Post-injury muscle regeneration is a multifaceted process requiring the coordination of myogenesis and angiogenesis. Whether this coordination is altered in pathological context has been poorly investigated, whether the original defect stems from the myogenic cell (degenerative myopathy) or the
Pain following urethroplasty with buccal mucosal graft (BMG) harvesting is primarily related to the oral graft harvest site. This pain results in significant increases in narcotic use, patient morbidity, and limits nutritional intake following surgery. During BMG harvesting, lidocaine with
Globally, the mortality after any infection in cirrhosis patients is very high. The cumulative mortality in patients with infections was 43.5% (11,987 patients) where as the mortality rate without infection was 13.6% (2317 patients). Over the years, variceal bleeding causing death in cirrhosis has
Gangliosidosis:
Gangliosides are complex compunds consisting of a glycosphingolipid and a sialic acid and are located at the cell surface where they are responsible for detecting extracellular molecules. Gangliosides are mainly located in the nervous system.
If gangliosides accumulate pathologically
In the past few decades there has been a rise in the number of knee replacements performed due to degenerative arthritis. In general over the years the number of operations has risen while the age of the patients has gone down. The aim of these operations is to improve quality of life, alleviate
Background and significance
Diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging is a well established method for detecting acute ischaemic injury in the brain and is being increasingly applied to the study of brain structure and organisation (1,2). The technique provides information on
