BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to establish the normal ranges for foetal nasal bone length (NBL), prenasal skin thickness (PNT), interocular distance (IOD), and ratio of prenasal thickness to- nasal bone length (PNT/ NBL) at 18-24 weeks using two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound. METHODS This study was a retrospective study of prenatal ultrasonographic records from 407 foetuses betwee...

Introduction: This study aims to report a rare case of a respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) of the lateral nasal wall that had initially presented as a fungating mass, similar to that of a sinonasal malignancy, and its complete removal from the lateral nasal wall.   Case Report: We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented to us with a chief complaint of recurrent ri...

background nasal septal deviation (nsd) can cause upper airway obstruction, which results in hypoxia and therefore, pulmonary vasoconstriction, ventricular hypertrophy and right-sided heart failure. objectives the aim of this study is to determine the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mpap) of the patients with nsd and the effect of septoplasty on pulmonary arterial pressure. patients and metho...

conclusion for the identification of nasal bone fractures, ct was significantly superior to conventional radiography. although a staff radiologist showed better values in the identification of nasal bone fracture and differentiation between depressed and non-depressed fractures than a trainee, there was no statistically significant difference in the interpretation of conventional radiography an...

we report a case of human nasal myiasis caused by flower fly larva in a 14-year-old rural girl in central province of iran. entomological studies on larva showed the larva as eristalis tenax which is a rarely cause of nasal myiasis. this is the first reported case of e. tenax larva causing human nasal myiasis in iran.

INTRODUCTION Nosocomial infections are normally hospital acquired. Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is very common and may be transmitted via a hand-to-nose route. The objective of the present study was to screen healthcare workers for the colonization of their nasal cavities with MRSA. METHODOLOGY The study group included hospital staff such as nurses, doctors, and technic...

A 12 year old female with the Robin sequence presented with a one year history of snoring, witnessed apnoeas and daytime sleepiness. Surgery in early childhood had consisted of cleft palate repair, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy and, later, revision palatoplasty. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) demonstrated severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome with an apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) of 49 eve...

Estimates of the level of transcripts from the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene required to develop a CF phenotype range from 4-20% of normal. Due to the importance of obtaining reliable data on this issue for therapeutic strategies, we developed a novel polymerase chain reaction-based method to quantify CFTR transcripts and applied it to the analysis of nasa...

Introduction: Spontaneous Perforation of the nasal septum is an uncommon condition. Nasal inhalation of substances such as cocaine has long been linked to this Perforation. Case Report: This report describes the case of a 46-year-old woman who was addicted to methamphetamine and who presented with perforation of the nasal septum.This is the first reported case of nasal septal necrosis linked to...
