A subgaleal hematoma is bleeding that occurs between the periosteum surrounding the brain and the scalp. The lawsuit was ...

A fluorescent dye could help scientists listen in on biochemical conversations between cartilage and bone during the earliest stages of osteoarthritis (OA)—even before the disease causes pain. The ...

More recently, we discovered adult SSC heterogeneity and a long-term repopulating SSC subset present in periosteum (outer layer of bone) with a unique CCL5-dependent migratory mechanism required for ...

Studies have shown that the factors that promote the healing of diabetic foot ulcer are related to inhibiting apoptosis, promoting fibrocyte proliferation, promoting angiogenesis, accelerating ...

Objectives: Rupture of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is a frequent injury of the hand. When untreated, this injury may lead to decreased pinch strength, pain, instability, and osteoarthritis ...

Anatomic reconstructions are indicated when the periosteum and tendon sheath strip off the distal ulna and the tendon subluxes within an expanded subsheath. The subsheath is reattachment on the ulnar ...

Radiosurgery, not to be confused with electrosurgery, diathermy, spark-gap circuitry, or electrocautery, uses a very high-frequency radio wave. Unlike electrocautery or diathermy, the electrode ...
