Article Abstract

This study utilized CT imaging to investigate the rostral part of the head of the crested porcupine's head. By combining CT images with anatomical cross-sections, we have provided a detailed description of the structures in this area. This information could be useful for diagnosing disorders and improving their treatment in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses of crested porcupines.

In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), repeated airway obstruction alters mucosal inflammation, which increases exhaled nitric oxide (NO) production in the nasal cavity. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Accordingly, we aimed to examine the mechanism underlying NO production in patients with OSA.

Background: Microbes and their metabolites are implicated in respiratory diseases, including allergic rhinitis (AR); however, the interaction between the gut and respiratory tract and the role of microbes remains unclear. We investigated the gut and nasal microbiota variations between AR and control mice and their role in the bidirectional regulation of the gut-nasal axis.

Methods: We validated the OVA-induced establishment of an AR mouse model based on nasal symptoms and histopathology.

Background: Alterations in the anatomy of the inferior turbinate and nasal floor have been linked to airway resistance and dento-skeletal malocclusions. Few studies have quantified these relationships using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study aimed to determine whether the morphology and volume of the inferior nasal turbinate and adjacent structures differ among sagittal dento-skeletal patterns.

Patients with mucosal melanoma have lower survival rates than those with cutaneous melanoma. Recent studies have reported lower mucosal melanoma survival rates with the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). This study analyzed ICI treatment outcomes in patients with mucosal melanoma in a real-world context.
