Hearing Loss Linked to Accelerated Brain Tissue Loss - 01/22/2014. Hearing Loss Linked to Accelerated Brain Tissue Loss. Although the brain becomes smaller with age, the shrinkage seems to be fast-tracked in older adults with hearing loss, according to the results of a study by researchers from Johns Hopkins and the National Institute on Aging.
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee is visualized clearly on ultrasound examination, as are the major components of the lateral ligamentous complex, the iliotibial band, the popliteal tendon, the lateral collateral ligament proper, and the biceps femoris tendon.lnar collateral ligament of the thumb. The normal radial collateral ligaments and UCLs are visualized easily with high-frequency transducers as hyperechoic bands. On ultrasound, the ligament is examined primarily in the longitudinal (coronal) and transverse planes.
