“…One co-author (EM) counted the number of clinical history elements in the interval history (see Table 2 ), 22 , 23 the number of unique goals, if included, and reviewed patient charts to obtain patient demographic information, identify whether the patient attended the visit, and if the pre-visit questionnaire responses were integrated into visit notes by the primary care provider. When patients typed specific goals for the visit, the note was reviewed to identify how often the provider documented addressing the patient goals.…”

Introduction/Objectives We examined an initial step towards co-generation of clinic notes by inviting patients to complete a pre-visit questionnaire that could be inserted into clinic notes by providers and describe the experience in a safety-net and non-safety-net clinic. Methods We sent an electronic pre-visit questionnaire on visit goals and interim history to patients at a safety-net clinic and a non-safety-net clinic before clinic visits. We compared questionnaire utilization between clinics during a one-year period and performed a chart review of a sample of patients to examine demographics, content and usage of patient responses to the questionnaire. Results While use was low in both clinics, it was lower in the safety-net clinic (3%) compared to the non-safety-net clinic (10%). We reviewed a sample of respondents and found they were more likely to be White compared to the overall clinic populations ( p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in patient-typed notes (word count and number of visit goals) between the safety-net and non-safety-net samples however, patients at the safety-net clinic were less likely to have all of their goals addressed within the PCP documentation, compared to the non-safety-net clinic. Conclusions Given potential benefits of this questionnaire as a communication tool, addressing barriers to use of technology among vulnerable patients is needed, including access to devices and internet, and support from caregivers or culturally concordant peer navigators.

“…The drawbacks of auscultation include a lack of specific guidelines for the area and duration of auscultation. Some scientists state no specific site for bowel sound auscultation [ 99 , 100 , 101 ] as sounds generated from any location could radiate to the entire abdomen, whereas some [ 102 , 103 ] proposed specific auscultating regions. The advised auscultation duration varies from 30 s to 7 min [ 102 , 104 , 105 ], preferably prior to palpation [ 106 , 107 ] as it may stimulate peristalsis [ 99 ].…”

Production of bowel sounds, established in the 1900s, has limited application in existing patient-care regimes and diagnostic modalities. We review the physiology of bowel sound production, the developments in recording technologies and the clinical application in various scenarios, to understand the potential of a bowel sound recording and analysis device—the phonoenterogram in future gastroenterological practice. Bowel sound production depends on but is not entirely limited to the type of food consumed, amount of air ingested and the type of intestinal contractions. Recording technologies for extraction and analysis of these include the wavelet-based filtering, autoregressive moving average model, multivariate empirical mode decompression, radial basis function network, two-dimensional positional mapping, neural network model and acoustic biosensor technique. Prior studies evaluate the application of bowel sounds in conditions such as intestinal obstruction, acute appendicitis, large bowel disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease and bowel polyps, ascites, post-operative ileus, sepsis, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and neonatal conditions such as hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Recording and analysis of bowel sounds using artificial intelligence is crucial for creating an accessible, inexpensive and safe device with a broad range of clinical applications. Microwave-based digital phonoenterography has huge potential for impacting GI practice and patient care.

“…The bitter taste is usually unpleasant and the others provide pleasure and this can distinguish good foods from spoiled ones, excess salt or sugar. This taste perception begins to disappear around the age of fifty due to loss of tongue papillae and decreased salivary production [38].…”

“…The same can occur in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment, especially in the head and neck region. Neoplastic patients also deserve attention, especially those of intranasal location, such as nasal polyps, papilloma, squamous cell carcinoma, adenoma, esthesioneuroblastoma (rare neuro-olfactory tumor), as they block airflow to the olfactory cleft or by local destruction of the olfactory apparatus [38]. Patients who undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments end up losing their sense of taste due to radiation that is capable of producing deleterious effects on the oral mucosa, salivary glands, palate, dentition, periodontium, bone, muscles and joints [43].…”

, a virus of unknown origin which alarmed the world at a pandemic level, has led to numerous consequences, both social and physical-biological. In this context, the annulment of smell and taste is one of the most cited biological results in the face of this disease, germinating other harmful intercurrences. Thus, it was observed through a literature review that stimulating the taste buds helps to encourage taste, promoting a better perception of food. Thus, an oral gum called Gusmami was developed, which will contain a single-dose solid pharmaceutical form with one or more active principles, consisting of insoluble, sweet and tasty plastic material. It will have the properties of Umami (glutamate, 5'-inosinate and 5'-guanylate) which is considered as the fifth basic taste of taste and the gum will be used before meals, whose purpose is to rehabilitate both the consequences of COVID-19.
