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 a group of disorders caused by dysfunctional mitochondria, the organelles that generate energy for the cell.Mitochondria are found in every cell of the human body except red blood cells, and convert the energy of food molecules into the ATP that powers most cell functions.itochondrial diseases are sometimes (about 15% of the time) caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA that affect mitochondrial function.
