1. 1. Evaluation of medical and/or surgical treatment of anosmia/hyposmia in association with inflammatory disease of the upper airway

   Författare :Ebba Hedén Blomqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Nasal polyposis; olfaction; medical surgical treatment; corticosteroids; scoring; staging; endoscopy; symptoms; anosmia; hyposmia; olfactory threshold test butanol ; computed tomography; sinuses; well-being; clinical; evaluation;

   Sammanfattning : Background: There is a lack of evidence-based, prospective studies in treatment of nasal polyposis. The correlations between symptoms, polyp scores and computed tomography (CT) scans have not been studied sufficiently. Little, if any, sense of smell is common in nasal inflammatory disease. LÄS MER

3. 2. Clinical, immunological and olfactory aspects of sinusitis and nasal polyposis : with special reference to patients with cystic fibrosis

   Författare :Gert Henriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Nasal polyposis; sinusitis; cystic fibrosis; allergy; bacteria; in-patient; interleukin-8; muramidase; nasal lavage fluid; polymerase chain reaction; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; smell; olfaction; anosmia; hyposmia; olfactory threshold test; identification smell test; germ-free animal; T-cell receptor; normal microbiota.;

   Sammanfattning : The otorhinolaryngological approach to the problem concerning rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis in the recessive genetic disorder of cystic fibrosis (CF) has been developed based on data from international studies. Opinions differ on how to treat the otolaryngological manifestations of CF (sinusitis, nasal polyps and hyposmia). LÄS MER

4. 3. Clinical aspects of olfaction

   Författare :Annika Brämerson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :olfactory disorders; epidemiology; quality of life; diagnosis; event-related potentials; radiation therapy;

   Sammanfattning : The most important aims of this thesis were: (1) to investigate the prevalence of olfactory dysfunction in an adult Swedish population and to relate dysfunction to factors of possible impact on olfaction, (2) to present our experience with patients seeking medical attention for olfactory disorders, (3) to describe the relationship between detection and identification tests for olfactory disorders, (4) to assess olfactory event-related potentials (OERPs) in patients with olfactory impairment and in healthy controls, thereby exploring possibilities and limitations regarding to the clinical utility of the method, and (5) to evaluate the effect on the sense of smell of radiation in patients treated for head and neck cancer. Materials and methods: In the population-based study, 1900 adult subjects were drawn from the municipal register (I). LÄS MER

5. 4. Non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease : modeling and mechanisms

   Författare :Débora Masini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, typically characterized by the progressive death of midbrain dopaminergic neurons projecting from the substantia nigra to other areas within the basal ganglia. Historically, PD has been diagnosed as a purely motor disorder dominated by bradykinesia (slowness of movement), rigidity, resting tremor, and postural instability. LÄS MER

7. 5. Olfactory function after total laryngectomy in Swedish patients after rehabilitation with the Nasal Airflow-Inducing Maneuver

   Författare :Birgit Risberg-Berlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :olfaction; total laryngectomy; Nasal Airflow-Inducing Maneuver; health-related quality of life;

   Sammanfattning : After a total laryngectomy the upper and lower airways are disconnected resulting in a wide range of adverse effects, e.g. deterioration of nasal functions in breathing, loss or decrease of normal sense of smell and taste, as well as loss of normal voice. LÄS MER
