Dysgeusia was investigated in 11 patients with thalamic infarction and 13 patients with corona radiata infarction to locate the gustatory pathways based on the sites of the lesions. Dysgeusia was present in 4 out of 11 patients with thalamic infarction and 3 out of 13 patients with corona radiata
We reported a case of pontine infarction presenting as diminished taste on the contralateral side. A 67-year-old man was hospitalized with a sudden onset of right hypogeusia. No neurological abnormalities were found except diminished taste in the areas innervated by the chorda tympani, greater
BACKGROUND
Altered food preference or preoccupation with certain food after stroke has been rarely described in the literature.
METHODS
We report four Korean patients who developed altered food preference secondary to unilateral cortical infarction.
RESULTS
Two patients showed preoccupation with
The effect of oral Tensiomin treatment, 53.4 mg daily in 29 patients suffering from congestive heart failure associated with acute of chronic forms of ischaemic heart disease, e.g., recent and/or advanced myocardial infarction, aneurysm etc. was studied. The acute and long-term beneficial
Taste(gustation)is one of the five senses, and comprises the types: sweet, bitter, salty, sour, and umami. Taste disorders, such as dysgeusia and parageusia, are classified into 2 types: those with peripheral origin and those with central origin. The peripheral origin-type taste disorder is caused
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous cervicocephalic artery dissection (sCAD) of more than two cervical arteries is rare.
METHODS
Vascular and potential sCAD risk factors, triggering events, clinical and neuroimaging findings, and outcome of patients with multiple sCAD were studied. Patients were drawn from
Knowledge of human central taste pathways is largely based on textbook (anatomical dissections) and animal (electrophysiology in vivo) data. It is only recently that further functional insight into human central gustatory pathways has been achieved. Magnetic resonance imaging studies, especially
OBJECTIVE
To review the beneficial and harmful effects of laughter.
METHODS
Narrative synthesis.
METHODS
We searched Medline (1946 to June 2013) and Embase (1974 to June 2013) for reports of benefits or harms from laughter in humans, and counted the number of papers in each
Spontaneous dissection of the cervical internal carotid artery (sICAD) causes, in more than 90% of patients, carotid territory ischemia, local signs and symptoms on the side of dissection, or both, whereas the remaining sICAD remain clinically asymptomatic. Local signs and symptoms include head,
The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic is an unprecedented worldwide health crisis. COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a highly infectious pathogen that is genetically similar to SARS-CoV. Similar to other recent coronavirus outbreaks, including SARS and MERS, SARS-CoV-2 infected patients
