Olfaction and gustation abilities after a total laryngectomy
BACKGROUND A laryngectomy affects many of a patient's functions. Besides speech and respiratory-tract problems, olfaction and gustation problems can also have an influence on the quality of life. The aim of this study was to find out how often various nasal problems and decreased gustation appear after a laryngectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and five laryngectomized patients (9 women...
متن کاملHandbook of Artificial Olfaction Machines Chapter 22 : Environmental Monitoring
In this chapter, we review some of the previous proof-of-principle work done in this field. Examples of water, land and air monitoring experiments are examined. Four case studies are then presented. The first three demonstrate the ability of the e-nose to classify odors from animal confinement facilities (odor source determination, odorant threshold detection, and odor abatement evaluation). Th...
متن کاملThe International Meeting of the Committee on Olfaction and Gustation of the German Society of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery
It is known that both smell and taste functions decrease with aging. However, some clinical questions remain, such as the independence of each sensation loss and the correlation between a person’s actual sensory loss and awareness of the loss. In this research, we investigated both the olfactory and taste functions of aged subjects together with their awareness of sensation loss. Effects of ana...

brates and insects. In Drosophila, olfactory cues are detected by neurons located inside sensory hairs or " sensilla " on the antenna and maxillary palp. A family (Drosophila odorant receptors) have been identified in 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard the fly genome that are thought to mediate odorant As seen in vertebrates, analysis of the axonal projections of Drosophila olfactory neurons When you s...
متن کاملGustation genetics: sweet gustducin!
Two recent studies, the second of which is reported herein, provide evidence that genetic variation in the sweet receptor subunit, TAS1R3, and the second messenger, gustducin (GNAT3), affect the ability of people to correctly sort ascending concentrations of sucrose. These findings raise questions about how variation in the TAS1R3 and GNAT3 gene shape the human sweet tooth and its unwelcome con...
