• A comparison of minimal cross sectional areas, nasal volumes and peak nasal inspiratory flow between patients with obstructive sleep apnea and healthy controls 

      Moxness, Mads Henrik Strand; Bugten, Vegard; Thorstensen, Wenche Moe; Nordgård, Ståle; Bruskeland, Guttorm Eric (Journal article, 2016)
      BACKGROUND: The differences in nasal geometry and function between OSA patients and healthy individuals are not known. Our aim was to evaluate the differences in nasal geometry and function using acoustic rhinometry (AR) ...
    • Olfaction in COPD 

      Thorstensen, Wenche Moe; Øie, Marte Rystad; Dahlslett, Sarah Bettina; Sue-Chu, Malcolm; Steinsvåg, Sverre Karmhus; Helvik, Anne-Sofie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background: Olfaction is poorly characterized in COPD. To test the hypothesis that olfaction is reduced in COPD, we assessed olfaction with the "Sniffin' Sticks" test and a questionnaire addressing olfaction in COPD and a ...
    • Peak nasal inspiratory flow in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease* 

      Thorstensen, Wenche Moe; Øie, Marte Rystad; Sue-Chu, Malcolm; Steinsvåg, Sverre Karmhus; Helvik, Anne-Sofie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      BACKGROUND: The nasal airflow in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is poorly characterized. Peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) is a valuable instrument for assessing nasal airflow and the effect of pulmonary ...
