The Olfactory System: Basic Anatomy and Physiology for General Otorhinolaryngologists [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2023
Olfaction is one of the five basic human senses, and it is known to be one of the most primitive senses. The sense of olfaction may have been critical for human survival in prehistoric society, and although many believe its importance has diminished over

Poor preoperative performance at Clock Drawing Test is associated with postoperative decline in olfaction in older patients: an observational pilot study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2023
Background Decline in olfaction may occur after general anesthesia, but the exact incidence and underlying physiopathology remain scarcely investigated. Olfactory dysfunction arises with aging and is known to be linked to cognitive impairment.
