Presentation
The present procedure can expose pulmonary artery buried in scar tissue, resulting in making the lobectomy safer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Normal Hearing
People with normal hearing perceive sound by means of hair cells located in the cochlea, the fluid-filled hollow part of the inner ear. These hair cells... [innovations-report.com]

Skin Discoloration
Atrophy and skin discoloration are the main side effects. Cryotherapy. Cryotherapy involves the scar being frozen off. Pressure therapy. Pressure therapy involves a type of pressure appliance worn over the area of the scar. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
The main side effects are skin discoloration and a sunken area of skin at the injection site (atrophy). Cryotherapy. The scar is frozen off. Pressure therapy. A type of pressure appliance is worn over the scar area. [urmc.rochester.edu]

Behavior Problem
It may also cause emotional, social, and behavioral problems, especially when it is located in exposed areas. To date, no gold standard exists for the treatment of scar tissue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

T Wave Alternans
Abstract Microvolt T-wave alternans (MTWA) is an electrocardiographic marker for predicting sudden cardiac death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
To date, no gold standard exists for the treatment of scar tissue. Autologous fat grafting has been introduced as a promising treatment option for scar tissue-related symptoms. However, the scientific evidence for its effectiveness remains unclear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
Abrikossoff's tumor (AT) is a rare, predominantly benign, asymptomatic, solitary, less than three cm-in-size tumor with usually favorable prognosis after surgical excision. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
BACKGROUND: The association between epidural fibrosis and recurrent symptoms after lumbar spine surgery remains a matter of debate in scientific literature and the underlying pathophysiological mechanism has not been clearly elucidated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
According to a 2013 study conducted by Rodríguez and Galán del Río, fascia is the “skeleton of muscle fibers organized as a network and may be responsible for some of the pathophysiology and healing processes of muscular injuries.” 2 But injury is not [erikdalton.com]
The pathophysiology of interstitial lung diseases, particularly IPF, resembles that of cancer development. [jcancer.org]
Prevention
BACKGROUND: Silver dressings have been widely and successfully used to prevent cutaneous wounds, including burns, chronic ulcers, dermatitis and other cutaneous conditions, from infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Scar massage is a technique that includes rubbing and deep pressure and is used to prevent the scar from becoming hard and raised, and to prevent it from sticking to the underlying tissues including muscles and bones, which can limit movement. [kidney.org]
Also, it is studied extensively and considered as a very promising preventive measure against hypertrophic scarring. [biomedcentral.com]
In another approach the team placed a porous film beneath the skin to prevent fascia fibroblasts from migrating upwards. This, however, leads to chronic open wounds. [hfsp.org]
Bellamkonda’s team tested the system in rats and found the enzyme prevented scar tissue formation for up to six weeks. [reuters.com]
