Key Points
• Type II diabetes increases susceptibility to
viral and bacterial infections.
• Zinc supplementation reduces the duration
and severity of common cold symptoms.
• In some situations, a cow’s milk exclusion diet
appears to reduce mucus production.
• Probiotic supplementation is benecial in
upper respiratory infections and may have a
role in allergic rhinitis management.
• Vitamin D supplementation has a role in the
prevention of upper respiratory infections.
15.1 Introduction
Nutritional deciencies may lead to cellular dysfunction, illness and disease. Type II diabetic
subjects are more susceptible to bacterial and
viral infections, including pathogenic agents
such as COVID-19 [1]. Increasing evidence indicates that probiotics and vitamin D supplementation have a role in the management of upper
respiratory infections [2, 3].

15.2 Probiotics
In children, probiotic consumption may decrease
the incidence and illness duration of respiratory
tract infections and the number of days absent
from school or day care in children [4]. Similar
conclusions have also been made when adult
patients are included in the meta-analysis [2].
Bidobacteria and Lactobacilli are found more
commonly in the intestinal ora of healthy children when compared to allergic children [5].
Probiotic bacteria in the intestinal microbiota
may protect against atopy. The current evidence
does not support the routine use of probiotics in
allergic disease prevention [6]; however, probiotics may have a role in allergic rhinitis management [7–9]. Increasing evidence indicates that
diet inuences lung health [10] and allergic rhinitis [11].
The potential underlying mechanisms of probiotics on respiratory tract infections and allergic
rhinitis are not well dened. In vitro, certain normal human upper respiratory ora strains, mainly
streptococcal species, prevent pathogenic colonization and infection [12]. The possibility exists
that the local application of ‘healthy bacteria’,
through the use of nasal sprays, could prevent
upper respiratory infections and aid in allergy
management [13, 14]. Probiotics inuence both
innate and adaptive immune responses. They
increase interleukin (IL)-10 expression and
decrease inammatory cytokine expression, such

as tumour necrosis factor-α, IL-1β and IL-8 [15].
Lactic acid bacteria and Bidobacteria are the
most common types of probiotics [2]. The inuence of probiotics on respiratory tract health is an
area of ongoing research. Debate continues about
the most appropriate probiotic strains and dosage
regimens to use in a clinical situation.
15.3 Iron
Bacteria need iron for the purposes of respiration, DNA synthesis and free radical-scavenging mechanisms. The iron-binding proteins,
transferrin and lactoferrin help maintain low
iron levels in nasal mucus, which helps protect
against microbial infection. In the host, iron
deciency signicantly impairs cell proliferation and immune function [16]. Iron deciency
is not associated with an increased risk of acute
lower respiratory tract infection [17], indicating
that it is probably an upper respiratory infection
risk factor. The results of iron supplementation
in respiratory tract infection management are
mixed [16].
15.4 Vitamin A
Vitamin A is required for cellular growth, epithelial integrity, the production of red blood cells
and immunity. Vitamin A deciency increases the
susceptibility to a number of illnesses including
diarrhoea, measles and lower respiratory infections but not upper respiratory infections. While
vitamin A supplementation reduces morbidity
and mortality in children, no signicant inuence
on the incidence of respiratory disease or hospitalisations due to diarrhoea or pneumonia has
been noted [18, 19].
Cod liver oil, as well as a children’s multivitamin/mineral supplement with selenium and other
trace metals, reduced paediatric visits for upper
respiratory illness during the winter and early
spring by 36–58%. Cod liver oil not only contains vitamin A but also contains vitamin D and
omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it difcult to
totally attribute these results to vitamin A [20].
15.5 Omega-3
Omega-3 and omega-6 oils are essential fatty
acids oils, which play a role in the inammatory
response. The results of epidemiological studies
investigating maternal sh intake during pregnancy and allergic outcomes in infants/children
of those pregnancies are inconsistent.
Interventional studies studying oily sh consumption or sh oil supplementation in pregnancy to prevent infant and childhood allergic
diseases are also inconsistent [21, 22]. Omega-3
fatty acid supplementation alone does not
improve allergic rhinitis symptoms [23]. In
Samter’s triad (salicylate intolerance, asthma and
nasal polyps) patients, high-dose omega-3 supplementation may be useful [24].
15.6 Zinc
Zinc has numerous roles in the immune
response. Zinc is crucial for the normal development and function of cells such as neutrophils
and natural killer cells that mediate innate
immunity. Zinc is also involved in T and B lymphocyte functions as well as Th1 cytokine production. The macrophage, in particular, is
adversely affected by zinc deciency [16]. Zinc
taken daily reduces the incidence of the common cold in young children and both the duration and severity of symptoms once one has
developed a cold [25]. There has been some discussion of this meta-analysis [26]. In adults,
zinc supplementation reduces the duration and
severity of common cold symptoms [27]. The
role of zinc supplementation in the prevention
of lower respiratory infection has not been
translated into the possible prevention of upper
respiratory bacterial infection [28, 29].
15.7 Milk
Excessive milk consumption has a long association with increased respiratory tract mucus
production and asthma [30]. In the human
colon, ß-casomorphin-7 (ß-CM-7), an exorphin

15 Nutrition andtheUpper Respiratory Tract
https://t.me/medicina_free
181
derived from the breakdown of A1 milk, stimulates mucus production from gut MUC5AC
glands [31]. In the presence of inammation,
similar mucus overproduction from respiratory
tract MUC5AC glands characterizes many
respiratory tract diseases [32, 33]. ß-CM-7
from the bloodstream could stimulate the production and secretion of mucus production
from these respiratory glands. A number of
studies document that asthma symptoms often
improve where milk is excluded from the diet
[34–39]. Recent studies indicate that patients
with perceived cow’s milk hypersensitivity
have increased non-type 2 inammation and
airway hyper-responsiveness [40] and that a
dairy-free diet reduces the sensation of postnasal mucus [41]. These studies support the clinical observation that in some situations a cow’s
milk exclusion diet may aid nasal symptom
management.
15.8 Vitamin D
Vitamin D (25(OH)D) deciency is common
around the world. Vitamin D is made largely by
sun exposure [42]. Vitamin D has important
roles in both innate and adaptive immunity
[43]. Vitamin D has direct antiviral effects pri-
marily against enveloped viruses; coronavirus
is an enveloped virus. Blood vitamin D status
can inuence the risk of being infected with
COVID- 19, the seriousness of COVID-19 and
mortality from COVID-19 [44]. Vitamin D may
have an important role in oral health [45].
Historically, supplementation with cod liver oil
(containing vitamin D) reduced upper respiratory tract infection frequency [46, 47]. Vitamin
D is a hormone, which may be given in supraphysiological bolus doses. High circulating
concentrations after bolus dosing may chronically dysregulate the activity of enzymes
responsible for the synthesis and degradation of
the active vitamin D metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, resulting in decreased concentrations and limited effectiveness of this
metabolite in extra-renal tissues [48]. Vitamin
D supplementation is safe and protects against
acute respiratory infections. Very decient individuals and those not receiving bolus doses
experience the most benet [3].
15.9 Type 2 Diabetes
Type II diabetes increases viral and bacterial
infection susceptibility [49]. Most Type II diabetes respiratory research has focused on the lower
respiratory tract. Obesity can lead to obstructive
sleep apnoea and obesity-hypoventilation syndrome. Poor quality sleep is associated with
reduced immune function [50]. The adaptive
immune response is altered in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes [51]. Obesity is associated with insulin resistance and chronic low-grade
inammation. Both obesity and Type 2 diabetes
are associated with an increased risk of recurrent
and secondary infections. Obese individuals have
a higher risk of community-acquired pneumonia,
cutaneous infections and aspiration pneumonia
during hospitalizations [52]. Poor diabetic control is associated with increased infection risk
[53]. Obesity is independently associated with
high rates of Staphylococcus aureus nasal carriage—a proven risk factor for surgical-site infections [49] and for chronic rhinosinusitis [54].
Type 2 diabetic patients are more likely to have
nasal polyps, positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa
and other gram-negative rods isolated from sinus
cultures and signicantly less clinical improvement 6months after sinus surgery [55]. Improving
Type II diabetic control may be important in
managing patients with difculty sinusitis [53].
15.10 Conclusions
Nutritional deciencies may lead to cellular dysfunction and disease. Poor diabetic control is associated with increased infection risk. A milk
exclusion diet may reduce respiratory tract mucus
production. Increasing evidence indicates that probiotic supplementation is benecial in upper respiratory infections and allergic rhinitis management.
Regular vitamin D supplementation has a role in
the prevention of upper respiratory infections.

Physiology ofLacrimal Drainage

Core Messages
• There are many factors contributing to lacrimal elimination, but the most important mechanism is the canalicular and sac pump
mechanism.
• Canalicular pump is probably more important
than the sac pump because, following DCR,
tears are still drained through the canaliculi to
the nose.
• The pressure gradient between the canaliculi
and the sac cannot be produced if the canaliculus is slit open. Therefore, the lacrimal canaliculi should be preserved and should not be
damaged.
• Tear elimination is equivalent through the
upper and lower canalicular systems.
Therefore, attention should be given not to
damage both the upper and lower canaliculus.
The lacrimal drainage system works to remove
those tears secreted into the palpebral aperture to
cover the cornea at a rate of 1.2μl/min with a
total 24-h secretory volume of approximately
10ml [1]. The tear lm travels across the surface
of the globe and eyelids, enters the puncta/
ampulla, passes through the canaliculi, and enters
the lacrimal sac/nasolacrimal duct/nasal passages. With blinking (orbicularis muscle contraction), the closure of palpebral aperture starts from
the lateral and proceeds to the medial. This action
propels the tears medially toward the lacrimal
lake [1].
Factors contributing to lacrimal elimination
may include:
• Evaporation of tears from the ocular surface.
• Capillary attraction of the tears.
• Reservoir drainage into the lacrimal sac (socalled Krehbiel ow).
• Siphon effect.
• Microciliation and absorption of tears by the
lacrimal sac mucosa.
• Bernoulli’s principle and Venturi tube effect.
• Physical forces such as gravity.
• Canalicular and sac pump mechanism.

Much of the tears is lost by direct evaporation
from the ocular surface. Low humidity and wind
increase this loss. According to Schirmer, almost
half of the secreted tears were lost by evaporation [1].

16.1.2 Capillarity
Capillarity or capillary action is the ability of a
liquid to ow in a narrow tube without the assistance of gravity. This effect can be seen in the
drawing of liquids in a thin tube or in porous
materials such as paper. Capillary action can be
noticed in the drainage of tears from the eye. The
small canaliculi may act like a capillary tube. The
canaliculi may draw tears through the punctum
and transfer tears through the canaliculi. The fact
that trauma to the canaliculi and loss of capillarity does not cause loss of function indicates that
capillarity is not the only factor in drawing tears
through the punctum [1].
16.1.3 Krehbiel Flow
Krehbiel ow is the ow of the tears from the
punctum through the canaliculus due to changes
of pressure within the lacrimal sac owing to the
effect of the orbicularis tonus on both canaliculi
and tear sac when the lids are open [1, 2].
16.1.4 Siphon Eect
The word siphon refers specically to a tube in
an inverted U shape which causes a liquid to ow
uphill, above the surface of the reservoir, without
pumps, powered by the fall of the liquid as it
ows down the tube under the pull of gravity, and
is discharged at a level lower than the surface of
the reservoir. It is important that while the siphon
must touch the liquid in the (upper) reservoir (the
surface of the liquid must be above the intake
opening), it need not touch the liquid in the lower
reservoir and indeed there need not be a lower
reservoir—liquid can discharge into midair.
lacrimal uid inside the lacrimal ducts [3]. Due
to this reabsorption in the nasolacrimal sac and
duct, the amount of tears leaving the nasolacrimal duct orice in the nose is less than the amount
of tears entering the puncta.
16.1.6 Bernoulli’s Principle
andVenturi Tube Eect
The relationship between the velocity and pressure
exerted by a moving liquid is described by the
Bernoulli’s principle: as the velocity of a uid
increases, the pressure exerted by that uid
decreases. The Venturi effect is similar to Bernoulli’s
principle. The velocity of the uid increases as the
cross-sectional area decreases, with the static pressure correspondingly decreasing. According to the
laws governing uid dynamics, a uid’s velocity
must increase as it passes through a constriction to
satisfy the principle of continuity, while its pressure
must decrease to satisfy the principle of conservation of mechanical energy. An equation for the drop
in pressure due to the Venturi effect may be derived
from a combination of Bernoulli’s principle and the
continuity equation.
The canaliculi narrow close to the common
canaliculus, and the common canaliculus is a
larger structure. Bernoulli principle and Venturi
tube effect may play a role in the ow through the
canaliculi. According to the Venturi tube effect,
narrowing of the canaliculi from lateral to medial
increases the speed of ow from lateral to medial
and according to Bernoulli’s principle movement
over a low-pressure area creates a suctional
effect. Bernoulli’s principle may also play a role
in the lacrimal system at the nasal cavity sucking
tears from the valve of Hasner area into the nose
in addition to the ampulla and just distal to the
common internal punctum [4].
16.1.5 Microciliation
andReabsorption
The internal wall of the lacrimal canaliculi is
lined by a stratied epithelium. Epithelial cells
are faced by microvilli. The facing of epithelial
cells by microvilli gives hints of reabsorption of

Through thePuncta
The tears enter the puncta with three mechanisms [1]:

1. A negative pressure would develop inside the
punctum to suck the tears.
2. The small canaliculi may act as capillary tubes
and would suction the tears through the small
capillary tubes. However, capillarity is not the
only factor in drainage because a slit canaliculus where capillarity has been destroyed usually
functions well for other reasons.
3. Krehbiel’s effect (Reservoir drainage into the
lacrimal sac): Krehbiel suggested that even in
the resting phase of the blink cycle, tears pass
from the punctum through into the canaliculus. This may be due to changes in pressure
within the lacrimal sac owing to the effect of
the orbicularis tonus on both canaliculi and
tear sac when the lids are open. However, if a
DCR is performed, this effect may not be seen
and therefore it is probably not the intracanalicular suction that is causing this effect, but
sac suction [1, 2].
16.2.2 What Canalicular System Is
more Important forTear
Elimination: Upper or Lower?
Although it is believed that the upper canalicular
system is unimportant, experimental and clinical
studies show that tear elimination is equivalent
through the upper and lower canalicular systems
[5–8]. Surgeons should thus give equal consideration to a patient with lacerations of either the
upper or lower canaliculus. Studies by White
etal. [8] and Daubert etal. [5] have demonstrated
equal tear ow between the upper and lower canalicular systems using radioactive dacryoscintigraphy ow studies. Meyer et al. [7] studied
uorescein dye disappearance in 20 subjects and
found that 90% of patients showed minimal or no
impairment with monocanalicular (either upper
or lower) obstruction.
16.2.3 Flow Through theCanaliculi
into theSac
Although multiple mechanisms may contribute
to lacrimal outow, present evidence suggests
that the most important factor is the active
palpebral- canalicular pump. It has long been
noted that the blinking mechanism readily drains
tears even with the head held in an inverted position. When the palpebral blink mechanism is
impaired, however, epiphora is common, such as
in patients with facial paralysis.
16.2.4 Lacrimal Pump
There are two most popular lacrimal pump theories: one suggested by Jones [9] and the other by
Doane [10]. More recently, Becker [11] proposed
a tricompartmental model of the lacrimal pump,
which in many ways is similar to the Doane
model. The lacrimal pump models agree that eyelid closure results in a squeezing of the canaliculi
with the nasal movement of tears into the lacrimal sac. The models diverge, however, in the
analysis of the changes in the lacrimal sac pressure with eyelid closure and opening.
The rst “lacrimal pump” theory is based on
classic anatomic studies by Jones [9], describing
tendinous and muscular insertions exerting their
action on and around the lacrimal sac. The Jones
theory for this lacrimal pump involves three
components:
1. The deep heads of the pretarsal orbicularis
muscle (Horner’s muscle).
2. The deep head of the preseptal muscle (Jones’
muscle).
3. The lacrimal diaphragm (fascia around the
sac).
The tensor tarsi (Horner’s) muscle originates
on the posterior lacrimal crest and divides to surround the canaliculi. It then becomes continuous
with the pretarsal portions of the orbicularis muscle. Since some bers of this muscle run in a parallel and sometimes spiral manner, the contraction
of the muscle can draw the papillae of the puncta
in a medial direction. This narrows the ampullae
and shortens the canaliculi [12]. The Horner’s
muscle around the canaliculi pumps tears from
the punctum through to the sac [2].
An additional strand of orbicularis muscle
from the preseptal area inserting into the lacrimal
fascia and posterior lacrimal crest (the deep head

of the preseptal orbicularis muscle) was described
by Jones and this muscle is named as Jones’ muscle. According to Jones, the muscular pull of this
preseptal orbicularis muscle (Jones’ muscle) on
the lacrimal sac draws the lateral wall of the
nasolacrimal sac laterally and creates a negative
pressure within the sac [13].
With blinking, contraction of the deep preseptal orbicularis bers (Jones’ muscle) draws the
lateral wall of the nasolacrimal sac laterally, creating a negative pressure within the sac and
allowing the inspiration of tears into the sac. The
tears are forced along the canalicular system by
contraction of the deep head of the pretarsal muscle (Horner’s muscle). When the orbicularis
relaxes and the eyelid opens, the sac collapses,
forcing tears down the nasolacrimal duct. At the
same time, the canaliculi open, siphoning tears
into their lumen. Closing the eyelids again pushes
and propels the accumulated tears into the lacrimal sac [14].
Doane suggested a different mechanism of
tear propulsion through the system. He noted that
the puncta came together during the early phases
of eyelid closure and occlusion of the puncta
occurred as a rst step in the tear pump. He postulated that contraction of the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle exerts lateral traction on the
lacrimal sac wall, compresses the ampulla, and
shortens the canaliculi, causing a pressure
increase in the canaliculi propelling tear uid
within the canaliculi toward the lacrimal sac (i.e.,
positive pressure is created during a blink in both
the canaliculi and the nasolacrimal sac as a result
of muscle contraction occurring in the pretarsal
and preseptal orbicularis bers) [10, 14]. Doane
further theorized that as the tension increases on
the lacrimal fascia to open the fundus of the sac,
the inferior portion closes more tightly, preventing aspiration of air from the nose. As the eyelids
open, the puncta initially remain closed by the
opposing lid until the end of the opening movement, and partial vacuum forms within the membranous lacrimal conduit. As the eyelid-opening
phase of the blink continues, the two lacrimal
puncta open and expose the adjacent lacrimal
lake to this partial vacuum. Tears rapidly ow
into the canaliculi during the 1–3-s interval
immediately after the blink. Once again, the canaliculi ll with uid so that the pumping action of
the next blink can continue the lacrimal elimination cycle. With the relaxation of the deep head of
the preseptal orbicularis muscle, elastic recoil of
the lacrimal fascia collapses the lacrimal sac,
expelling any uid within the sac down into the
now patent nasolacrimal duct. Thus, the collapsing lacrimal drainage conduit was believed to
push the tears through the system into the nose
without the suction phase postulated by Jones
[10]. To date, most evidence supports the Doane
model [15].
Becker observed that the superolateral wall of
the lacrimal sac, which is attached to the deep head
of the preseptal orbicularis, moved laterally with
lid closure and medially with lid opening. The
inferior half of the lateral wall of the lacrimal sac
moved medially with lid closure and laterally with
lid opening. Becker suggested a tricompartment
model of the lacrimal pump that incorporates these
ndings. With lid closure, the orbicularis muscle
contracts, compressing the canaliculi and pulling
the superior half of the lateral wall of the lacrimal
sac laterally. This creates a lower pressure in the
superior sac, allowing tears to be propelled from
the canaliculi into the sac. At the same time, the
inferior half of the lateral sac wall moves medially,
creating a positive pressure in the inferior sac and
nasolacrimal duct, thus forcing tears down the
duct into the nose. With lid opening, the orbicularis muscle relaxes, allowing the canaliculi to
open and the superior half of the lateral sac wall to
move medially. The resulting negative intracanalicular pressure allows tears to ow from the lacrimal lake into the canaliculi, and the higher pressure
in the superior sac closes the valve of Rosenmüller
and forces tears from the superior to inferior sac
and proximal nasolacrimal duct. At the same time,
the inferior half of the lateral sac wall moves laterally, resulting in negative pressure in the inferior
sac and nasolacrimal duct [11]. These observations are in agreement with Doane’s model, with
the overall lacrimal sac pressure increasing with
eyelid closure and reducing with eyelid opening.
These proposed lacrimal sac pumping mechanisms are based on anatomic studies and likely
do not have a large role in normal lacrimal elimi-
