This doesnât improve my mobility by any means, and in fact it makes it worse. We currently have a 16 inch high tub and it would be so much better if I could make that from a 16 inch step in tub to a 6 inch step in shower with a seat that is permanetly installed.
Although such relationships, i.e., between tumor development and stiffness, have been established for a variety of cancer types, the mechanical properties of optic nerve glioma, as well as their underlying acellular causes, are unknown. The normal optic nerve is a complex tissue composed of numerous distinct cellular and extracellular components. Similarly, optic nerve gliomas harbor a unique collection of neoplastic (astrocytes and stem cells) and non-neoplastic (endothelial cells and microglia) cell types embedded within a rich ECM.
The optic nerve (also known as cranial nerve II) is a continuation of the axons of the ganglion cells in the retina. There are approximately 1.1 million nerve cells in eac â¦ h optic nerve. The optic nerve, which acts like a cable connecting the eye with the brain, actually is more like brain tissue than it is nerve tissue. As the optic nerve leaves the back of the eye, it travels to the optic chiasm, located just below and in front of the pituitary gland (which is why a tumor on the pituitary gland, pressing on the optic chiasm, can cause vision problems).
