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 retina is a multi-layered sensory tissue that lines the back of the eye. It is approximately 0.5mm thick, and consists of an outer pigmented layer of specialised epithelial cells and an inner neural portion. The middle of the retina is called the macula, and the centre of the macula contains the fovea. The fovea is specialised for detailed vision, and is naturally directed at objects when we look at them. The outer retinal pigment epithelium is a single layer of cells that abuts the underlying choroid.
