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...
The release of histamine, tryptase, leukotriene and prosta- glandin all contribute to mucus secretion, mucosal edema and airways smooth muscle contraction.21 The early asthmatic response depends on the degree of sensitization to an allergen, the magnitude of the untreated airway hyperresponsiveness and...
2012). Using an assumption-based quantitative approach and the mean cell diameter across the nucleus as surrogate for cell size, hypertrophy was reported to already be present in mild-to-moderate asthmatics and being even more pronounced in severe asthmatics (Benayoun et al. 2003). However, u...
