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.
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury refers to a sprain, partial tear or complete tear of the ligament that traverses the inside (or medial side) of the elbow.The UCL is the primary stabilizer of the elbow and plays an important role in throwing and hitting sports, such as baseball, football and tennis.An injury to the UCL has two main causes. First, repetitive stress, as seen in an overhand pitcher, can cause micro-tears in the ligament that, over time, weaken the ligament.This may be due to poor throwing mechanics, fatigue or lack of conditioning.n injury to the UCL has two main causes.
