Lend me your ears4/5/2023 The values measured in May (317.1±47.3), June (386.7☓6.1), and July (315.1☓6.0) were significantly larger than those of other months. significant variation over all 12 months was revealed by analysis of variance (P<0.01). The index of arterial temperature fluctuation (IATF) i.e., activation index of cold-induced vasooscillatior (CIVO), ranged from 114.5☒6.7 (mean±SE) in January to 386.7☓6.1 in June. The data were collected over a period of 10 years and analyzed by month.a) We studied the seasonal variation of vasooscillation of a rabbit ear central artery induced by exposure of the earlobes to-7☌ liquid. Olfactory deficit in patients with bilateral nasal polyposis is explained by difficult or impossible passage of odors into the olfactory region. T-test showed that values of both thresholds were statistically significantly higher (p<0.01) in patients with bilateral nasal polyposis in relation to the control group. The average identification threshold values for examined odors in patients with bilateral nasal polyposis were 18.80 ccm of odorous air, while in the control group they were 13.55 ccm of scented air. In patients with bilateral nasal polyposis the average perception threshold values for examined odors were 15.50 ccm of odorous air, while in the control group they were 10.20 ccm of odorous air. Fortunato-Niccolini olfactometer was used for this examination. It included 80 examinees, 40 (20 male, 20 female) with bilateral nasal polyposis, while 40 examinees belonged to the control group (20 male, 20 female) without symptoms of nasal polyposes. The research was carried out at the Nose, Ear and. The aim of this paper was to examine impact of bilateral nasal polyposis on olfactory function. Of quantitative disorders of smell, hyposmia and anosmia are quite common, whereas of qualitative disorders parosmia is most frequent. Reading LEND ME YOUR EARS will not make you a great speaker, but it can give clues as to how and why the power of the spoken word can shake societies to their core.Sense of smell is susceptible to various changes, both in physiological and in numerous pathological conditions. Others generate the unmistakable cachet of greatness right away. Lincoln felt that his speech at Gettysburg was a failure since it met only polite applause. Who can forget Chief Joseph's closing words of the agony he felt over the destruction of his people by the white man: 'From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.' Then there is FDR's war declaration against Japan, replete with its sonorous cadences that begin with the critical phrase, 'day of infamy.' Great speeches are often not great until after the fact. Getting Brando to say them was just a bonus. I can still hear Marlon Brando as Mark Antony in 'Julius Caesar' rousing the crowd to a killing frenzy: 'If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.' Shakespeare used every one of Safire's requirements. Some speeches have the added advantage of having been popularized in the media by recording or rehearsed performance. Each category has some dozen examples, with a prefatory explanatory essay per. What Safire does with this list is to quote generally agreed upon memorable speeches and list them by category, speeches of patriotism, revolution and war, tributes and elegies, debates, trials, gallows and farewell, sermons, inspirational, lectures, social responsibility, finally closing with speeches of media, politics, and commencement. Other necessities include occasion (the speaker is at the right point at the right time) forum (the 'where' the speech is given) focus (what's the purpose or point) theme word choice. He adds that this smooth flow must not be the smoothness of uninterrupted rhythm there ought to be a variation that allows the audience to catch a breath at just the right point. Ironically, this list is not something that one can examine, nor can compare to what the speaker brings to the podium to exclaim,'Ah ha, this is what I lack!' Among the magical list includes a variation on the old saw, 'Tell 'em what you're going to tell 'em then tell 'em then tell 'em what you told 'em.' Safire translates this as a smooth flow that invites a rhythm to the delivery. What Safire does is to give the reader a sort of ten commandents that the great speakers of the past must have followed. No one knows what Abe Lincoln truly sounded like, but we honor his Gettysburg Address as a sublime example of stirring words. Surprisingly enough, he acknowledges that a magnificent speaking voice can not turn verbal mush into thrilling oratory. Instead, his goal is more modest, to figure out why some speeches have reverberated through the acoustic corridors of history while others have fizzled out with nary an echo to record their passing. William Safire in his LEND ME YOUR EARS does not purport how to tell the novice speaker how to step up to the podium and knock 'em dead with a fluid barrage of words.
