Disease relevance of Halitosis

• RESULTS: Sucralfate and rabeprazole therapies were both able to significantly reduce epigastric pain, heartburn, bloating and halitosis [1].
• The abuse of tetracycline resulted in a black hairy tongue and halitosis in this patient [2].
• After treatment with N-Acetylcysteine, Sjögren's syndrome patients reported improvements in ocular soreness (p = 0.004), ocular irritability (p = 0.006), halitosis (p = 0.033) and daytime thirst (p = 0.033) [3].

High impact information on Halitosis

• Letter: Halitosis from isosorbide dinitrate [4].
• Haldane, hot dogs, halitosis, and hypoxic vasodilation: the emerging biology of the nitrite anion [5].
• Breath hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methyl-mercaptan (CH3SH) concentrations are used as quantitative indicators of halitosis [6].
• The bio-detector had good selectivity being attributed to enzyme specificity was obtained for several substances (trimethyl amine, ammonia, dimethyl sulfide, etc.). The bio-detector was applied for halitosis measurement [7].
• In this study, a bioelectronic gas sensor (bio-detector) for gaseous MM was developed and was applied to measure halitosis in breath [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Halitosis

• A randomized placebo-controlled trial of mebendazole for halitosis [8].
• Methyl mercaptan (MM) is known as one of the major chemicals of halitosis (bad breath) [7].
• BACKGROUND: Prior research has indicated patient dissatisfaction with the odor, size, and taste of cyclosporine capsules, as well as the halitosis and body odor the capsules can cause [9].
• Halothane or halitosis [10]?
• CONCLUSION: The results highlight the dose-dependent relationships noted in laboratory and clinical tests which have potential implications for the use of lower doses of chlorhexidine to inhibit oral bacteria, including those implicated in halitosis [11].

Gene context of Halitosis

• An intriguing aspect of dietary response in the ADHD research was the finding of a reduction in halitosis [bad breath] [12].
• IDDM duration, daily dosage of insulin and prevalence of GI symptoms (bloating, pyrosis, epigastric pain, belching, halitosis, nausea) were assessed [13].
• We report a fatal case of chronic Epsom salt gargles for halitosis that produced a serum magnesium of 23.6 mg/dL (9.8 mmol/L) and resulted in coma [14].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Halitosis

• After halitosis induction and VSC measurements, the subjects rinsed with the test solution, and mouth airVSC analyses were then performed by means of gas chromatography subsequent to repeated cysteine rinses after 30, 60, and 120 min [15].
