RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chemosensory dysfunction (olfaction, taste, and trigeminal) affects quality of life, potentially impacting eating behaviors. We investigated which factors are associated with weight loss in patients with smell and taste disorders. METHODS: Retrospective study of consecutive adult patients seen in the smell and taste clinic during a 10-year period. Patients were asked about smell, flavor and taste impairment. Psychophysically, smell was assessed with Sniffin' Sticks, flavor with a retronasal test, and taste with Taste Strips. RESULTS: A total of 554 patients (313 females) were included with a median age of 51 years (IQR 23). Seventy-six (13.7%) reported involuntary weight loss (median 6 kg, IQR 6) due to chemosensory disorders. The odds of losing weight were 2.1 times higher when patients reported subjective changes in flavor perception. Parosmia was a significant predictor of weight loss. Patients with symptoms lasting longer than two years were less likely to present with weight loss. Post-traumatic chemosensory dysfunction was a significant predictor of losing weight. On psychophysical testing, the probability of a patient losing weight increased by 8% for every 1-unit reduction in Taste Strips score. CONCLUSION: Factors associated with weight loss were self-reported changes in flavor perception, parosmia, duration of symptoms for less than two years, head injury, and psychophysically measured low Taste Strips score. These data help to identify patients at risk of weight loss from smell or taste impairment.

RESUMO

Chest radiographs and CT are especially useful for the follow-up of patients after lung resection. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate normal postsurgical imaging findings that differ according to the type of surgery (pneumonectomy, lobectomy, segmentectomy and wedge resection). Anatomic changes induced by surgery affect the remaining lung, pleura and chest wall, mediastinum and diaphragm. After pneumonectomy, there is accumulation of fluid in the post pneumonectomy space, progressive chest retraction with mediastinal shift toward the operated side and elevation of the ipsilateral hemidiaphragm. After lobectomy, there is hyperexpansion of the remaining lung, mediastinal shift and intercostal space narrowing. Theses findings are different according to the delay after surgery. Knowledge of the variable imaging features is necessary to detect complications and to provide appropriate follow-up of the primary disease.
