Taste and smell are of direct importance in most social interactions. Radical disruptions these senses can, therefore, substantially disrupt sociality. This paper focuses on the experiences a particular type disruption: persistent chemosensory dysfunctions after COVID-19. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 patients undergoing treatment for analyzed ways which their have influenced relations activities, particularly regarding food eating. The findings reveal that made participants markedly aware eating pivotal to full participation life. As is smell, both surrounding smells perception one's own leading several consequences. Such problems handled through avoidance behavior adaptations. While adaptations facilitate interactions, they come at cost feeling burden others or not fully appreciating an event (e.g., shared meal). Social support great importance, ranging from minor practical assistance, such as friend checking if milk sour, profound emotional relief felt empathic recognition real. Here, healthcare professionals can play vital role, even (perceived) absence clinical effectiveness treatment. expressed partially line other manifestations Long COVID due illnesses, but only partially, since this patient group needs unique, sociality so strongly affected solely by sensory abilities.

Background and Objectives: Brain fog, characterized by cognitive difficulties such as memory impairment, lack of focus, mental fatigue, is a common symptom reported during recovery from COVID-19, particularly in long COVID cases. This study explores potential triggers sleep quality, mood, gastrointestinal health examines the link between adherence to MIND diet brain fog severity. Materials Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted 1 July 15 December 2022. The questionnaire assessed symptoms, dietary habits, symptoms. Linear regression analysis examined relationships demographic factors, adherence, Results: Fog Scale (BFS) scores were significantly higher individuals who had COVID-19 (p < 0.05) even those with reinfection.

A significant body of research has suggested that the contraction SARS-CoV-2 may cause memory impairment, even in months following recovery. In this regard, studies suggest COVID-19 predominantly targets structures and cortices within temporal lobe, hippocampus, a critical brain structure for spatial navigation.The purpose study was to investigate potential impact pandemic on subjective complaints, which represent an individual's perception subtle changes absence objective impairment.

Introduction Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is frequent after SARS-CoV-2 infection. The aim of this study was to examine if long-term OD common in post-COVID condition, and the relationship between olfaction, cognition, neuropsychiatric symptoms, disease duration these patients. Methods This included 121 participants with condition 51 healthy controls (HC). A comprehensive neuropsychological assessment conducted, encompassing various domains, including general processing speed, verbal fluency, attention, memory, visual visuoconstructive ability, visuospatial abstraction, executive functions, anxious-depressive health perception, fatigue level, sleep quality, olfaction. Statistical analyses were carried out understand its role as moderator variable. Results In total, 25% post-covid patients had a reduced smell capacity, while only 9.3% HC presented OD. Post-COVID statistically significantly worse cognitive performance clinical status than HC. Verbal fluency (AUC = 0.85, p < 0.001), attention 0.82, 0.001) variables that best discriminate groups. seemed be (β −0.04; 0.014). Discussion highlights marked sequelae individuals relative impairment exhibits correlations both health. Olfaction emerges potential prognostic marker owing moderating influence on severity indicators.

Background: Among the frequently reported symptoms in long-term COVID-19 syndrome, we can highlight olfactory disorders depression, anxiety, and fatigue. OD affect people's physical mental health lead to neuropsychiatric symptoms. Objective: Determine prevalence of fatigue patients with induced by COVID-19; investigate this impact on quality life. Methods: The study included 30 confirmed COVID-19, persistent complaints dysfunction. was evaluated connecticut smell test. Neuropsychiatric were severity hospital anxiety depression scales. Quality life accessed using SF-36. Results: 70% had different degrees hyposmia 20% anosmia. most prevalent symptom 66.7% sample. More than half also (53,3% both). affected dimensions SF-36 emotional, vitality, role (36.6 ± 44.0, 44.3 28.7, 47.5 42.7, 49.8 24.7 respectively). There a moderate negative correlation between dimension. general health, social functioning, dimensions. Symptoms obtained function Conclusion: is high these patients, highlighting emotional aspect.

Abstract Patients recovering from COVID-19 commonly exhibit cognitive and brain alterations, yet the specific neuropathological mechanisms risk factors that underlie these alterations remain elusive. Given significant global incidence of COVID-19, identifying can distinguish individuals at developing medium or long-term is crucial for prioritizing follow-up care. Here, we report findings a sample 100 patients who were affected by respiratory infection during pandemic. This comprised 73 adults with mild to moderate SARS-CoV-2 (who did not require invasive ventilatory assistance) 27 infections attributed other agents no history COVID-19. The participants underwent screening, decision-making task measure flexibility, magnetic resonance imaging evaluations. We assessed two clinical infection: presence anosmia requirement hospitalization due symptoms. Groups differ in age performance, but differentially performance. presented acute episode exhibited more impulsive changes alternatives after shift probabilities task, while required showed perseverative choices. Interestingly, correlated several measures, including decreases functional activity thinning cortical thickness parietal regions, loss white matter integrity corticospinal tracts parietal-thalamic fasciculi, among others. These results suggest could be factor may serve identify at-risk populations follow-up.

Background: The loss of smell is a typical diagnostic symptom coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This sensorial deprivation may be expressed as quantitative (anosmia or hyposmia) qualitative (dysosmia) alterations consequence anatomical disturbances the nasal epithelium structure. olfactory system sends direct neuronal connections to brain structures that are involved in emotional processing, including deep temporal nuclei. and functional feature related occurrence disorders among COVID-19 patients. Summary: We identify possible sequence events, from dysfunction associated with caused by damage quality life state infected patients attributable neuroinflammatory processes. Sensorial causes deleterious actions on mood, negatively affecting life. Olfactory occurs concurrently psychological distress, symptoms anxiety, depressive impinges self-perceived Key Messages: Changes mood certainly multiple factors, environment isolation, but observation virus penetrate central nervous through bulb connection between prefrontal orbitofrontal cortices amygdala-hippocampus do not allow one discard neural factors pathophysiology post-COVID-19 Behavioral involve local participation systems.
