Arthroscopic excision of the fragment may be all that is necessary; however, the long-term result of leaving the defect in the head is unknown. With large defects, some have considered filling with osteochondral plugs or partial head replacements (Fig. 2). ...
Pituitary adenomas that are large (>10 mm), functional, or pharmacologic-refractory are often surgically managed to prevent long-term morbidity. This procedure is often performed via transsphenoidal resection of the tumor under the management of a neurosurgeon, often in conjunction with or primarily...
These high‐pressure peaks may be responsible for the necrosis of the retina, seen after long‐term exposure to PFCLs, all the more considering the fact that in some cases the tissue changes were located at the PFCL/aqueous interface [10,18]. Sign in to download full-size image Fig. 5...
serving as a physical barrier, the conjunctiva’s goblet cells secrete mucin, which forms a part of the tear film of the eye. This allows for the ocular surface to maintain its healthy moisture layer. The conjunctiva also has some immune cells that aid in the defense of the ocular surface...
Mild head trauma, including concussion, can lead to chronic brain dysfunction and degeneration but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we developed a novel head impact system to investigate the long-term effects of mild head trauma
Femoral head viability will also be necessary in the future for procedures involving resurfacing with autologous chondrocytes transplantation. In addition, the preservation of optimal blood supply to the epiphysis would favor long-term fixation with a less aggressive form of resurfacing arthroplasty, using...
