Does tendon neuroanatomy correlate to tendon pain? The nerve supply of intact healthy tendons is localized in the tendon sheath, whereas the tendon proper, i.e., intrafascicular matrix, is devoid of innervation (Figures 2, 3) [24]. This anatomical finding implicates that the tendon sheath is...
feasible if an unbiased design-based stereology approach such as the physical or optical disector is applied (Sterio1984; Hsia et al.2010; Gruber et al.2012). Using an assumption-based quantitative approach and the mean cell diameter across the nucleus as surrogate for cell size, hypertrophy w...
Among these, high levels of CD117 (c-kit) are correlated with increased proliferation and activation of mast cells in these patients, as well as high levels of tryptase reflecting disease progression or high levels of chymase (an index of fibrosis and remodelling) reflecting the state of ...
