Abstract. The successful treatment of focal full-thickness articular defects of the knee has continued to present a formidable challenge, and no traditional treatment method has provided consistent acceptable, long-term clinical results.lthough the etiology of full-thickness chondral defects in the knee is not well-defined and the clinical course is unpredictable, it appears that articular cartilage lesions (ACL) are often associated with pain and limited mobility followed by degenerative changes typical of osteoarthritis.
Dehydration as a cause of a salty taste in the mouth. The most probable cause of a salty taste in the mouth is simply dehydration. The more dehydrated a person is, the more concentrated the chemicals are that are in saliva. The lips will also gradually become more salty when a person is dehydrated.
Most occurrences of a constant abnormal salty taste in the mouth is linked to smoking, which greatly increases the rate of salivary gland infections. Post-nasal drip is also very common and can result in a bad, salty taste in the mouth, which is especially pronounced if the drip is caused by eye drops. The few medical conditions that could result in a salty taste in the mouth each have much more obvious symptoms that are noted first.
