英文摘要	BACKGROUND A large number of Indian population stays in the desert area. The nature of nasal problems faced by them is mainly in the form of obstructive nasal symptoms, sicca syndrome, recurrent epistaxis and allergic features. The aim was to study the changes in nasal mucosa in individuals exposed to the extreme hot and dry weather conditions in the Desert Sector. It was felt that the personnel of the Paramilitary and Military Forces not exposed to these conditions were the ideal subjects to study such effects of the hot and dry weather conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective observational study was done amongst 90 healthy volunteers exposed to the hot and dry desert conditions for the first time. The clinical profile of such patients was analysed along with their nasal endoscopy findings and nasal biopsy at the very onset and on completion of the study. The mucociliary transit time was also measured in them at the onset of study and after a period of two months. Thereafter the volunteers were divided into two groups and one group administered normal saline nasal drops and also advised saline nasal douching, whereas no such advice was given to the other group. After a period of three months, mucociliary transit time was measured and repeat biopsy was taken from each group and the results compared. RESULTS The Nasal Mucociliary Transit Time (NMTT) was significantly prolonged after two months stay in hot and dry weather conditions of desert (p<0.05) along with a significant derangement in the mucosal lining in histopathological finding in the study population. Normal saline nasal drops were found to be successful to improve the nasal mucociliary transit time significantly (p<0.05).
