ABSTRACT Japanese moraic nasal /N/ is a segment having the status of an independent mora. In utterance-medial position, it realized as sharing same place articulation immediately following segment, but in utterance-final believed to be uvular nasal. This final-/N/-as-uvular view, which wide-spread literature on phonetics and phonology, was examined objectively by use real-time MRI movie articul...

OBJECTIVES Evaluation of a new material, high-density porous polyethylene (HDPP), which is covered with fascia lata, for experimental nasal septal perforation closure. METHODS Twenty New Zealand albino rabbits were included and divided into study and control groups. A lateral incision was made from the lateral aspect of the left nares to the incisura nasomaxillaris. After exposure of the cavu...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) frequently causes various infections, some of which are serious and require prompt medical detection and appropriate antibiotic selection. Although P. aeruginosa commonly exists within the nasal cavity, meningitis or ventriculitis following transsphenoidal surgery to relieve P. aeruginosa has been reported only occasionally. However, as the endoscopic tran...

In this paper an account is given for the occurrence of a complete oral closure during the production of the mora nasal in intervocalic position in Osaka Japanese. This kind of realisation is dependent on the vocalic context and is favoured where the vowel following the mora nasal is an open one. Nous nous proposans de donner ici une explication concemant la realisation d'une fermeture orale co...

This study reports a new integrated device for measuring oral and nasal airflow with lossless speech recording with preliminary results on Chinese plosives. An acoustically transparent fiber-made mask acts both as a material for airflow resistance and a support for partitioning oral and nasal chambers. Two pressure sensors placed directly on the mask measure air pressure signals that correspond...

We examined oronasal flow partitioning in 27 volunteers with normal or slightly increased nasal resistance (mean +/- SD, 0.24 +/- 0.19 kPa/l/s). Mean percentage of inspiratory nasal flow contribution was measured during spontaneous oronasal breathing. The averaged nasal admixture of airflow differed considerably within and between all subjects (mean +/- SD, 20.9% +/- 16.5%; range 1%-70%), showi...

Ectopic eruption into the dental environment is common, whereas eruption into other sites is rare. Diverse anatomical locations such as the mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, maxillary sinuses and nasal cavity can infrequently be the site of ectopic tooth eruption. One of the nondental sites for ectopic eruption is the maxillary sinus. Here, we present a case of dentigerous cyst with...

There was no history of a foreign body in the nose at any time before. Anterior rhinoscopy showed a rough dark stony mass covered with greenish discharge. Probing gave a metallic sound. Postnasal examination showed a greenish discharge. A clinical diagnosis of a rhinolith was made. Radiology showed the rhinolith's position (Fig. 1) in the floor of the right nostril with mucosal thickening of th...
