Background: NOX2 (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2), which is upregulated by a variety of neurodegenerative factors, is neuroprotective and capable of reducing detrimental aspects of pathology following ischemic and traumatic brain injury, as well as in chronic neurodegenerative disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate NOX2 expression and the degree of functional recovery following different types of facial nerve injury and assess the effects of antioxidant intervention on nerve regeneration.
Methods: A total of 40 mature (6-week-old) male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used.
Background: Rhinoplasty surgeons are aware that the nasal profile differs according to body position, namely, the erect position in the consultation room vs the supine position on the operating table. It is not clear whether this difference is caused by an optical illusion or skin laxity due to positional change.
Objectives: To evaluate anthropometric measurements of the nose with different body positions and determine whether the supine position affects the nasal profile.
Background And Objectives: This study examined whether the prognosis of sudden deafness was dependent on the time of onset and evaluated the factors affecting prognosis during each period.
Subjects And Methods: Patients who developed sudden hearing loss from January 2005 to December 2015 were evaluated retrospectively. Meteorological data were obtained from the official website of the Korea Meteorological Administration.
Article Synopsis
- Obese young adults have a higher taste threshold for salty flavors compared to their normal-weight peers, indicating a potential difference in taste perception.
- The study involved 41 participants, measuring taste thresholds using electrogustometry and chemical solutions, revealing significant differences based on body mass index (BMI).
- Smoking negatively affects taste function, as smokers exhibited higher thresholds for various tastes, confirming that both obesity and smoking play roles in altering taste sensitivity.
