Abstract. The successful treatment of focal full-thickness articular defects of the knee has continued to present a formidable challenge, and no traditional treatment method has provided consistent acceptable, long-term clinical results.lthough the etiology of full-thickness chondral defects in the knee is not well-defined and the clinical course is unpredictable, it appears that articular cartilage lesions (ACL) are often associated with pain and limited mobility followed by degenerative changes typical of osteoarthritis.
Dehydration as a cause of a salty taste in the mouth. The most probable cause of a salty taste in the mouth is simply dehydration. The more dehydrated a person is, the more concentrated the chemicals are that are in saliva. The lips will also gradually become more salty when a person is dehydrated.
If your drinking water has a strong metallic taste, this is most likely to be caused by acidic water that has a greater potential to leach metals, such as copper and iron, from household plumbing and pipes. Sometimes drinking water may have a salty taste, which can be caused by a number of issues. If you live near the coast, your well water may be contaminated by seawater intrusion. Well water can also become contaminated by road salt in runoff.
