The nose exerts many functions, mainly for the respiration and the olfaction and represents the first doorway for the oxygen, but also for pathogens. The present Supplement reports some clinical experiences concerning the use of a new internal nasal dilator in different settings, including nasal obstructive disorders, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, continuous positive active pressure (CPAP), and sport activity. The outcomes support the concept that a healthy nose should be maintained ever patent and free from secretions, as impaired nasal function can significantly affect quality of life. Therefore, an "open and clean nose" contributes in a relevant way to the subjective wellness.
鼻子具有多种功能，主要用于呼吸和嗅觉，是氧气进入的第一道门户，但也是病原体进入的第一道门户。本增刊报道了在不同情况下使用新型鼻内扩张器的一些临床经验，包括鼻阻塞性疾病、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征、持续气道正压通气（CPAP）以及体育活动。这些结果支持了这样一种观念，即健康的鼻子应始终保持通畅且无分泌物，因为鼻腔功能受损会显著影响生活质量。因此，“通畅且清洁的鼻子”对主观健康有重要贡献。
