Through a recent upsurge of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, the clinical assessment of most of the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) patients clearly presents a health condition with the loss of oro-naso-sensory (ONS) perception, responsible for the detection
Physiological and nutritional state can modify sensory ability and perception through hormone signaling. Obesity and related metabolic disorders present a chronic imbalance in hormonal signaling that could impact sensory systems. In the olfactory system, external chemical cues are transduced into
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is characterised by delayed puberty and infertility. Congenital HH comprises Kallmann syndrome with hypo-/anosmia and idiopathic HH (IHH). The genetic origin remains unknown in most cases, but the defective GnRH receptor gene (GNRHR) accounts for a considerable
A few examples of hypothalamic, peptidergic disorders leading to clinical signs and symptoms are presented in this review. Increased activity of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and decreased activity of the vasopressin neurons in the biological
We describe an overweight COVID-19 patient with respiratory distress preceded by anosmia/dysgeusia with no lung injury shown on CT, angio-CT or ventilation/perfusion scans. Orthopnoea and paradoxical abdominal respiration were identified. Phrenic paralysis, demonstrated by examination of patient
Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a multi-systemic infection caused by the novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that has become a pandemic. Although its prevailing symptoms include anosmia,
Mutations in the prokineticin 2 peptide (PROK2) and its seven-transmembrane domain type 2 receptor PROKR2 are newly identified molecular culprits in autosomal Kallmann syndrome (KS). Prok2 and prokr2 gene knockout mice both have agenesis or hypoplasia of the olfactory bulbs, associated with
Cilia are rigid, centriole-derived, microtubule-based organelles present in a majority of vertebrate cells including neurons. They are considered the cellular "antennae" attuned for detecting a range of extracellular signals including photons, odorants, morphogens, hormones and mechanical forces.
There is no data on patients with severe obesity who developed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) after bariatric surgery. Four gastric bypass operations, performed in a 2-week period between Feb 24 and March 4, 2020, in Tehran, Iran, were complicated with COVID-19. The mean age and body mass index
