“…Both expansion of the nose and nostrils are observed after EVO. In addition, development of facial muscles that is restricted by DSN muscles can proceed and the mouth and eyes widen [13] [15] [24] [25].…”

Background: Historically frenotomy was performed at newborn babies' baptism for healthy breastfeeding over many centuries. Although it was necessary for nursing babies, its application was denied subjectively without clinical observation since the early 20th century. As a result solutions for breastfeeding and breast problems are confused now. Methods: We studied changes in breastfeeding and mothers' breasts before and one month after the surgeries for ADEL by standards for healthy breastfeeding and breasts. Results: With regard to suckling, before the surgeries 24% of babies opened their eyes during breastfeeding, while after surgeries 76% opened eyes while nursing. 30% of the babies latched onto the mother's breast with a wide-open mouth. After surgeries, 84% properly latched on. 73% of the babies had calluses on the upper lip before surgeries, and no calluses were observed after surgeries. 27% of babies before surgeries moved the jaws during breastfeeding, but after surgeries 88% moved the jaws while nursing. White debris was on the dorsum tongue in 70% of babies prior to surgeries. After surgeries, 22% were with debris. 67% of mothers experienced nipple pain before their babies' surgeries while 6% had pain after the surgeries. Flattened nipples were observed in 55% of mothers before the infants' surgeries, 7% after surgeries. 23% of mothers had breast pain before the surgeries, and 4% had breast pain after the surgeries. Mastitis was also reduced from 9% to 1% after surgeries. 73% of women had palpable breast masses, and after the surgeries 25% had palpable masses. Summary: Remarkable improvements in breastfeeding and in women's breasts were achieved after their infants underwent operations for ADEL. These results indicate the necessity of surgical interventions in babies with ADEL for healthy breastfeeding and breasts (279).

“…After EVO, the following changes were observed: nasal widening, decreased nasal airway resistance and increased nasal airflow, and esthetic facial changes [11]- [13]. The expansion of the nostrils, rise of the angulus oris and widening of both optic fissures are observable just after EVO.…”

Human Nose Might Be Involved in Cooling of the Brain

I have reached the conclusion that the human nose might be involved in cooling of the brain. In this report, I first describe the clinical observations about ankyloglossia with deviation of the epiglottis and larynx (ADEL) with regard to sleep that I have made during my 30 years of otorhinolaryngological experience. Then I describe the physiology of the nose. Next I quote from reports on paradoxical sleep, or REM sleep, from Kitamura K (2009) and Jouvet M (1992). Finally, I present the conclusion that nasal respiration is indispensable to a deep and sound sleep that refreshes humans and promotes vitality.

“…The anatomical condition of ADEL is as follows: the tongue is in the forward position, both of the frenulum lingua are attached to the tongue and/or there is no frenulum, and the epiglottis and the larynx are elevated and forward. This condition increases airway resistance, thereby reducing respiratory parameters such as vital capacity (VC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (1%FEV) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Respiratory distress in babies is mainly caused by ADEL [8]. There are many signs and symptoms of the respiratory distress caused by ADEL.…”

Weights of curetted adenoid were measured and were compared with both weights of tonsils and the rate of adenoidectomy among the tonsillectomized cases. This study included 603 patients whose adenoids were curetted during the 11-year period. 90% of patients were 2 to 9 years old. The rate of curetted adenoid vegetation among the tonsillectomized cases was 80% among patients from 1 to 6 years old and 70% among patients of 7 and 8 years old. The rate remarkably decreased from 9 years of age. The average weight of the curetted adenoids in each age group ranged from 0.7 g to 1.9 g. There was no statistical correlation in the distribution of the average weight of the curetted adenoids between males and females as well as between the weight of the tonsils and the weight of the curetted adenoids. A hypothesis on the cause of adenoid hypertrophy was presented in this study.
