Some types of surgery performed on the tip of the nose, such as secondary rhinoplasty on cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients, may have an uncertain end-result due to the difficulty in maintaining the surgically created status constant over time. This is precisely the reason behind the multiple proposals and surgical techniques presented by various authors through the years, in order to produce a long lasting, valid, surgical result. The problem has been approached by implementing varied and creative methods and still remains partially unsolved. Experience has shown that the application of a dynamic nasal splint has contributed efficiently to maintaining the surgical results by opposing healing contraction.

Article Synopsis
- The nasal airway is critical for respiratory functions, starting with the nasal vestibule, whose geometric variations may influence drug delivery effectiveness.
- Using MRI and 3D reconstruction, the study analyzed 11 subjects to isolate the vestibule's impact on airflow dynamics and particle deposition, controlling for variations in nasal turbinates.
- Findings revealed that airflow velocity is highest in the middle nasal region, with a significant correlation between nostril area, vestibule surface-to-volume ratio, and particle deposition, suggesting personalized approaches for nasal drug delivery.

Introduction: Yoga practices emphasize spinal energy's role in physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, suggesting specific techniques that can enhance energy flow along the spine. Modern research aims to validate these claims and understand the mechanisms behind these effects, potentially integrating them into contemporary healthcare models. This study explores the relationship between yoga breathing techniques, spinal energy dynamics, and health based on yoga philosophy and bioenergetics.

Direct and consistent monitoring of respiratory patterns is crucial for disease prognostication. Although the wired clinical respiratory monitoring apparatus can operate accurately, the existing defects are evident, such as the indispensability of an external power supply, low mobility, poor comfort, and limited monitoring timeframes. Here, we present a self-powered in-nostril hydrogel sensor for long-term non-irritant anti-interference respiratory monitoring, which is developed from a dual-network binary-solvent thermogalvanic polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel fiber (d = 500 μm, L=30 mm) with Fe/Fe ions serving as a redox couple, which can generate a thermoelectrical signal in the nasal cavity based on the temperature difference between the exhaled gas and skin as well as avoid interference from the external environment.

Nasal airflow obstruction correlates with several ailments, such as higher patency, increased friction at the mucosal wall or the so-called Little's area, improper air conditioning, and snoring. Nasal dilators are frequently employed, mainly due to their ease of access and use, combined with their non-permanent and non-surgical nature. Their overall efficacy, however, has not been clearly demonstrated so far, with some studies reporting conflicting outcomes, mainly because being based on subjective evaluations.
