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.
Lisa, East Grinstead. A SARA STANNER WRITES: A bad taste in the mouth can be caused by a variety of conditions including dental or gum problems, dehydration, medication (such as some antibiotics and antihypertensives), a yeast infection in the mouth, an autoimmune condition or a respiratory tract infection.
