[A device for studying liminal and supraliminal indices of the state of the olfactory analyzer]. / Ustroistvo dlia issledovaniia porogovykh i nadporogovykh pokazatelei sostoianiia oboniatel'nogo analizatora.

An universal device (olfactoadaptometer) permitting to carry out threshold and suprathreshold olfaction assessment in suggested. Use of odorous substances of different receptor orientation increases the possibilities of differential diagnosis of olfactory analyzer diseases. The construction of the device is simple. Units, which are in industrial production can be used for its manufacture. The olfactometer is portable, simple in attendance and self-reacting.

[Graphic method of recording olfactory disorders]. / Graficheskii metod registratsii narushenii obonianiia

The authors present a method of recording results of threshold olfactometry for substances of different neuroreceptive response (olfactory, olfactive-trigeminal and olfactive-glossopharyngeal) in the form of olfactograms. The use of a unit for comparative evaluation of the olfactory function (deciodor) made it possible to get a unit horizontal zero line on the olfactogram. The authors demonstrate olfactograms of patients with various olfactory disorders. They consider that the method of graphic recording results of comparative threshold olfactometry is a valuable differential-diagnostic test.
