Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yun-Ting Chao"
- Yun-Ting Chao's research primarily focuses on olfactory dysfunction and its potential treatments, exploring innovative approaches such as immersive olfactory training, which has shown promise as an alternative therapeutic option for patients with smell impairments.
- In addition to olfactory research, Chao investigates the anatomical and neurogenic aspects of chemosensory dysfunction, including structural abnormalities in individuals with congenital anosmia and the effects of trigeminal sensory neuropathy post-skull base surgery on chemosensory functions.
- Chao's studies also extend to the genetic influences on olfactory performance, revealing connections between the BDNF val66met polymorphism and olfactory identification, as well as examining predictors of synchronous second primary cancer in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, indicating a multidisciplinary approach to uncovering prognostic factors in oncology.
