Abstract Importance Sudden smell loss is a specific early symptom of COVID-19, with an estimated prevalence ~40% to 75%. Smell impairment affects physical and mental health, dietary behavior. Thus, it critical understand the rate time course recovery. Objective To characterize function recovery up 11 months post COVID-19 infection. Settings, Participants This longitudinal survey individuals suffering COVID-19-related assessed disease symptoms gustatory olfactory function. (n=12,313) who...
Abstract Purpose gustatory ability is a marker of health not routinely tested in the medical practice. The current study wants to assess whether taste strips can be useful monitor function from home. Methods we performed simple sensory tests lab setting vs. unassisted testing at home, and compared results with self-reports smell. Using paper impregnated sweet, bitter, salty, or sour tastants, two trigeminal stimuli (capsaicin, tannins) high low concentrations, assessed 74 participants (47...
Taste dysfunctions may occur, for example, after viral infection, surgery, medications, or with age. In clinical practice, it is important to assess patients' taste function rapidity and reliability. This study aimed develop a test that assesses human gustatory sensitivity together somatosensory functions of astringency spiciness. A total 154 healthy subjects 51 patients chemosensory dysfunction rated their sensitivity. They underwent whole-mouth identification 12 filter-paper strips...
In healthy humans, taste sensitivity varies widely, influencing food selection and nutritional status. Chemosensory reductions have been associated with numerous pathological disorders or pharmacological interventions. Reliable psychophysical methods are crucial resources to analyze the function during routine clinical assessment. However, in daily routine, they often considered be too time-consuming. We used Supervised Learning (SL) regression method high precision overall status of...

Abstract Gustatory ability is an important marker of health status, including COVID-19 disease. We compare self-reporting with home and lab psychophysical “taste strips” tests in healthy subjects. The taste test consisted paper strips impregnated sweet, bitter, salty, or sour tastants, the trigeminal stimulus capsaicin, each high low concentration. was carried out either a controlled environment (74 participants, 47 women) being administered by experimenter self-administered participants at...
Abstract The gustatory, olfactory, and trigeminal systems are anatomically separated. However, they interact cognitively to give rise oral perception, which can significantly affect health quality of life. We built a Supervised Learning (SL) regression model that, exploiting subjects’ features, was capable automatically analyzing with high precision the self-ratings sensitivity healthy participants patients chemosensory loss, determining contribution its three components: trigeminal....
