MRI severity of common extensor origin damage associated with prior glucocorticoid injection in chronic lateral epicondylitis: a retrospective multicenter analysis

Abstract Background Lateral epicondylitis (LE) is a degenerative tendinopathy of the common extensor origin (CEO). Although local glucocorticoid injections are widely used for symptom relief, concerns exist regarding their potential adverse effects on tendon structure. This study...

Mucus transport in the olfactory cleft is significantly slower than in the nasal respiratory mucosa.

Intranasal mucociliary transport has been conventionally described as moving, essentially, in an anterior-to-posterior direction along the ciliated respiratory mucosa (RM). This mechanism is essential for clearing inhaled particles and pathogens and may be impaired in individuals...
