conclusions based on available literature recommendations for anesthesiologists caring for patients at risk for this occurrence are presented in this review. the symptoms are usually temporary as in the majority of the patients the sensory receptor cells are able to regenerate themselves after injury. anesthesia providers need to aware of this phenomenon to be able to reassure patients and poss...

OBJECTIVES To assess olfactory function of patients with dementia. Odour detection ability is impaired in clinical Parkinson's disease. Evidence of impaired detection in patients with clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's disease is inconsistent. No studies of olfaction have been neuropathologically validated. METHODS The olfactory function of 92 patients with dementia and 94 controls was assessed...

In addition to the canonical olfactory receptors, TAARs were currently suggested to be a second class of chemosensory receptors in the olfactory epithelium of vertebrates. In contrast to several deorphanized murine TAARs, agonists for the intact human TAAR genes 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 that are potentially expressed in the human olfactory epithelium have not been determined so far. Moreover, the physi...

A 52-year-old Caucasian female with complaints of chronic nasal obstruction and anosmia was conservative treated for 2 years. The patient was sent to our tertiary care center after developing a forehead swelling and decreased visual acuity. Contrast-enhanced CT-Scan and MRI (Figure 1 & 2) showed a large nasal cavity tumor, achieving both frontal sinuses, with bone expansion and erosion, and inf...
