Aspecte particulare privind subiectul orientării spaţiale şi calitatea vieţii

One of the most commonly used modern terms for the generic evaluation of human existence is the quality of life. According to the definition of the World Health Or­ga­ni­zation, this is the individuals’ perception of their own so­cial status, in the context of the social value systems they adhere to, while also being co-dependent on their own necessities, standards and aspirations. This complex ap­proach entails, besides the perception of their own body, the understanding of the surrounding environment in which we live our lives. Their utility consists in assuring the best possible correlation and adaptation between these two benchmarks. The acknowledgement of these in­dis­pen­sable components is mainly accomplished through the sensory organs. The majority of the classic sensory or­gans and some of the ones that were later correlated with man’s capacity of modern integration into his ecosystem be­long to the field of ENT. Thus, it is only natural that, be­sides the aesthetic concerns of the otorhinolaryngologist, we also define their functional responsibilities, which are becoming more and more compelling, according to our research. The study and evaluation of these highly spe­cia­lized receptors represent a primordial necessity to come into line with the most correct therapeutical de­ci­sions, whether they be radical or conservative.
