Background and objective Human upper airway (HUA) has been widely investigated by
many researchers covering various aspects, such as the effects of geometrical parameters …

Objectives/Hypothesis To determine risk factors for decannulation failure after
laryngotracheal reconstruction performed at a single institution over a 10‐year period. Study …

Background Computational fluid dynamics simulations of respiratory airflow in the upper
airway reveal clinically relevant information, including sites of local resistance, inhaled …

Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of miniscrew-assisted
rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) on changes in airflow in the upper airway (UA) of an adult …

This study aimed to introduce a one-dimensional (1D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
model for airway resistance and lung compliance to examine the relationship between …

This paper considers factors that play a significant role in determining inspiratory pressure
and energy losses in the human trachea. Previous characterisations of pathological …

In this paper, the airflow field in the upper airway under unsteady respiration process is
predicted using large eddy simulation. The geometrical model is created by combining a …

Background Improvements in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) severity may be
associated with improved pharyngeal fluid mechanics following adenotonsillectomy (AT) …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity might be correlated to the flow characteristics of the
upper airways. We aimed to investigate the severity of OSA based on 3D models …

Computational rhinology is a specialized branch of biomechanics leveraging engineering
techniques for mathematical modelling and simulation to complement the medical field of …
