement of the international RIGA consensus conference on nasal airway function tests.
2018
The report reflects an agreement based on the consensus conference of the International Standardization Committee on the Objective Assessment of the Nasal Airway in Riga, 2nd Nov. 2016. The aim of the conference was to address the existing nasal airway function tests and to take into account physical, mathematical and technical correctness as a base of international standardization as well as the requirements of the Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices. Rhinomanometry, acoustic rhinometry, peak nasal inspiratory flow, Odiosoft-Rhino, optical rhinometry, 24-h measurements, computational fluid dynamics, nasometry and the mirrow test were evaluated for importa…
