This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate self-rated olfactory dysfunction in relation to measured olfactory function after partial or complete subjective recovery in individuals with a history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. A total of 186 individuals (aged 5-62 years) with a history of COVID-19 infection were included. Visual analogue scale (VAS) ratings for olfactory function (before, during, and after infection) and age-appropriate psychophysical olfactory test scores (odor threshold and odor identification: "Sniffin' Sticks" for adults and both "Sniffin' Sticks" and "U-Sniff" for children) were determined.

Background: Despite alterations in the sense of smell and taste have dominated the symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the prevalence and the severity of self-reporting COVID-19 associated olfactory and gustatory dysfunction has dropped significantly with the advent of the Omicron BA.1 subvariant. However, data on the evolution of Omicron-related chemosensory impairment are still lacking.

Article Synopsis
  • Purpose
  • : This study aimed to investigate how oral splint therapy affects patients suffering from Menière's disease (MD) and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) by comparing treatment outcomes between two groups.
  • Methods/Results
  • : A total of 63 patients were divided into a treatment group (37 patients receiving gnatological treatment) and a control group (26 patients who had not received such treatment). After 24 months, the treatment group showed significantly improved control over vertigo spells and other audio-vestibular symptoms compared to the control group.
  • Conclusions
  • : Oral splint therapy appears to be an effective long-term solution for managing symptoms in patients with TMD

The late Middle Pleistocene, starting at around 300 ka, witnessed large-scale biological and cultural dynamics in hominin evolution across Africa including the onset of the Middle Stone Age that is closely associated with the evolution of our species-Homo sapiens. However, archaeological and geochronological data of its earliest appearance are scarce. Here we report on the late Middle Pleistocene sequence of Wadi Lazalim, in the Sahara of Southern Tunisia, which has yielded evidence for human occupations bracketed between ca.
