Figures and Tables
Figure 1. The modified Negoro’s Classification, there are 5 morphological types of nasal mucosa vascularization, which have been already described thoroughly in text.
Table 1 . The means of EGM-thresholds for both groups are depicted in this table. The threshold of the right side of the soft palate is threshold A (A in Table) , the one of the vallate papillae is threshold B (B in Table) and the right side of the tongue apex threshold C (C in Table) . The corresponding thresholds of the left side of the tongue are threshold D (D in Table) , threshold E (E in Table) and threshold F (F for the left side of the soft palate in Table). The reader can also find information about smell dysfunction and its recovery.
Table 2. The statistical differences between the 1st and 2nd measurement in patients’ Group . The statistical difference between the values of the 1st measurement and those of the healthy subject is p=0.001 for all six loci.
Table 3. The p- values, estimated between the EGM-thresholds recorded in patients-group by the 2nd measurement and the control-group (healthy subjects-group). There is an improvement of taste acuity by the COVID- the patients.
Table 4. It is interesting that the parameters of fPap (vascularization and form) seem to have in some patients a deteriorating tension after the end of the treatment (2 men, from 3/D to 4/A and 4/B). Despite the remarkable improvement in the EGM-thresholds in all 6 anatomic areas, the form and vascularization of fPap do not follow in parallel.
