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.itochondrial diseases are sometimes (about 15% of the time) caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA that affect mitochondrial function.
