“…There was a significant correlation between hyposmia and dysgeusia, as was found in our study as well. All the patients with taste problems from Caldas’s study also had a reduced ability to smell 6. In our study, 37 out of 40 patients with dysgeusia had a decreased or absent olfaction ability.…”

“…According to a systematic review of the literature dealing with the functions of smell and taste after a laryngectomy, there is a consensus that the inability to make air flow through the nose to reach the olfactory epithelium is the main reason for the deterioration of these functions 6. In addition, some authors reported changes in the nasal mucosa and olfactory system that can also affect the ability to smell in laryngectomized patients.…”

BackgroundA laryngectomy affects many of a patient’s functions. Besides speech and respiratory-tract problems, olfaction and gustation problems can also have an influence on the quality of life. The aim of this study was to find out how often various nasal problems and decreased gustation appear after a laryngectomy.Patients and methods.One hundred and five laryngectomized patients (9 women, 96 men, aged 45–88 years), treated in two tertiary centers, were included in the study. They completed a questionnaire about various nasal problems, olfactory and gustatory capabilities, possible allergies and irritants in their environment, and the impact of the nasal and gustation problems on their quality of life.ResultsOlfaction was impaired in 51.4%, and was even not possible in 30.5%, of patients. Decreased gustation abilities were reported in 26.7%, and dysgeusia in 11.4%, of patients. Almost 21% of patients were bothered by an impaired gustatory ability and 50.5% of patients were affected by their loss of olfaction. Frequent nasal discharge was reported in 20%, frequent sneezing in 58.1%, and nasal itching in 33.3% of the laryngectomized patients. There were no correlations between the age and the olfaction and gustation abilities and between the allergy and the nasal symptoms, whereas the correlation between olfaction and gustation appeared significant (p=0.025).ConclusionsVarious nasal and gustatory problems were reported in more than 80% of laryngectomized patients. The olfaction and gustation abilities are connected and have a substantial impact on the quality of life. Like in the case of speech, the rehabilitation of olfaction is also necessary in all laryngectomized patients and must take place soon after the completion of the treatment.

“…It is important to highlight the lack of studies on the characterization and assessment of this function in South America, and especially in Brazil, although there are Brazilian review articles in which scholars relate total laryngectomy to smell/taste alterations and assessments and the rehabilitation of these functions (22,23) . The population studied in the articles selected for this review was chiefly composed of healthy children (16)(17)(18)20,21) , probably because there are no normative standards that allow for comparisons between healthy and sick populations.…”

Purpose: To systematically gather from the literature available the quantitative instruments used to assess the sense of smell in studies carried out with children. Research strategy: The present study included a survey in the Pubmed and Bireme platforms and in the databases of MedLine, Lilacs, regional SciELO and Web of Science, followed by selection and critical analysis of the articles found and chosen. Selection criteria: We selected original articles related to the topic in question, conducted only with children in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. We excluded studies addressing other phases of human development, exclusively or concurrently with the pediatric population; studies on animals; literature review articles; dissertations; book chapters; case study articles; and editorials. Data analysis: A book report protocol was created for this study, including the following information: author, department, year, location, population/sample, age, purpose of the study, methods, and main results. Results: We found 8,451 articles by typing keywords and identifiers. Out of this total, 5,928 were excluded by the title, 2,366 by the abstract, and 123 after we read the full text. Thus, 34 articles were selected, of which 28 were repeated in the databases, totalizing 6 articles analyzed in this review. Conclusion: We observed a lack of standardization of the quantitative instruments used to assess children's sense of smell, with great variability in the methodology of the tests, which reduces the effectiveness and reliability of the results.

“…Speech therapy is included in publications on the treatment of laryngeal cancer, in studies dealing with rehabilitation of functions related to communications (in this case, especially oral communication) [22][23][24][25][26][27] , evaluation of quality of life 9,12,25,[28][29][30] , swallowing rehabilitation 9,28,30 and alterations of smell and taste 31 . During the research it was also verified a considerable percentage of publications from the nursing sector related with the bio-psycho-social aspects directly linked to the rehabilitation and/or postoperative handling/care which the patients must be submitted to [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] .…”

Resumo:Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as características da produção bibliográfica científica sobre o tratamento do câncer de laringe nos últimos dez anos. Foram seguidos os preceitos do Cochrane Handbook, que envolveu a formulação da questão a ser investigada, a localização, a seleção dos estudos e a avaliação crítica dos artigos. Os artigos publicados entre 2002 e 2011 foram selecionados por meio das bases de dados LILACS e ScIELO, utilizando-se o descritor laringect$ e na base de dados PubMed, utilizando-se o descritor laringect*. Analisaram-se os textos completos, potencialmente relevantes para a revisão, utilizando-se um formulário padronizado, quando os seguintes dados foram coletados: objetivos, desenho da pesquisa, resultados encontrados e discussão sobre o tratamento em câncer de laringe. Inicialmente foram identificados 299 estudos. Após a revisão dos títulos e resumos, consideração dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, verificação da coerência com a temática pesquisada e eliminação dos estudos que estavam concomitantemente em mais de uma base de dados, 72 foram efetivamente analisados por referirem nos descritores e/ou nos resumos o tema câncer de laringe. A partir desta pesquisa, é possível verificar lacunas e oportunidades para o desenvolvimento de estudos que verifiquem técnicas padronizadas de tratamento do câncer de laringe com o aumento de estudos analíticos e de intervenção baseados em ensaios clínicos randomizados, especialmente considerando diretrizes como CONSORT, STROBE e GRADE para o seu planejamento e publicação.
