Abstract

Nasal obstruction is known to be associated with a major decrease in disease-specific quality of life, and nasal valve dysfunction can play a considerable role in nasal airflow obstruction. Diagnosis and treatment of nasal valve dysfunction requires a thorough understanding of normal anatomy and function as well as pathophysiology of common abnormalities to properly treat the exact source of dysfunction. As the pathophysiology of the nasal valves has become better understood, surgery designed to treat its dysfunction has evolved. Here, we explore the progress we have made in treating the nasal valves, and the deficiencies we still face.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Poiseuille's law states that nasal resistance varies inversely with the fourth power of the radius of the nasal passages.

    “Poiseuille’s law, on the other hand, states that nasal resistance varies inversely with the fourth power of the radius of the nasal passages (resistance = (viscosity ∗ length)/radius^4) [12].”

  • The physiology of the nasal valve resembles that of a Starling resistor.

  • The angle of the internal nasal valve should typically measure between 10 and 15 degrees in the nose of a Caucasian and is usually more obtuse in the African-American or Asian nose.

  • The nasal valve serves as the central location for controlling airflow and resistance, imparting the sensation of a properly functioning airway.

  • Even minor adjustments in the radius of the nasal valves in either direction can have a significant impact on both airflow and resistance.

    “Consequently, even minor adjustments in the radius of the nasal valves in either direction can have a significant impact on both airflow and resistance [6,12].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
