“…Empirical research demonstrates that the act of inhalation is necessary to have any olfactory experience whatsoever. Proetz (1941) highlighted the necessity of airflow through the nostrils by pouring a solution of eau de cologne into the nostrils of his students, noting that this did not give rise to an olfactory perception: "Although it obviously reaches his olfactory area he will not detect the odor" (p. 366). Further evidence for the necessity of the inhalation comes from Bocca et al (1965), who intravenously injected odorants into subjects.…”

Objects are central to perception and our interactions with the world. We perceive the world as parsed into discrete entities that instantiate particular properties, and these items capture our attention and shape how we interact with the environment. Recently there has been some debate about whether the sense of smell allows us to perceive odours as discrete objects, with some suggesting that olfaction is aspatial and doesn't allow for object-individuation. This paper offers two empirically tractable criteria for assessing whether particular objects are exhibited in perceptual experience-(1) susceptibility to figure-ground segregation and (2) perceptual constancies-and argues that these criteria are fulfilled by olfactory perception, and thus there are olfactory objects. I argue that there are, in fact, two different ways that olfaction allows for figure-ground segregation. First, I look at various Gestalt grouping principles, which are thought to govern when features are perceived as grouped into structured wholes, segregated from everything around them. I argue that these principles apply to olfactory experience, providing evidence of non-spatial figure-ground segregation. Second, I defend the contentious idea that a spatial variety of figureground segregation can also occur in olfaction. To see this, however, we need to look to empirical evidence showing that tactile stimulation and bodily movements play a crucial role in olfactory phenomenology. Finally, I draw on empirical evidence and olfactory phenomenology to argue that there are perceptual constancies in olfactory experience, allowing us to perceive odours as coherent objects that survive shifts in our perspectives on the world.

“…1 However, the terminology for these air cells has been changed, reflecting a trend away from naming structures after the anatomist who had first described them as the need grows for international standardization and descriptive nomenclature of anatomical terms. Therefore, Haller cells are alternatively called infraorbital ethmoid cells, as they arise from anterior ethmoid cells and are located in the medial orbital floor.…”

Objectives: Haller cells are anterior ethmoid air cells located in the medial orbital floor immediately lateral to the maxillary infundibulum. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the prevalence and relationship between the existence and size of these cells with ipsilateral maxillary sinusitis and orbital floor dehiscence as visualized on cone beam CT (CBCT) images. Methods: CBCT image volumes of 50 patients were retrieved and analysed. All CBCT images were acquired with a 9-inch field of view scan. x 2 and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests were used for statistical analysis of the obtained data, and p-values of ,0.05 were considered to be statistically significant. Results: There was no statistically significant association between the existence and size of Haller cells and maxillary sinusitis. There was a significant association between Haller cells and orbital floor dehiscence. Conclusions: The explanation of maxillary sinusitis on the basis of mechanical obstruction is unlikely. This study provides evidence for the usefulness of CBCT scan in delineation of the sinonasal anatomy.

“…Experiments that were carried out using an alcohol injection on mice and guinea pigs showed reduction of the clearance of staphylococci from the lungs of these animals (28)(29)(30)(31). Moreover, the endoperitoneal infusion of alcohol in cats resulted in a significant reduction of the mucociliary clearance (29).…”

Summary. The purpose of this review article is to prove the damage that alcohol causes to the respiratory system. We will make a brief review of alcohols history in the course of the centuries till nowadays. The problem of addiction to alcohol (alcoholism) will be examined for several countries.Alcohol's metabolism is another topic to be discussed parallel to its pharmacological action. In addition, alcohol's impact on the respiratory system varies from damaging the mucociliary system to the regulation of breathing and from the sleep apnea syndrome to diffusion disorders. "Alcoholic lung disease" constitutes a syndrome despite the fact that the damage of the lung due to concurrent smoking and drug use is often indistinguishable.
