In our patient, suffering from a rebound radiculopa- thy due to clearly demonstrable scar tissue around the L5 root, in whom re-exploration was not a feasible option, hyaluronidase applied locally succeeded in pro- ducing periods with drastic reduction of pain where regular pharmaceutical means had failed.
About this book. Mitochondrial Medicine is a relatively new area where several disciplines from basic science to clinical medicine converge. Mitochondrial medicine deals with diseases that are related to mitochondrial dysfunction due to a number of causes from free radical damage to genetic mutation. A primary feature of mitochondrial dysfunction is impaired cellular bioenergetics.
In a person with mitochondrial disease, the mitochondria are failing and cannot convert food and oxygen into life-sustaining energy. For many, mitochondrial disease is an inherited genetic condition, while for others the body's mitochondria can be affected by other environmental factors.
