	Nasal Spray
		Saline nasal spray is used to loosen mucus in nasal passages and moisten the nose.
		Xlear™ Nasal Wash is a patented, non-addictive nasal spray designed to aid in the relief and management of sinus infection caused by pollutants, allergens and infections of the nasal passages.
		It is the ONLY nasal wash that combines the unique properties of the natural substance, Xylitol, and the health-promoting practice of a saline nasal spray to help wash, hydrate and moisturize the nasal passages.

		The nasal passages are lined with a membrane composed primarily of one layer of flat, closely packed cells called epithelial cells.
		In addition to their role in the respiratory system, the nasal passages house cells called olfactory receptors, which are involved in the sense of smell.
		Like the nasal passages, the pharynx is lined with a protective mucous membrane and ciliated cells that remove impurities from the air.

	Nasal spray for decongesting nasal passages - US Patent 6641799 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A therapeutic composition for use as a nasal spray the aids in decongesting of the nasal passages by osmotic effect, thinning of mucus and stimulation of ciliary function.
		In contrast, the present invention is a hypertonic, alkaline nasal spray that avoids the use of vasoconstrictors and aids in the decongesting and moisturizing of the nose through osmotic activity, thinning and decreasing the viscosity of mucus, and increasing ciliary function.
		In one embodiment, the spray according to the invention is a composition for inducing osmotic decongestion of nasal passages.

	nasal cycle - General Practice Notebook (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Airflow through the nasal passages is normally asymmetrical because of alternating changes in nasal resistance in each nostril.
		The total nasal resistance to airflow remains fairly constant as changes between the nasal passages tend to be reciprocal so that the patient is usually unaware of the phenomenon.
		This nasal cycle has a periodicity of approximately 2 hours and is found in 80% of the population.

	Potential Effects of Inspiratory Airflow Patterns at the Nostrils on Predictions of Particle Deposition Efficiency in ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Initially, inspiratory airflow simulations were conducted with uniform airflow vectors imposed on the nostrils pushing air into the nasal passages (plug flow conditions at the inlet).
		Subsequently, simulations were run with airflow vectors imposed at the nasopharynx that pulled airflow through the nasal passages, resulting in a more physiologic airflow profile at the nostrils.
		The accuracy of the manner in which inspiratory airflow is simulated at the nostrils may have a significant impact on the accuracy of nasal deposition efficiency predictions.

		Adenoids are spongy tissue masses located between ends of the nasal passages and the soft tissue in the back of the throat.
		The nasal secretion is examined microscopically for factors that might indicate a cause, such as increased numbers of white blood cells, indicating infection, or high counts of eosinophils.
		Steroid sprays may injure the nasal septum (the bony area that separates the nasal passage) if the spray is directed onto it.

	Nasal Passages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Only a small part of the nose and nasal cavity is taken up by the organs of smell; the rest of it is mainly concerned with processing the airflow on its way through to the lungs.
		The walls of the nasal cavity, and particularly the flaplike middle and inferior conchae, are coated with respiratory mucous membranes which incorporate a vast number of tiny hairlike cells which act to move waves of mucus toward the throat.
		Dust, bacteria, and chemical particles which are inhaled from the air are trapped by the mucus, carried back and swallowed; they are then taken care of by gastric juices to nullify any potential harm.

		Nasal cleanliness is a central factor in good health, says Dr Hana Solomon, a Missouri physician and strong advocate of nasal rinsing.
		Exposures to irritants actually cause the nasal mucous to become thicker, the nasal membranes to swell and the nose hairs to function less effectively as a filter.
		Such cleansing with a nasal wash can be especially helpful to people suffering from allergies, asthma, and sinus problems as well as those with congestion.

		Nasal wall flux of HCHO was calculated assuming that the walls act as perfect sinks for inhaled HCHO (HCHO concentration set to zero at walls).
		Predictions were obtained for (1) HCHO flux into rat nasal passage walls in the SCC region and (2) any regions in primate nasal passages showing HCHO flux values equal to or greater than the rat SCC value.
		Overall HCHO uptake was predicted at 99% for the anterior F344 rat nasal passages and 88% for the entire rhesus nasal passages.

	My Allergies - Allergic Rhinitis
		Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal passages, usually associated with watery nasal discharge and itching of the nose and eyes.
		Often, the nasal mucosa (lining of the nose) is pale or violaceous because of the engorged veins.
		Classic signs of allergic rhinitis may include swelling of the eyelids, injected sclerae (the whites of the eyes may be red), allergic shiners (darkened areas under the lower eyelids thought to result from venous pooling of blood), and extra skin folds in the lower eyelids.

	Go Ask Alice!: Addicted to nasal spray? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Over-the-counter nasal sprays — the nasal decongestant or medicated kind — work by constricting the blood vessels in the nose, reducing swelling, irritation, and sniffling.
		As swelling in the nasal passages decreases, you have more room to get air in, and quick as a sniff, that uncomfortable stuffy head feeling is gone.
		However, with continuous use, nasal sprays can cause "rebound rhinitis," a condition in which nasal passages become even more swollen than they were originally.
