Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The essence of the development is to obtain data from imaging tools, as a rule, spiral computed tomography, which allows visualizing bone-cartilaginous and soft tissue structures of the nasal cavity with high spatial resolution and contrast, preparing a 3D model for prototyping using specialized programs - slicers dividing the reproduced object into sections, taking into account the hardware features of the prototyping device, the 3D printing stage for obtaining a mode and implementation of this model is given manipulation - training with the help of selected surgical instruments. After a virtual change in the spatial configuration of the nasal cavity and re-manufacturing of a real model, it is possible to conduct comparative tests of both full-scale models on an aerodynamic bench to determine and analyse indicators of nasal resistance – pressure drop and corresponding air flow.
