In such a case the turbinate can be reduced in size by endoscopic nasal surgery (turbinectomy). The presence of a concha bullosa is often associated with deviation of the nasal septum toward the opposite side of the nasal cavity. Although it is thought that sinusitis or sinus pathology has relation to concha bullosa, no strong statistical correlation has been demonstrated.

Tumors form in nose and are contagious. ENTV targets the respiratory system in ovine, specifically the upper-airway epithelial cells. Oncogenesis occurs in the nasal turbinate cells A typical oncogenic virus will cause a mutation in a host cell, causing the transformation of host cells from a protooncogene into an oncogene. ENTV is unique among retroviruses because the envelope glycoprotein is an oncogene.

The height of the shell attains 12.5 mm, its diameter 13 mm. This form is similar in color- pattern and sculpture to Clanculus clanguloides Wood, 1828, but differs notably in the greater altitude, the more turbinate form, and its greater development of the teeth. In these characters it is like Clanculus stigmatarius A. Adams, 1853, which is, however, quite different in coloration. The spire is elevated conical.

The woody red-brown to purple-brown seed pods that form after flowering are erect with a narrowly oblanceolate shape and have straight sides. The glabrous, flat pods have are in length and wide but are paler over the seeds and can have a powdery white coating. The brown-black seeds have an elliptic to obovate shape with a length of and a turbinate aril.

However, objections have been raised against this argument. Nasal turbinates are absent or very small in some birds, such as ratites, Procellariiformes and Falconiformes. They are also absent or very small in some mammals, such as anteaters, bats, elephants, whales and most primates, although these animals are fully endothermic and in some cases very active. Furthermore, ossified turbinate bones have been identified in the ankylosaurid dinosaur Saichania.

The conical spire is short and has a minute, acute apex.

Empty nose syndrome has been observed to affect a small proportion of people who have undergone surgery to the nose or sinuses, particularly those who have undergone turbinectomy (a procedure that removes some of the bones in the nasal passage). The incidence of ENS is variable and has not yet been quantified.Gehani NC and Houser S. Septoplasty, Turbinate Reduction, and Correction of Nasal Obstruction. Chapter 42.

P. erythropoma is a small snail that has a height of and globose-turbinate, shell. Its differentiated from other Pyrgulopsis in that its penial filament has an absent lobe and elongate filament with the penial ornament consisting of a large, superficial ventral gland. It is distinguished from closely similar P. pisteri by its more globose shell, blade-like penis, and absence of anterior capsule gland vestibule.

Also, elephant seals have the ability to fast for long periods of time while breeding or molting. The turbinate process, another unique adaptation, is very beneficial when these seals are fasting, breeding, molting, or hauling out. This unique nasal structure recycles moisture when they breathe and helps prevent water loss. Elephant seals have external whiskers called vibrissae to help them locate prey and navigate their environment.

The nasal cavity was large, situated directly below the snout roof. It was divided into a left and right side by a thick vertical bone wall. It was also horizontally divided in two by high internal wings of the praemaxillae and the upper side of a crista maxilloturbinalis. This latter was a scroll-like structure, a turbinate bone serving with warm-blooded animals to condense and preserve exhaled moisture.

Drosera rupicola is a tuberous perennial species in the genus Drosera that is endemic to Western Australia. It produces 3 to 5 semi-erect lateral stems that grow up to 15 cm long. The turbinate tuber and mobile lamina that are capable of folding over prey distinguish it from all other members of the section Stolonifera. It is native to a large inland region from Pithara to south-east of Hyden.

An extremely low pH of 4.5 is needed for the virus to perform fusion activation and cell entry this is much lower than JSRV which requires a ph of around 6. Fusion activation of ENTV requires a lower pH than cell entry. An over expression of Hya2 is required for ENTV infection. ENTV may prefer to replicate in the nasal turbinate chondrocytes because of the high concentration of the receptor.

The size of the shell varies between 40 mm and 60 mm. The imperforate, solid shell has a turbinate shape. The 6-7 whorls 6- are, flat above, obliquely costate below the sutures, then with several revolving series of granules. The periphery is sharply carinate, armed with short triangular spines which festoon the sutures and project more or less, about 10-13 in number on the body whorl.

One of the largest gastropod shells found on the Southern California coast, this species varies between 40 mm and 145 mm. The shell lacks an umbilicus, and has a turbinate-conical shape. Like other shells of the family turbinidae it is composed of a thick inner nacreous layer, covered by a thinner porcellanous layer. In this species both are covered by a dark brown shaggy periostracum in life.

Its fruitbody initially has a turbinate (cushion-like) shape with a lumpy surface, later becoming flattened to funnel-shaped with a smooth to corrugated surface texture.Harrison (1961), p. 13. The caps form from the top of the short stipe by the growth and expansion of a blunt margin and later as a thickening of the upper surface. Spines start to form when the cap hangs over the stipe slightly.

Temperature gradient along the nasal mucosa is under physiological control. Incoming cold air is warmed by body heat before entering the lungs and water is condensed from the expired air and captured before the reindeer's breath is exhaled, then used to moisten dry incoming air and possibly be absorbed into the blood through the mucous membranes. Like moose, caribou have specialised noses featuring nasal turbinate bones that dramatically increase the surface area within the nostrils.

The medial surface of the labyrinth of ethmoid consists of a thin lamella, which descends from the under surface of the cribriform plate, and ends below in a free, convoluted margin, the middle nasal concha (middle nasal turbinate). It is rough, and marked above by numerous grooves, directed nearly vertically downward from the cribriform plate; they lodge branches of the olfactory nerves, which are distributed to the mucous membrane covering the superior nasal concha.

The solid, imperforate shell has a depressed-turbinate shape with a diameter greater than the altitude. It is covered with an irregular spiral series of nodules and granules, of which the subsutural series and two on the median portion of the body whorl are more prominent. The spire is depressed, dome-shaped with an apex that is frequently eroded and red. The shell contains 4 to 5 whorls, the last very large.

Empty nose syndrome, which is one form of atrophic rhinitis, is a condition that can develop as a result of turbinate surgery or other surgeries that have an impact on the turbinates. It is a rare condition in which people whose nasal passages are clear following a turbinectomy experience a number of symptoms, including feelings of nasal obstruction, nasal dryness, and crusting, as well as a sensation of being unable to breathe, among others.

The air tracts are however, much simpler than in the typical ankylosaurid condition, and are not convoluted while lacking bony turbinate bones. The nasal cavity is separated into two halves along the midline by a bone wall. This septum is continued to below by the vomers, which are keeled, the keel featuring a pendulum-shaped appendage. Another similarity with Ankylosauridae is the presence of a secondary bone palate, a possible case of parallel evolution.

The 'Parsonage' Pear is of large size, approximately 3 1/4 inches in length by 2 1/2 inches wide. It is pyriform in shape, rounded at the base and often long and turbinate. The skin is yellow in color, with a russet-ed base and crown, and russet markings interspersed across the remaining exterior portions. The stem is 5/8 of an inch long and its flesh is rather granular in texture and buttery.

Butia yatay bearing almost ripe fruit along the banks of the Río Negro in the Cerro de la Palmera, Río Negro Department, Uruguay. The shape of the fruit is ovoid. The shape of the 1.8-2.8 by 1-1.7 cm nut is elongated, ellipsoid or turbinate, and it weighs 1.1-3.5g. The ripe fruit are 2.7-4.2 cm by 1.5-3.8 cm in size, weigh 8-23g, and have a persistent perianth.

Main advantage of this procedure is that it is non-invasive providing a measure of nasal cross- sectional area with the length of the nasal passage in real time data. This can be done in the office, OR, or hospital. This cross-sectional area can also be expressed as nasal volume along the nasal passage from the inferior turbinate to the 7 cm area of the nose before the merging of the two nasal passages into one .

The term concha refers to the actual bone; when covered by soft tissue and mucosa, and functioning, a concha is termed a turbinate. Excessive moisture as tears collected in the lacrimal sac travel down the nasolacrimal ducts where they drain into the inferior meatus in the nasal cavity. Most of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is lined with respiratory epithelium as nasal mucosa. In the roof of each cavity is an area of specialised olfactory epithelium.

The characteristic presentation of RM involves nasal congestion without rhinorrhea, postnasal drip, or sneezing following several days of decongestant use. This condition typically occurs after 5–7 days of use of topical decongestants. Patients often try increasing both the dose and the frequency of nasal sprays upon the onset of RM, worsening the condition. The swelling of the nasal passages caused by rebound congestion may eventually result in permanent turbinate hypertrophy, which may block nasal breathing until surgically removed.

The leaves are opposite, elliptical or obovate, up to 16 cm long and 10 cm broad, with an entire margin and an emarginate (notched) apex. The flowers are small, pale whitish-yellow, fragrant, with a four-lobed corolla. The fruit is a globose to turbinate drupe 2–3 cm diameter, apiculate, bright yellow ripening dark purple, drying hard, dark brown, slightly rough with a single pyriform, dark russet seed, 10–12 mm long. The cotyledons are unequal.

Members of the family are diverse in ascomatal or cleistothecial form. Individual taxa may be sessile (without a stipe) to shortly stipitate, cupulate (cup-shaped), discoid (disc-shaped), pulvinate (cushion-shaped), or with turbinate (turban-shaped) epigeous apothecia. Also, taxa may be sub-hypogeous to hypogeous with closed, folded, or solid ascomata. Apothecia may range in size from less than 1 mm up to 12 cm diam, and may be brightly colored due to carotenoid pigments.

Halystina umberlee is a very small species, barely reaching a shell height of 2 mm. It has a rounded, conic to turbinate shell, with relatively thick walls and up to 5 whorls. Its bulbous protoconch consists of a single whorl with a pitted surface, and the protoconch-teleoconch transition is marked by a thin line. The teleoconch has 4 convex whorls, sculptured by delicate spiral cordlets crossed by axial threads, forming a delicate net-like pattern.

The first attempts at bone grafting cleft patients were made by Lexer (1908) and Drachter (1914). Between 1921 and 1952 various attempts were made to graft patients using the turbinate, rib and other harvest sites. Schmid (1954) at meetings in 1951 and 1952 reported on the treatment of patients using iliac crest bone grafts but stated, "The procedure has merely been presented for discussion". By 1964 the iliac crest bone graft had gained popularity and was presented at multiple meetings.

The aperture is quite oblique, rounded-ovate, angular above, broadly rounded below, with a thin iridescent layer of nacre within. The outer, basal and columellar margins are rather thin, curved, the latter joined to the upper margin by a thin white parietal callous. The narrow umbilicus is not bounded by an angle.Tryon (1889), Manual of Conchology XI, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia This dull whitish little shell may be known by its finely striate surface, narrow umbilicus, short spire and globose-turbinate form.

The spire is regularly conical and measures about one-third the total length of the shell. It consists of five whorls, ending in a small, blunt, turbinate protoconch of two and a-half smooth rounded whorls. The whorls of the teleoconch are slightly convex. They are separated by a well-defined linear suture and ornamented by six flat spiral ribs, the three posterior ones separated by flat shallow sulci of about equal width, the three anterior ones by linear grooves sometimes almost obsolete.

Illustration of Upper Respiratory System In anatomy, a nasal concha (), plural conchae (), also called a nasal turbinate or turbinal, is a long, narrow, curled shelf of bone that protrudes into the breathing passage of the nose in humans and various animals. The conchae are shaped like an elongated seashell, which gave them their name (Latin concha from Greek κόγχη). A concha is any of the scrolled spongy bones of the nasal passages in vertebrates.Anatomy of the Human Body Gray, Henry (1918) The Nasal Cavity.

Trochodendron rosayi fruits are born on pedicels sprouting from a thick central stalk. The fruits have a globose to turbinate outline, with a narrow base that flares out towards the apex. The tops of the fruits are rounded with approximately ten locular slits joining at the fruit apex to from a polygonal opening when the mature fruits dehisced. The locular slits form just above the straight to slightly outwardly curved persistant styles which sprout from the fruit 1/3 of the way below the apex.

Research has yet to define a correlation between these ridges and the evidence of turbinates, mostly based on the assumption that they were probably cartilaginous and difficult to preserve. The lack of intact skulls in these early mammals also serves as an impediment to study. The skull of Brasilitherium held more promising results, as it contained a secondary palate separating the nose from the mouth, thereby enhancing skeletal durability and preservation of the turbinate structure. Researchers identified small shards of bone inside the skull’s nasal cavity that were assumed to be parts of the turbinates.

The teleoconch contains three whorls. The protoconch consists of 3½ whorls, of which the first is turbinate, slightly tilted and engraved with microscopic spirally punctured lines, followed by two transitional whorls keeled at periphery, and ornamented by fine close obliquely radiating riblets. The adult sculpture : on the body whorl, fifteen spiral cords, of which the third and eighth are prominent, expressing the angle above and below the barrel of the whorl, the basal cords are broken into beads. The penultimate whorl shows six, and the antepenultimate with three spirals.

This same complex turbinate structure help conserve water in arid environments.Wang (2008) p.87. The water conservation and thermoregulatory capabilities of these well-developed turbinates in dogs may have been crucial adaptations that allowed dogs (including both domestic dogs and their wild prehistoric gray wolf ancestors) to survive in the harsh Arctic environment and other cold areas of northern Eurasia and North America, which are both very dry and very cold. Reptiles and more primitive synapsids have olfactory turbinates that are involved in sensing smell rather than preventing desiccation.

Baetidae is a family of mayflies with about 1000 described species in 110 genera distributed worldwide. These are among the smallest of mayflies, adults rarely exceeding 10 mm in length excluding the two long slender tails and sometimes much smaller, and members of the family are often referred to as small mayflies or small minnow mayflies. Most species have long oval forewings with very few cross veins (see Comstock-Needham system) but the hindwings are usually very small or even absent. The males often have very large eyes, shaped like turrets above the head (this is known as "turbinate condition").

Echinacea atrorubens, called the Topeka purple coneflower, is a North American species of plants in the sunflower family. It is native to eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, and eastern Texas in the south-central United States.Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution map It is found growing in dry soils around limestone or sandstone outcroppings and prairies. Echinacea atrorubens is a perennial herb up to 90 cm (3 feet) tall with elongate-turbinate roots that are sometimes branched. The stems and foliage are usually hairy with appressed to ascending hairs 1.2 mm long (strigose), rarely some plants are glabrous.

The ascomata matures in 10 to 17 days, taking on a silvery appearance when young but then turns dark grey to black when mature. The apically flattened ascomata can be obovate, turbinate, ampulliform or cylindrical with its width ranging from 140 to 250 μm wide and ranging from 200 to 400 μm high. The fungus is recorded having touter, subglobose or ovoidal, ascomata but it is also recorded having slender, narrowly ellipsoid ascomata with 1 to 2 rows of textura prismatica. The breakdown of asci begins within the perithecia, and ascospores are later ejected in a slime consisting of the freed ascospores.

The researchers found that the dinosaur could have had either a scroll-shaped turbinate (like in a turkey) or a branched one (as in an ostrich) as both could have directed air to the olfactory region. The blood vessel system in the passages also suggest that the turbinates served to cool down warm arterial blood from the body that was heading to the brain. The skull of S. validum specimen UALVP 2 was suited for a study of this kind due to its exceptional preservation; it has ossified soft tissue in the nasal cavity, which would otherwise be cartilaginous and therefore not preserved through mineralization.

The inferior conchae are the largest, and can be as long as the index finger in humans, and are responsible for the majority of airflow direction, humidification, heating, and filtering of air inhaled through the nose. The inferior conchae are graded 1-4 based on the inferior concha classification system (known as the inferior turbinate classification system) in which the total amount of the airway space that the inferior concha takes up is estimated. Grade 1 is 0-25% of the airway, grade 2 is 26-50% of the airway, grade 3 is 51-75% of the airway and grade 4 is 76-100% of the airway. There is sometimes a pair of supreme conchae superior to the superior conchae.

Leucospermum mundii is an upright, rounded and richly branching shrub of ½–1 m (1½–3 ft) high, that develops from a trunk at its base. The flowering stems are 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) thick and grey due to a thick layer of felty hairs. The greyish, felty hairy or hairless leaves are broadly wedge- shaped to very broadly inverted egg-shaped, 5–8½ cm (2–3½ in) long and 2–6½ cm (¾–2½ in) wide, almost seated or with a very short stalk and seven to seventeen teeth near the tip. The flower heads have a whorl shape (or are turbinate), are 2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 in) long and 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) wide, and grow in clusters of three to ten.

The shell has a depressed turbinate shape with an apical spire angle of approximately 98 degrees, with inflated body whorls that are exponential in expansion, a clearly impressed suture, and the periphery is rounded and indistinct. The base is highly inflated with a small columellar callus at the center covering roughly 22 percent of the base area. The aperture is oval, the slit is positioned roughly halfway between the periphery and the suture and is relatively long, about 21 percent of the circumference. The shell is lightly sculptured with numerous spiral cords over 30 above the selenizone (the area where the shell growth filled in the slit) and 17 to 19 spiral cords below the selenizone, crossed by strong axial growth lines which gives the effect of a coarse rectangular pattern.

Protoconch of the shell of Bayerotrochus westralis The shell has a turbinate shape with an apical spire angle of approximately 90 degrees, with inflated body whorls that are proportionate in expansion so that the spire profile is straight, a clearly defined suture, and the periphery is oblique and slightly rounded. The base is highly inflated and lacks a columellar callus at the center of the base area. The aperture is oval, the slit is positioned roughly one third of the way between the upper and lower sutures and is relatively long, about 19 percent of the circumference. The shell is lightly sculptured with very numerous fine spiral cords above and below the selenizone (the area where the shell growth filled in the slit), crossed by very numerous fine axial growth lines.

No consensus criteria exist for the diagnosis of ENS; it is typically diagnosed by ruling out other conditions, with ENS remaining the likely diagnosis if the signs and symptoms are present. A "cotton test" has been proposed, in which moist cotton is held where a turbinate should be, to see if it provides relief; while this has not been validated nor is it widely accepted, it may be useful to identify which people may benefit from surgery. As of 2015, protocols for using rhinomanometry to diagnose ENS and measure response to surgery were under development, as was a standardized clinical instrument (a well defined and validated questionnaire) to obtain more useful reporting of symptoms. A validated ENS-specific, 6-item questionnaire called the Empty Nose Syndrome 6-item Questionnaire (ENS6Q) was developed as an adjunct to the standard Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 22 (SNOT-22).

Pears and Perry Making in the UK , accessed 8 December 2009 These local pears are particularly known for their picturesque names, such as the various "Huffcap" varieties ('Hendre Huffcap', 'Red Huffcap', 'Black Huffcap', all having an elliptical shape), those named for the effects of their product ('Merrylegs', 'Mumblehead'), pears commemorating an individual ('Stinking Bishop', named for the man who first grew it, or 'Judge Amphlett', named for Assizes court judge Richard Amphlett), or those named for the place they grew ('Hartpury Green', 'Bosbury Scarlet', 'Bartestree Squash'). The perry makers of Normandy grew their own distinctive varieties such as Plant de Blanc, Antricotin and Fausset; the perry of Domfront, which has been recognised with AOC status since 2002 and PDO status since 2006, must be made with a minimum of 40% Plant de Blanc.Le Poire Domfront, accessed 23-05-2018 Pear cultivars used for perry-making tend to be small in size, turbinate or pyriform in shape, and too astringent for culinary use.
