概括
鼻内三角管功能障碍影响超过三分之一的老年人,但往往没有被识别. 超脂血可能与这种损伤有关,因此需要在更大的群体中进行进一步研究.
科学领域:
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 感官科学 感官科学
背景情况:
- 鼻内三角神经功能对于检测环境刺激至关重要.
- 与年龄相关的味觉和嗅觉下降已被记录在案,但三角神经功能障碍 (化解) 在衰老中较少被理解.
研究的目的:
- 在老年人中描述三神经功能.
- 为了探索三关节功能障碍在这个人群中的影响.
主要方法:
- 招募了28名50岁以上的参与者进行衰老队列研究.
- 进行了化学感知问卷,患者报告的结果测量 (PROM) 和味觉,嗅觉和三角管功能 (欧卡利普托尔侧面化) 的心理物理测试.
- 分析了三功能,其他感官表现,患者报告的指标和人口统计因素之间的关联数据.
主要成果:
- 患者报告的三关节功能障碍 (9.5/100 VAS) 比嗅觉 (32.9/100 VAS) 或味觉 (20.6/100 VAS) 缺陷要轻微.
- 心理物理测试显示,35.7%的参与者患有三关节功能障碍,57.1%的参与者患有嗅觉功能障碍,28.6%的参与者患有味觉功能障碍.
- 高胆固醇血症与较差的三角线心理物理表现显著相关 (p=0.008).
结论:
- 几乎三分之一的老年人表现出经过心理物理确认的鼻内三角管功能障碍,这通常是未被充分认识到的.
- 超脂血症可能与三角神经损伤有关.
- 为了验证这些发现,需要对更大,有前景的队列进行进一步的研究.

Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure
9.1K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...

Cranial Nerves: Types Part I
2.2K
Cranial nerves are responsible for transmitting motor and sensory information between the brain and various parts of the body. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves, with the first six being essential in sensory perception, motor control, and autonomic functions related to the head and neck.
Olfactory Nerve (Cranial Nerve I)
The olfactory nerve, or cranial nerve I, is unique as it is purely sensory and dedicated to the sense of smell. This nerve originates in the olfactory epithelium of the...

Cranial Part of Parasympathetic Division
1.1K
The cranial part of the parasympathetic division plays a crucial role in regulating the visceral functions of the head and specific structures in the neck, thoracic, and abdominopelvic cavities. Preganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic division exit the brain through cranial nerves III (oculomotor), VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), and X (vagus), delivering parasympathetic output to the respective visceral structures.

Cranial Nerves: Overview and Anatomy
1.7K
The cranial nerves are an important part of the complex network of nerves in the human body. These nerves emerge directly from the brain and are responsible for transmitting essential information between the brain and various parts of the head and neck. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, systematically numbered using Roman numerals from I to XII, beginning from the anterior and moving to the posterior of the brain. Each cranial nerve is uniquely identified by names that reflect its function...

Cranial Nerves: Types Part II
2.0K
Cranial nerves are responsible for transmitting motor and sensory information between the brain and various parts of the body. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves. While the first six innervate the head and neck, the latter six nerves innervate the head and neck, as well as organs and tissues in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. They facilitate communication, expression, and autonomic control within the human body.

Nose and Nasal Cavity
2.0K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...
