The Early Years of HDTV. Modern-day HDTV has its roots in research that was started in Japan by the NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) in 1970. In 1977, the SMPTE (The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers) Study Group on High Definition Television was formed.
What is the connection between Peyronieâs disease and Dupuytrenâs contracture? Many men with Peyronieâs disease also have Dupuytrenâs contracture, a connective tissue disorder that causes scar tissue to harden on the palm of the hand. This causes fingers to curve, much like the penis curves in Peyronieâs disease.
This scar tissue then forms the plaque of Peyronie's disease. Peyronie's disease is the result of a problem in the way the body heals wounds. Other Factors. Not all men who suffer mild trauma to the penis get Peyronie's disease. For this reason, most researchers believe there must be genetic or environmental reasons Peyronie's disease plaques form.
