New test procedure:
The new Forgetfulness Assessment Inventory (FAI) test procedure is now available for use.
The FAI was developed to assess subjective complaints relating to everyday memory problems. The questions were selected in relation to episodic memory, as FAI has been shown to be very sensitive in the early detection of MCI and AD. It is a 16-item instrument for measuring subjective memory problems in daily life, which are scored using a Likert scale.
As an introductory promotion, we are giving away 10 FAI manuals and 10, 100 or 1,000 FAI test protocols to all newsletter subscribers.
Order the FAI on our homepage and enter FAI2023 as the code word when ordering. You will receive both the FAI manual and the test protocols by e-mail.
Science – ASOF:
Odour-related changes in quality of life after total laryngectomy Total laryngectomy creates an alternative airway for gas exchange that bypasses the upper airway and digestive tract. The resulting reduction in nasal airflow leads to hyposmia or anosmia.
The results of the international study showed, using the ASOF test, that laryngectomy leads to a significant reduction in quality of life, according to “Eugene Wong, Murray Smith, Malcolm A. Buchanan, Akshay Kudpaje, Andrew Williamson, Prasanna Suresh Hedge, Daniel Hazan, Jordan Idaire, Mark C. Smith, Niranjan Sritharan, Carsten Palme, Faruque Rifat: Smell-related quality of life changes after total laryngectomy: a multi-centre study. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00405-023-07976-0”
