Stabilitetsmätningar på bihålans storlek och O2-koncentration med hjälp av gasabsorptionsspektroskopi. Mätningar på bihålor med gasabsorptionsspektroskopi är stabila i tiden. Skillnader mellan den högra och vänstra sidan samt skillnader mellan individer har noterats. Bihåleinflammation är en vanlig sjukdom som i 85% av fallen orsakas av virus och i resterande fall av bakterier. Trots detta, försSinusitis is a common disease caused by a virus or bacteria, with 84% to 91% of cases caused by a viral pathogen. However, physicians prescribe antibiotics for this disease in 85% of all cases. GPX Medical is a company working on the development of a medical device which, by means of absorption spectroscopy, can determine whether the disease is caused by virus or bacteria supporting, thus, the doc

We investigated whether desensitization of capsaicin-sensitive nerve fibres by systemic resiniferatoxin (RTX)-pretreatment can counteract the detrusor over-activity induced by intravesical capsaicin, acetic acid or
