Anosmia: Diseases of the first cranial (olfactory) nerve, which is the alterations in the sense of smell. Anosmia may be caused by different reasons such as neoplasms; central nervous system infections; cranium cerebral trauma; inherited conditions; toxins; metabolic diseases; tobacco abuse; and other conditions. Loss of smell and/or taste has been leads to inadequate nutritional intake, reduced social pleasure, and decreased psychological wellbeing. Sometimes it may be life threatening, situations such as damaging the detection of smoke in a fire or the ability to identify spoiled food. Any treatment of olfactory disorders must first treat the specific causative factor identified from diagnostic tests, history, and physical examination Local
Smell, on the other hand, is the sense that comes from odor molecules attaching to the olfactory nerve. Air carries the odor into the nose. Then odor contacts the olfactory nerves at the top of the nasal passages. The the olfactory nerves send a signal to the olfactory bulb of the brain, and the nerve sends a signal to the front of the brain. The forebrain translates the signals of the odor into a specific smell (Swindle, Mark).
My commitment to volunteerism is important to me. I am not apart of Kiwanis, however, I am still involved throughout school and church. I am in 5 clubs, which include the Associated Student Body (ASB), Med Club, Kind Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), and Chelan Project.

Rochester's Pre-College Programs will help make me better because the Mini Medical School would further my knowledge of medical careers. As a current high school junior I have explored multiple careers, but I came to a conclusion last year that I would like to be a pediatrician. Last year I participated in the STEP program at the University of Rochester to decide if a medical career was a good fit for me. STEP opened my eyes to all the qualifications needed for my choice career, and taught me how to work with others on medical subjects. As well as present to large groups of people, and working with others. I really enjoyed my summer at the STEP program, and received a scholarship into the Mini Medical School program. Even though I received
Decreased interest in olfaction may be related to early work which contrasted varying levels of olfactory abilities among animals, highlighting primates as deficient in this sense. In Turner’s 1891 paper The Convolutions of the Brain, he proposed a classification of Mammalia into three groups 1) Anasmotics, where the organs of smell are absent and included dolphins and whales, 2) Macrosmatics, defined by animals with a highly developed sense of smell and included ungulates, carnivores and most mammals, and 3) Microsmatics where the sense of smell is “feeble” as in pinnipeds, some whales, and apes and man. This idea of apes and humans, indeed, primates in general having a poor sense of smell was corroborated by Negus in 1958 and Le

Congenital Insensitivity to Pain is a very amazing disease. I chose to report on the specific section of it dealing with Anhidrosis because this also leaves the infected individual with the inability to sweat. This causes problems such as fevers and overheating from over exertion or external heat which in turn can cause brain damage. Many people affected by this disease die before the age of twenty-five from infections left untreated, metal retardation, overheating, and freezing. This leaves the field of exploration in finding a cure very narrow because people treated die too early to show direct connections to any of their treatment.
While reading about my classmates’ fears this week I have realized that we are all about to embark on a journey that is nerve-racking and exciting at the same time. Every one of us fears something different but we all have something in common. This fall we will all be trying something new and unfamiliar, something that we have never done before but have been planning for years. We are all afraid of what is about to happen and what to expect, but we all have our own distinct fears that we are unsure who relates with them. There are similarities and differences with the fears that my classmates and I have, as well as first year students all over the nation.

If the cause is due to sinus infections or irritation, doctors may suggest a treatment of steam inhalation, nasal sprays, antibiotics, and occasionally surgery. If a tumor near the cribriform is causing the individual to lack olfactory abilities, then surgical removal and radiation is typically the course of treatment. However, in causes where anosmia resulted from head trauma or undiagnosed causes there are no current treatment options.
As a child, I had the habit of drinking coffee constantly in addition to eating spicy food daily. One day I woke up with an ulcer, and having the tendency to vomit. My parents took me to the clinic after 3 days of having the stomach pain because my sickness did not heal on its own. The doctor diagnosed that I had gastritis, which is the inflammation of the lining of the stomach. In the moment of the diagnosis, he did not explain what gastritis was, but explained that the coffee intake was the cause of my gastritis. The doctor gave me a prescription to heal my gastritis, but after taking the medicine, my illness worsened because of the spicy food that I kept constantly eating.
When our brains are deprived of oxygen it is called cerebral anoxia.Our brain needs approximately 3.3 ml of oxygen per 100 g of brain tissue per minute,Usually our bodies respond to lowered blood oxygen by redirecting the blood flow the brain and increasing your cerebral blood flow.Sometimes blood flow will increase up to twice its normal flow but no more.If the blood flow or increased blood flow is sufficient enough to supply the brain the oxygen it needs then no symptoms will occur,however if the blood flow cannot be increased or if doubled blood flow does to correct it,symptoms of cerebral
Anosmia (an-OHZ-me-uh) is the inability to perceive odor or the lack of functioning olfactory nerves, also known as the loss of the sense of smell. People do not consider this as a disability considering the fact that when you have a sinus infection you may lose your ability to smell. However, there are a few people who suffer from congenital
