Abstract Background The first European case series are detecting a very high frequency of chemosensitive disorders in COVID‐19 patients, ranging between 19.4% and 88%. Methods Olfactory gustatory function was objectively tested 72 patients treated at University Hospital Sassari. Results Overall, 73.6% the reported having or had disorders. assessment showed variable degree hyposmia 60 cases anosmia two patients. Gustatory revealed hypogeusia 33 complete ageusia one patient. Statistically...
Abstract Background Objective data on chemosensitive disorders during COVID‐19 are lacking in the Literature. Methods Multicenter cohort study that involved four Italian hospitals. Three hundred and forty‐five patients underwent objective evaluation. Results Chemosensitive self‐reported by 256 (74.2%) but 30.1% of 89 who did not report dysfunctions proved objectively hyposmic. Twenty‐five percentage were seen serious long‐lasting complaints. All asymptomatic had a slight lowering olfactory...
The long-term recovery rate of chemosensitive functions in coronavirus disease 2019 patients has not yet been determined.A multicentre prospective study on 138 was conducted. Olfactory and gustatory were prospectively evaluated for 60 days.Within the first 4 days 2019, 84.8 per cent had dysfunction that gradually improved over observation period. most significant increase scores occurred 10 taste between 20 smell. At end period (60 after symptom onset), 7.2 still severe dysfunctions. risk...
Abstract Objective To investigate the accuracy of Chat‐Based Generative Pre‐trained Transformer (ChatGPT) in answering questions and solving clinical scenarios head neck surgery. Study Design Observational valuative study. Setting Eighteen surgeons from 14 Italian surgery units. Methods A total 144 encompassing different subspecialities 15 comprehensive were developed. Questions inputted into ChatGPT4, resulting answers evaluated by researchers using (range 1‐6), completeness 1‐3),...
The widespread diffusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms is revolutionizing how health-related information disseminated, thereby highlighting the need for tools to evaluate quality such information. This study aimed propose and validate Quality Assessment Medical (QAMAI), a tool specifically designed assess health provided by AI platforms.
Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the impact of prompt construction on quality artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot responses in context head and neck surgery. Study Design Observational evaluative study. Setting An international collaboration involving 16 researchers from 11 European centers specializing Methods A total 24 questions, divided into clinical scenarios, theoretical patient inquiries, were developed. These questions entered ChatGPT‐4o both with without use a...
Chemosensitive disorders are very frequent in the early stages of COVID-19 and paucisymptomatic cases. These patients typically placed home quarantine. This study has aim validating a new olfactory gustatory objective evaluation test these patients.Thirty-three home-quarantined have undergone self-administered chemosensitive day before control swab. On this occasion, underwent operator-administered already validated tests. The results were finally compared.The differences between two tests...
BACKGROUND: The growing number of COVID-19 patients with long-lasting olfactory disorders makes it necessary to identify effective treatments that enhance the spontaneous recovery function. METHODS: Multicentre randomised case-control study involved 18 related anosmia or severe hyposmia for more than 30 days. Nine were prescribed systemic prednisone and nasal irrigation betamethasone, ambroxol rinazine 15 other 9, untreated, used as controls. function was evaluated CCCRC test at 20 40 days...
Olfactory dysfunction represents one of the most frequent symptoms coronavirus disease 2019, affecting about 70 per cent patients. However, pathogenesis olfactory in 2019 has not yet been elucidated.This report presents radiological and histopathological findings a patient who presented with anosmia persisting for more than three months after infection severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2.The biopsy demonstrated significant disruption epithelium. This shifts focus away from...
Abstract Background The long-term recovery rate for coronavirus disease 2019 related chemosensory disturbances has not yet been clarified. Methods Olfactory and gustatory functions were assessed with psychophysical tests in patients the first seven days from onset one, two, three six months after evaluation. Results A total of 300 completed study. improvement olfactory function was significant at two-month follow up. At end observation period, 27 per cent still experienced a persistent...
The lack of objective data makes it difficult to establish the prognostic value chemosensitive disorders in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. We aimed prospectively monitor patients diagnosed with COVID-19 see if severity olfactory and gustatory dysfunction associates subsequent severity.Multicentre prospective study that recruited 106 subjects at diagnosis. Chemosensitive functions were assessed psychophysical tests within 4 days clinical onset, 10 20 days. Daily body...
Abstract Background An objective evaluation of coronavirus disease 2019 in the first days infection is almost impossible, as affected individuals are generally home quarantine, and there limited accessibility for operator who should perform test. To overcome this limitation, a recently validated psychophysical self-administered test was used, which can be performed remotely assessment early-stage patients. Methods Olfactory gustatory functions were objectively assessed 300 patients 7 from...
In this study, we investigated whether treatment with palmitoylethanolamide and luteolin (PEA-LUT) leads to improvement in the quantitative or qualitative measures of olfactory dysfunction relief from mental clouding patients affected by long COVID. Patients COVID were allocated different groups based on presence (“previously treated”) absence (“naïve”) prior exposure training. then randomized receive PEA-LUT alone combination Olfactory function memory assessed at monthly intervals using...
(1) Background: Persistent olfactory (POD) and gustatory (PGD) dysfunctions are one of the most frequent symptoms long-Coronavirus Disease 2019 but their effect on quality life (QoL) patients is still largely unexplored. (2) Methods: An online survey was administered to individuals who reported have had SARS-CoV-2 infection at least 6 months prior with persisting COVID-19 (using COVID symptom index), including ratings POD PGD, physical (PCS) mental (MCS) components were assessed using...
This work aimed to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility of 63 Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains isolated from Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, GG and type strain L. DSM 20021.Antimicrobial was determined by disc diffusion method on 41 antibiotics.Inhibition zone diameter carefully measured results (the mean four determinations) were expressed in terms resistance or susceptibility.All cheese showed six antibiotics (cefixime, vancomycin, neomycin, enoxacin, pefloxacin sulphamethoxazole plus...
Background: The objective evaluation of the olfactory function coronavirus disease 2019 patients is difficult because logistical and operator-safety problems. For this reason, in literature, data obtained from psychophysical tests are few based on small case series. Methods: A multicenter, cohort study conducted seven European hospitals between March 22 August 20, 2020. Sniffin-Sticks test Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center orthonasal olfaction were used to objectively...
The purpose of this multicenter case-control study was to evaluate a group patients at least 1 year after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with Sniffin' Sticks tests and compare the results control population quantify potential bias introduced by underlying prevalence olfactory dysfunction (OD) in general population. included 170 cases controls. In COVID-19 group, 26.5% had OD (anosmia 4.7%, hyposmia 21.8%) versus 3.5% (6 hyposmia). TDI score (threshold, discrimination, identification)...
