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

    Author : Gert Henriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : 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.;

    Abstract : 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). READ MORE

  4. 2. Odour-mediated nectar foraging in the silver Y moth, Autographa gamma

    Author : Dainius Plepys; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; predation risk; Noctuidae; Lepidoptera; flight tunnel; GC-EAD; single sensillum; sprayer; ultrasound; floral volatiles; attraction; foraging; mate-finding; lilac aldehydes; olfactory receptor neurones; Ecology; Ekologi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : It is well established that floral odours play a significant role in the nectar foraging behaviour in Lepidoptera and other insect orders. Floral odour may elicit searching, alighting and feeding behaviours alone or in concert with visual stimuli. READ MORE

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

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

    Abstract : 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.

  6. 4. Air pollution and dementia in a low exposure setting : the role of noise, olfaction, and theapoe gene

    Author : John Andersson; Maria Nordin; Anna Oudin; Anna Sundström; Tom Russ; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Air pollution; Road traffic; NOx; dementia; APOE; Alzheimer’s disease; Apolipoprotein E; olfaction; particulate matter; vascular dementia; odor identification; odor detection; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : Previous research indicates an association between air pollution exposure, and risk of dementia. Still, a number of factors that may play a role in this association remain to be explored. READ MORE
