| | Anosmia is the absence of the sense of smell. | | | Anosmia associated with an injury involves either a problem with the nose, which can usually be corrected with surgery, a problem with the brain, which I believe is untreatable, or a problem with the olfactory nerve, which may recover, or may not. | | | Anosmia did not prevent me from becoming a nurse,nor has it prevented me from obtaining 2 university degrees and having a very successful career in healthcare management so I don't feel that it has been a handicap. |

| | The amount of research being done in the area of anosmia and other olfactory disorders is very small. | | | By using the paired-subtraction technique researchers are able to identify the areas related to olfactory functions and how these areas are affected by Alzheimer's and even Parkinson's disease. | | | In one research study, it was found that both Parkinson's and a loss of smell had been traced to low levels of dopamine (Thomson, 2001). |

| | Anosmia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Anosmia is the lack of olfaction, or a loss of the sense of smell. | | | The common view of anosmia as trivial can make it more difficult for a patient to receive the same types of medical aid as someone who is blind, deaf, or mute. | | | Anosmia may be an early sign of degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. |

| | Zinc and Anosmia |
| | Researchers interested in the behavioral effects of anosmia have experimentally produced anosmia in laboratory animals and then compared their behavior to that of control animals. | | | His anosmia has been confirmed by chemosensory testing and sinus disease has been ruled out as a possible contributor to his condition. | | | Their research and the results of research they reviewed indicate that zinc treatment may produce considerable hyposmia, but not complete anosmia, at least not in most rats. |

| | Anosmia - loss of smell |
| | Anosmia means loss of the sense of smell, while hyposmia means reduced smell sensitivity. | | | 'Anosmia' means the loss of the sense of smell. | | | Measuring the degree of 'smell loss' is difficult, since the experience of smell is subjective. |

| | When writing about his own accounts with anosmia, Dr Karl Wuensch describes the therapy that he has experienced. | | | This is a term that Leopold devised from the prefix "trop" meaning to turn or react, and "-osmia" meaning sense of smell. | | | Loss of smell sensitivity is usually accompanied by dysosmia and many patients remark on their unpleasant smell sensations. |

| | In a review of 493 head injury patients, Costanzo demonstrated a 15.9% incidence of anosmia in Grade I head injury, a 19.4% incidence in Grade II, and a 24.5% incidence in Grade III head injuries. | | | Although frontal injuries are more common in head trauma, occipital injuries have the highest incidence of total anosmia. | | | A physical exam helps to differentiate conductive form sensorineural etiologies for smell dysfunction. |

| | People suffering from anosmia or parosmia learn quickly that there is little consensus about treatment, and the options are limited to begin with... | | | There are support groups to help people like Kurland -- those who have lost their ability to smell, a condition known as anosmia; those whose sense of smell is distorted, called parosmia, and those who smell things that aren't there, phantosmia... | | | In addition, they conducted similar experiments on five volunteers who had no olfactory nerves and therefore couldn't smell at all, a condition known as anosmia. |

| | The term anosmia means lack of the sense of smell. | | | However, if nerve damage is the cause of the problem, the recovery of smell is much more difficult. | | | Some olfactory aberrations, like intensified sense of smell, can be resolved using homeopathic medicine. |

| | I have a condition called anosmia, which means that I don't have a sense of smell. | | | This condition is pretty rare - in fact, most of the doctors I've been to have claimed that it doesn't exist at all, and that I'm a liar, which was rather frustrating. | | | I've only met one other person with this condition. |

| | There are over 200 medical conditions and many medications associated with olfactory changes and loss, so the anosmia could be coincidental to zinc nasal spray use, but they could also be the cause. | | | The medical term for the loss of smell is called anosmia, a disorder that can be devastating and permanent. | | | In the absence of more research, some doctors advise patients to avoid the zinc nasal sprays since the possible risks of anosmia is probably not worth shaving a couple extra days off of a cold, and also considering that the nasal spray may not even be effective, according to some zinc nasal spray studies. |
