Purpose- Along with the changes in consumers’ expectations, marketers have started to trigger senses their marketing activities after realizing effects of on consumer decisions. Sensory become a key tool for retailers keep and gain consumers. Retailers can create store environments where customers feel comfortable through use sensory cues. In this study, influence cues revisit intention is anal...

BACKGROUND: This cross-sectional, multi-centric study aimed to investigate the differences in quality of life among patients with olfactory dysfunction (OD) different origin, and identify factors associated olfactory-related (QOL). METHODS: Seven hundred sixty-three adults were recruited from 8 Smell & Taste clinics Germany, Switzerland, Austria. Olfactory-related QOL was assessed by Questi...

Annually, there are between 2500 and 3000 Christmas markets in Germany. While purported to be rooted century-old tradition, the current concept of markets, shaped 1930s, gradually transformed from primarily mercantile operations experiential events. The dimension is a collection visual, auditory, olfactory components that create compound sensory response: ‘Christmas atmosphere’. prevalence COVI...

Emission of the trace gas dimethylsulphide (DMS) from the ocean influences the chemical and optical properties of the atmosphere, and the olfactory landscape for foraging marine birds, turtles and mammals. DMS concentration has been seen to vary across seasons and latitudes with plankton taxonomy and activity, and following the seascape of ocean's physics. However, whether and how does it vary ...

Introduction: Olfactory loss in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis has been measured by different methods. However, the results have been variable, and it is not clear whether endoscopic sinus surgery significantly improves olfactory function. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of endoscopic sinus surgery on olfactory function in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.  Material...

Background: The failure of regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI) has been attributed to axonal demyelination and neuronal death. Cellular replacement and white matter regeneration are both necessary for SCI repair. In this study, we evaluated the co-transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) and embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived motor neurons (ESMN) on contused SCI. Methods: OEC...

Lepidopteran insects use sex pheromones to communicate for mating. Olfactory communication and mate-finding can be prevented by permeating the atmosphere with synthetic pheromone. Pheromone-mediated mating disruption has become a commercially viable pest management technique and is used to control the codling moth, Cydia pomonella, a key insect pest of apple, on 160,000 ha worldwide. The codlin...

OBJECTIVES Several prognostic factors influencing the recovery from olfactory dysfunction have been described. The aim of this study was to investigate whether olfactory bulb volume could be used as a new predictor of olfactory recovery in postinfectious and posttraumatic olfactory loss. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 4. Setting Tertiary university clinic, department of otolary...

In the current study, we addressed two questions: First, is the olfactory placode necessary for the development of the olfactory bulb and the entire telencephalon? Second, does the olfactory placode contribute cells to the olfactory bulb? We addressed these questions by unilaterally ablating the olfactory placode in chick embryos before an olfactory nerve was produced and, in a second series of...
