BACKGROUND
Olfactory training is a novel intervention that has been used to treat olfactory dysfunction. This study attempted to investigate the effect of olfactory training in patients with traumatic anosmia.
METHODS
Patients with a clear history of anosmia after experiencing a head injury and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate types and possible causes of smell disorders in patients who attended the Smell and Taste Clinic, Siriraj Hospital.
METHODS
Medical records of patients with smell disorders who attended the Smell and Taste Clinic, Siriraj Hospital between July 2002 and August 2005 were
Using 1952 dysosmia patients, we studied the difference in olfactory response to 5 types of odorous substances used in the standard olfactory acuity test in Japan--beta-phenyl ethyl alcohol, methyl cyclopentenolone, isovaleric acid, gamma-undecalactone, and scatol. Olfactory dysfunctions included
The objective of this study was to treat posttraumatic anosmia with oral steroid and evaluate its effect. One-hundred sixteen posttraumatic patients whose olfactory thresholds were -1.0 by the phenyl ethyl alcohol threshold test assembled in our department. They were treated with a course of
Although anaesthetic drugs are included among the aetiological factors of anosmia, limited reports exist of anosmia induced by general anaesthesia. We present the case of a 60-year-old female patient with a 3-month history of altered smell and taste immediately after recovery from general
This study investigates the effect of olfactory training on odor identification in patients with traumatic anosmia.Patients with a clear history of loss of smell after head injury, and whose phenyl ethyl alcohol (PEA) odor detection thresholds remained at BACKGROUND
Olfactory bulb (OB) volume has been shown to be an indicator of olfactory function. However, few studies have been done in Asia to investigate the influence of different disorders on OB volume.
METHODS
Data from patients with posttraumatic anosmia were collected in our department. Their
OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of zinc and steroid in the treatment of traumatic anosmia.
METHODS
A prospective, randomized study.
METHODS
Academic medical center.
METHODS
Patients with a clear history of loss of smell after head injury and whose thresholds were -1 measured by the phenyl ethyl
OBJECTIVE
To present a statistical evaluation of a new olfactory test, Biolfa.
METHODS
The olfactory test was carried out in individuals with normal olfactory function (n=67; 31 males; mean age 27.4 years) and in patients with mild, moderate or severe hyposmia (n=155; 61 males; mean age 54.6 years).
In patients with chemosensory complaints, a head-to-head comparison of unilateral olfaction threshold testing with the Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol Smell Threshold Test (PEA) and the OLFACT-RL Odor Threshold Test (OLFACT-RL) was undertaken. The charts of 23 consecutive patients presenting with chemosensory
An 18-year-old Caucasian man presented with a lack of sense of surrounding smell. The problem was first noticed when a family member discussed the smell of the food, which he had no idea what it was. The patient had normal development and sexual function, no history of trauma, surgery, chemical
Using T & T Olfactometer which had been developed and standardized for clinical use in Japan recently, measurements of olfactory thresholds of odor detection and of odor recognition were carried out on 33 subjects (26 males and 7 females), who had worked in a chromate producing factory. The subjects
To assess olfactory function, various measures are used in clinical routine. In this study, the Sniff Magnitude Test (SMT), a test considering the sniff response to an odor, was applied to patients with olfactory dysfunction (n = 49) and to a control group without subjective olfaction disorder (n =
Odors can have repulsive effects on rodents based on two complementary adaptive behaviors: the avoidance of predator odors (potentially dangerous) and the avoidance of trigeminal stimulants (potentially noxious). The present study aimed to compare the behavioral effects on mice of odors according to
OBJECTIVE
To establish the detectability of olfactory event-related potentials (OERP) in relation to the results from psychophysical tests of olfactory function.
METHODS
Fifty-nine men and 64 women (aged 19-89 years) participated all of whom presented themselves to a specialized "Smell and Taste
