Les Ig Nobel ont été décernés cette année jeudi 9 septembre dernier au théatre Sanders de l'Université de Harvard !
Dans la catégorie "Médecine", le prix a été décerné à l'équipe turco, germano britannique, d'ailleurs curieux que les français et italiens n'y aient pas participé :

Suite à leur article qui sans nul doute va intéresser plus d'un lecteur (F/H) ici, à savoir si le sexe peut améliorer votre fonction nasale (décongestionner le nez par exemple), les résultats de cette étude vont en satisfaire plus d'une ou d'un !
Si vous préférez les rémèdes naturels à la pharmacologie, plus de pschiit dans le nez, alors n'hésitez plus un instant.
Les conclusions de cette étude sont claires :
« Les rapports sexuels avec orgasme peuvent améliorer la respiration par le nez de la même manière qu'un décongestionnant nasal jusqu'à 60 minutes chez les patients atteints d'une obstruction nasale.»
Quelques biais cependant, la faible cohorte de l'étude, 18 couples homme / femme, les couples femme / femme ou homme / homme n'ont pas été intégrés à la cohorte, ni les adeptes de l'onanisme (F/H), ni les ménages à 3 pour s'assurer que l'effet de groupe n'offre pas un effet démultiplicateur. 
L'étude ne précise pas non plus si une recrudescence des congestions nasales a été constatée après la fin de l'étude clinique, ainsi que les bénéfices / risques sur le long terme.
Ni si les prescriptions de séances d’orgasmes en prophylaxie seront proposées sur l’ordonnance de son médecin traitant ! 
Et si ce traitement fera l’objet d’une prise en charge par la sécu ?
L'étude en question :
« Can Sex Improve Nasal Function?—An Exploration of the Link Between Sex and Nasal Function »

Conclusions:
Sexual intercourse with climax can improve nasal breathing to the same degree as application of nasal decongestant for up to 60 minutes in patients having nasal obstruction. »

« Abstract
Objectives:
This study was conducted to examine the impact of sexual activity on nasal breathing and compare such effect to that of a nasal decongestant.
Methods:
We evaluated nasal breathing at 5 different times: (1) before sexual activity (baseline), (2) immediately after sexual activity, (3) 30 minutes, (4) 1 hour (5), and 3 hours after sexual climax. Same measurements were taken on the second day following application of nasal decongestant spray. For evaluation of nasal breathing, we used a visual analogue scale (VAS). Additionally, we used a portable rhinometric device to measure resistance and nasal flow.

Conclusions:
Sexual intercourse with climax can improve nasal breathing to the same degree as application of nasal decongestant for up to 60 minutes in patients having nasal obstruction.
Results:
Nasal breathing improved significantly after sexual intercourse with climax to the same degree as after application of nasal decongestant for up to 60 minutes, as measured subjectively with the VAS (sex −3.6, P < .001; spray −3.2, P < .001).
This was confirmed in the objective rhinometric data as mean nasal flow (mL/s) increased while resistance decreased immediately (flow sex +214, P < .001; flow spray +235, P < .001), 30 (flow sex +249, P < .001; flow spray +287, P < .001), and 60 minutes (flow sex +180, P < .001; flow spray +287, P < .001) post-intervention.
Nasal breathing was back to the baseline level after 3 hours following sexual intercourse, while it continued to be improved for longer after application of nasal decongestant.
Only participants having nasal obstruction (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation score >30) showed nasal function improvement after sex.
Conclusion
Sexual intercourse with climax improves nasal breathing to the same degree as application of nasal decongestant for up to 60 minutes as measured with subjective VAS. This was confirmed by objective rhinometric data mean as nasal flow increased while resistance decreased immediately, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes post-intervention. Three hours after sexual intercourse, nasal breathing was back to the baseline level in the “sex group,” whereas after application of nasal decongestant spray, nasal breathing was still significantly improved. Only participants having nasal obstruction (NOSE score >30) showed improvement after sex.
