64. Anosmia: Loss Of The Sense Of Smell Patient with asthma notes anosmia during asthma exacerbations. Discussion of anosmia. http://www.doctorhoffman.com/wwanosm.htm

The Medical Consumer's Advocate Anosmia: loss of the sense of smell This letter originally appeared in Dr. Hoffman's column on allHealth.com. Q: I have asthma very bad, and every time I get sick I can't smell for a long period of time. Sometimes this happens when I'm not sick. Can you tell me why I can't smell? A: Smell and taste are chemical senses: your nose and tongue are able to detect very dilute concentrations of chemicals, and are able to differentiate among hundreds of different chemicals. The specialized cells, or "receptors," which do this detective work are (in the case of smell) located at the very roof of the nasal cavity. Put your fingertip on the bridge of your nose, right between your eyes. Imagine an area about one inch deep to your fingertip. THAT’S where all of the action is. Anything which blocks this chain of events will result in anosmia This assumes that your anosmia is a consequence of your asthma treatment. There is another possibility, however. Folks with chronic infection of the nose and sinuses (rhinosinusitis) who also have asthma will often notice that the two problems seem interrelated. Nasal mucus containing bacteria (living and dead), pus and a variety of inflammatory chemicals can make its way down to the lungs and provoke an attack of asthma. An acute exacerbation of chronic rhinosinusitis will also be associated with nasal inflammation, which causes decreased air flow through the nasal cavity, which in turn causes anosmia. Thus, one problem (recurrent exacerbations of chronic rhinosinusitis) could be causing both your asthma and your anosmia.

The Silent Penguin Making a dent - somewhere Main February 23, 2003 Anosmia Anosmia : My son Christopher (8) can't smell. He had been telling us this for some time and at first we didn't take it too seriously as it soon became something of a game (or so it seemed). Anyway, lately he became quite upset at the fact and asked us to do something about it. So we took him to the doctor who did all the tests (which included x-rays and a smell-test). In the end he was diagnosed with "not being able to smell" (and the doctor shrugged "there's nothing we can do about it"). He can taste things ok - but it looks as though he will never be able to smell things like fresh coffee, flowers or perfume.

Anosmia , the medical term for the condition, is almost impossible to treat. Last year's Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Professor Richard Axel of Columbia University and Professor Linda Buck of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center for their discovery of a large gene family, made up of up to 1,000 different genes, controlling production of specialized protein receptors that create our sensation of smell and allow us to differentiate between up to 10,000 different odors. Smell receptor cells are continually dying and being replaced by new cells that have to be wired up correctly in the brain. Did someone just say "stem cells?"

Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with anosmia is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete.

Anosmia [Categories: Diseases, Olfaction] Anosmia is the lack of (The faculty of smell) olfaction , or a loss of the sense of smell. It can be either temporary or permanent. A related term, hyposmia refers to a decrease in the ability to smell. Some people may be anosmic for one particular (The sensation that results when olfactory receptors in the nose are stimulated by particular chemicals in gaseous form) odor . This is called "specific anosmia" and may be genetically based. Anosmia can be diagnosed by doctors by using scratch-n-sniff odor tests or by using commonly available odors such as coffee, lemon, and cinnamon. A temporary loss of smell can be caused by a stuffy (The organ of smell and entrance to the respiratory tract; the prominent part of the face of man or other mammals) nose or infection. In contrast, a permanent loss of smell may be caused by death of (Click link for more info and facts about olfactory receptor neuron) olfactory receptor neuron s in the nose, or by (Click link for more info and facts about brain injury) brain injury in which there is damage to the (A collective term for numerous olfactory filaments in the nasal mucosa) olfactory nerve or damage to brain areas that process smell (see (Click link for more info and facts about olfactory system) olfactory system ).

It can be classified as: central (lesion of the olfactory receptor, olfactory bulb or tract, or related parts of the central nervous system); peripheral (interference of access of odorants to the olfactory receptors by obstruction of the nasal cavities); reflex (disease in some other part of the body); and functional (no apparent causal lesion). Imaging techniques, such as CT and MRI, may be useful in the mapping and differential diagnosis of lesions causing central or peripheral olfactory disturbance. Common causes of peripheral olfactory disturbance are sinonasal inflammation and sinonasal tumours. Central olfactory disturbance may be secondary to head trauma (by shearing of olfactory filaments as they go through the cribriforme plate, or by contusion of the cerebral cortex, particularly the frontal and temporal lobe); Kallmanns syndrome is the most common entity causing congenital anosmia. Anosmia is also present in various degenerative neuropsychiatric disorders, and it is sometimes encountered in AIDS patients and rarely in patients with brain tumours.

Home Contact Us Report Your Case Auto Accident ... Railroad Accident Injury: Spinal Cord Injury Mesothelioma Asbestos Cerebral Palsy ... Soft Tissue Injuries ClassAction/Recalls: Zicam Zicam- Recent reports in the news have focused the public's attention on a potentially serious problem with two over-the-counter "remedies" for the common cold. ZICAM®, manufactured by Matrixx Initiatives, Inc., and Cold-Eeze®, manufactured by the Quigley Corporation, are homeopathic nasal medications that are claimed to shorten the duration and minimize the symptoms associated with the common cold. Zicam may be applied to the nasal cavities either with a spray or swab and Cold-Eeze is a nasal spray. Both of these medications contain the active ingredient Zinc Gluconate, the use of which in the nose spray has been linked to possible side effects including loss of the senses of taste and smell. Loss of smell is known as anosmia and both conditions may be permanent. Some medical researchers have found that the use of zinc and products containing zinc can result in nerve damage. It is alleged in at least four lawsuits filed against the drug's manufacturers that they failed to provide sufficient warnings to the users of the products even though the side effects of using zinc compounds have been documented.
