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.
Mitochondrial disease is an inherited chronic illness that can be present at birth or develop later in life. It causes debilitating physical, developmental, and cognitive disabilities with symptoms including poor growth; loss of muscle coordination; muscle weakness and pain; seizures; vision and/or hearing loss; gastrointestinal issues; learning disabilities; and organ failure.
