S ince hypertension was identified as a distinct disease at the turn of the century, there have been many occasions when it seemed likely that its cause had been found, but each time it has proved illusory, and at present no one theory seems more promising than another. Some investigators indeed believe that ultimately the disease will be attributed to multiple interrelated factors as expressed...

Insect hemocytes and their role in immunity.

The innate immune system of insects is divided into humoral and cellular defense responses. Humoral defenses include antimicrobial peptides, the cascades that regulate coagulation and melanization of hemolymph, and the production of reactive intermediates of oxygen and nitrogen. Cellular defenses refer to hemocyte-mediated responses like phagocytosis and encapsulation. In this review, we discus...

Meniscal Roots: Current Concepts Review

Meniscal root tears are defined as radial tears located within 1 cm from the meniscal attachment or a bony rootavulsion. This injury is biomechanically comparable to a total meniscectomy, leading to compromised hoop stressesresulting in decreased tibiofemoral contact area and increased contact pressures in the involved compartment.These changes are detrimental to the articular cartilage and ult...
