Chronic atrophic rhinitis, or simply atrophic rhinitis, is a chronic inflammation of the nose characterised by atrophy of nasal mucosa, including the glands, turbinate bones and the nerve elements supplying the nose.
The aforementioned approach was used to create devices composed of 100-200 nm thick silicon (Si) nano membranes deposited on thin flexible polymeric substrates. [ 6 ] Furthermore, structural design considerations can be used to tune the mechanical stability of the devices.
A flexible stretcher, also known by the brand names Reeves sleeve or SKED, [note 1] is a stretcher that is often supported longitudinally by wooden or plastic planks. Essentially a tarpaulin with handles, it is primarily used to move a patient through confined spaces , e.g., a narrow hallway , or to lift obese patients. [ 14 ]
