'Sniffin' Sticks' is a new test of nasal chemosensory performance based on pen-like odor dispensing devices. It comprises three tests olfactory function, namely for threshold (n-butanol, testing by means single staircase), discrimination (16 pairs odorants, triple forced choice) and identification common multiple choice from four verbal items per odorant). After extensive preliminary investigations the were applied to group 104 healthy volunteers (52 female, 52 male, mean age 49.5 years,...
To provide up-to-date and detailed normative data based on a large-scale sample, increasing diagnostic validity by reference to narrow age groups as previous values were upon smaller sample sizes-especially in the group of older subjects.Data obtained from 9139 healthy subjects (4928 females aged 5-96 years 4211 males 5-91 years). The standard "Sniffin' Sticks" test was applied, comprising threshold (T), discrimination (D) identification (I) subtests, yielding TDI sum score.Hyposmia...
Abstract Objectives: Olfactory function is known to be modulated by repeated exposure odors. The aim of this investigation was whether patients with olfactory loss would benefit from “Training” odors in terms an improvement their general function. It hypothesized that Training should produce both improved sensitivity towards the used process and overall increase Study Design: prospective study performed dysfunction. Methods: One group (n = 40), whereas another part did not 16). Exclusion...
To investigate the consequences of olfactory loss and explore specific questions related to effect duration loss, degree sensitivity, cause loss.A total 278 consecutive patients with hyposmia or anosmia were examined.Causes categorized as follows: trauma (17%), upper respiratory tract infection (URI) (39%), sinonasal disease (21%), congenital (3%), idiopathic causes (18%), other (3%). Our data suggest that (1) recovery rate was higher in URI than from causes; (2) likelihood seemed decrease...
Goals of the study were to evaluate frequency olfactory dysfunction in a large representative population without sinonasal complaints and investigate extent which general pathological conditions, medications, aging influence olfaction.Prospective.Results based on an odor identification test ("Sniffin' Sticks") reported from 1240 subjects. The subjects presented themselves otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic with relatively mild transitory unrelated upper airways. A detailed...
The purpose of this study was to determine cognitive correlates olfactory performance across three different tasks. A total 170 men and women (30–87 years age) were assessed in sensitivity, discrimination, identification. Also, participants tested a range tests covering executive functioning, semantic memory, episodic memory. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that proficiency functioning memory contributed significantly odor discrimination identification performance, whereas all the...
Recent studies support the idea of olfactory dysfunction as a very early sign idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). Aim present study was to clinically follow-up patients with hyposmia find out percentage developing IPD after 4 years time. At baseline, tests had been combined transcranial sonography substantia nigra and 123I-FP-CIT SPECT imaging. neurological examination, 7% individuals developed clinical IPD. Altogether, 13% presented abnormalities motor system. Our data suggest that...
Although the view that women's olfactory abilities outperform men's is taken for granted, some studies involving large samples suggested male and female are actually similar. To address this discrepancy, we conducted a meta-analysis of existing on olfaction, targeting possible sex differences. The analyzed sample comprised n = 8 848 (5 065 women 3 783 men) threshold (as measured with Sniffin Sticks Test; SST), 067 (4 496 571 discrimination (SST), 13 670 (7 501 6 169 identification total 7...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects olfactory training (OT) on function in patients with persistent postinfectious dysfunction (PIOD). Randomized, single-blind, controlled, multicenter crossover study. Twelve tertiary university medical centers participated. Investigations were performed at three visits (baseline, after 18 weeks, and 36 weeks), including only subjects PIOD <24-months duration. At each visit, participants received detailed assessment function. Seventy trained...
Background: Olfactory dysfunction is an increasingly recognised condition, associated with reduced quality of life and major health outcomes such as neurodegeneration death.However, translational research in this field limited by heterogeneity methodological approach, including definitions impairment, improvement appropriate assessment techniques.Accordingly, effective treatments for smell loss are limited.In effort to encourage high comparable work field, among others, we propose the...
