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.
Overview of Mitochondrial Disease. Mitochondrial disease or dysfunction is an energy production problem. Almost all cells in the body have mitochondria, which are tiny âpower plantsâ that produce a bodyâs essential energy.Mitochondrial disease means the power plants in cells donât function properly.itochondrial disease primarily affects brain, heart and muscle in varying levels of severity. Depending on which cells of the body are affected, symptoms may include: 1  Poor growth. 2  Loss of muscle coordination, muscle weakness. 3  Visual and/or hearing problems.
