Most odorants not only stimulate olfactory receptor neurons but also activate the intranasal trigeminal nerve. The simultaneous activation of the olfactory and the trigeminal system leads to an interaction in the brain. Therefore, assessment of the trigeminal impact of odorants may be difficult in subjects with a normal sense of smell. To obtain a deeper insight into both, mechanisms of changes...

Twenty-one acute, psychotic, unmedicated patients with a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia were investigated after admission to the hospit...
متن کاملSensory detection of glutaraldehyde in drinking water-emergence of sensitivity and specific anosmia.
A study of 30 young adults (15 males, 15 females), screened to have normal olfaction, measured detection of the flavor of glutaraldehyde, a biocide that could occur in disinfected potable water. Over the range of interest, up to 100 p.p.m., flavor derived from olfactory stimulation. Higher concentrations would cause oral irritation.

متن کاملAnosmia in alkaline battery workers.
The sense of smell of 106 alkaline battery workmen exposed at their work to cadmium and nickel dust has been compared with a control group of 84 men matched for age. The battery workers reported significantly more anosmia than the controls (15% to zero) and did less well in the phenol smelling test (27 3% to 4 8 %). Cadmium proteinuria was found in 17 of the battery workers, 11 of whom showed v...
