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 is the second of the Twelve Cranial Nerves. It consists of both afferent and efferent visual sensory fibers. The word afferent means toward the centre, as in from a peripheral area of a limb to the central nervous system. Henceforth the optic fibers travel within the optic nerve, known as the optic tract. 2  At the optic chiasm, half of the fibers continue into the optic nerve proper, while the other half cross over and continue on the contralateral side and vice versa.
