A FTER tracheotomy in the infant, if the distance between the cricoid cartilage and the carina is too short, the end of the metal cannula can abut on the carina 1 or pass into the right main-stem ...

Start loading your joints the smart way and watch your mobility come back stronger. Follow a proven plan that uses low-impact, consistent movement to rebuild and protect your cartilage. Take control ...

ASYMPTOMATIC hypertrophic spurs of the anterior margin of the cervical vertebras are not uncommon. However, if the mass of hypertrophic bone projects into the pharynx enough to impinge upon the food ...

The observed cricoid changes included: widening in 9 cases, destruction in 24 cases and a combination of destruction and widening in 9 cases. Thyroid cartilage involvement was evident in 15 (14%) ...

A tale as old as time - an athlete suffers a devastating knee injury, and their dreams are suddenly in jeopardy. Whether it’s an aspiring NFL player, a basketball star, or a weekend warrior, damage to ...

Injuries to the articular cartilage in different joints, including the knee, are painful and limit mobility. Therefore, researchers are developing cartilage implants using cells from the patient's ...

“Currently, cartilage reconstruction often requires harvesting tissue from the patient’s rib – a painful and invasive procedure,” Plikus said. “In the future, patient-specific lipochondrocytes could ...

Replacing cartilage is a stubborn problem, but new research shows a few potential paths forward. Millions of U.S. residents—perhaps up to 3 percent of the population—have an artificial hip, knee, or ...

Scientists at Northwestern University say they’ve invented a goo — yes, a goo — that could open the door to regenerating human knee cartilage, a finding that could eventually lead to new clinical ways ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a cell-free bioactive material comprising a complex network of molecular components that work together as a scaffold to mimic cartilage’s natural ...

In adult humans, cartilage does not have an inherent ability to heal. Northwestern Engineering scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. Although it looks like a ...
