- Definition, Epidemiology and Pathophysiology Labial adhesions, also known as labial agglutination, are defined as fusion of the labia minora in the midline. When the fusion occurs below the labia minora, vulvar adhesion is the correct terminology. Labial adhesions occur most commonly between 3 months and 6 years of age. The peak incidence is between 13 and 23 months of age. Labial adhesions are thought to develop secondary to vulvar inflammation in a low estrogen environment. This is why it is uncommon to see adhesions in the immediate newborn period (a period of maternal estrogen

- Adhesions are deposits of fibrous strands/scar tissue which can connect organs together. Organs in the peritoneal cavity (pelvic/abdominal space) normally slide freely against each other and adhesions can hinder this movement leading to such complications as pain, infertility and bowel obstruction.

Adhesion Adhesion may refer to the joining of two different substances due to attractive forces that hold them. For instance, cohesion causes water to form drops and adhesion keeps the water drops on the surfaces of leaves and flowers in place.

Cohesion Cohesion. Definition. noun. The act, state or process of sticking together. (physics) The intermolecular force that holds together alike molecules in a substance.ohesion also causes water molecules to form drops. Together with adhesion, It helps to explain the occurrence of surface tension and capillary action. In botany, cohesion pertains to the fusion of plant parts, such as in syncarpy. Word origin: From Latin cohaesus, past participle of cohaerēre, to cling together.

Tight junction Tight junctions, also known as occluding junctions or zonulae occludentes, are the closely associated areas of two cells whose membranes join together forming a barrier virtually impermeable to fluid. It is a type of junctional complex present only in vertebrates. The corresponding junctions that occur in invertebrates are septate junctions.

Adhesions (General and After Surgery) Adhesions Overview. An adhesion is a band of scar tissue that binds two parts of tissue or organs together. Adhesions may appear as thin sheets of tissue similar to plastic wrap or as thick fibrous bands.

Removal of Nasal Adhesions - Surgery Overview Removal of Nasal Adhesions - Surgery Overview. Removal of nasal adhesions is a procedure to separate scar tissue within the nose that has become connected, or fused. Fused tissue is called an adhesion. Adhesions in the nose are also called synechiae. Adhesions are a common, usually minor, complication of nasal or sinus surgery and nasal packing.

Adhesions / Adhesiolysis Adhesiolysis is the term for the surgery that is performed to remove or divide adhesions so that normal anatomy and organ function can be restored and painful symptoms can be relieved. In some rare cases, adhesions form without visible or known tissue trauma.

Adhesion Molecules-Their Role in Health and Disease This family of adhesion molecules was discovered in 1989, when the cDNA sequences of three distinct cell surface glycoproteins found on endothelium(E-selectin, CD62E), platelets (P-selectin, CD62P), and leukocytes(L-selectin, CD62L) were reported.

Cell adhesion molecule (Redirected from Adhesion molecules). Cell adhesion molecules (CAM s) are proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings.

- Cohesion refers to a liquid's attraction to itself, that is , between its atoms or molecules. Adhesion is the attraction of the liquid to the container holding it. For example…, the surface of water in a glass curves upwards at the rim- also known as the meniscus, because adhesion exceeds cohesion.

Contents: Adhesion vs Cohesion Adhesion vs. Cohesion. Cohesion is the property of like molecules (of the same substance) to stick to each other due to mutual attraction. Adhesion is the property of different molecules or surfaces to cling to each other. For example, solids have high cohesive properties so they do not stick to the surfaces they come in contact.

adhesion Vaginal and rectal examination reveal bands of adhesion across the passage, or transverse partitions that completely block it. In the latter there may be an accumulation of exudate or secretion cranial to it. Three-dimensional adhesions convert the vagina into a solid mass with a similar obstructive effect. See also vaginal.

Laparoscopic Lysis of Small Bowel Adhesion Surgeries with large incisions that leave the bowel exposed for hours are notorious for creating adhesions. Using gentle techniques in handling the bowel and organs and the development of minimally invasive surgeries like those used by this practice are excellent strategies for reducing inflammation, scar and adhesions after surgery.

Polarized sorting and trafficking in epithelial cells Exchange by vectorial transport for uptake and secretion is managed by a large array of transporters, channels and receptors that are distributed in distinct plasma membrane domains. The plasma membrane of a polarized epithelial cell is subdivided into an apical and a basolateral domain by tight junctions.The basolateral domain comprising spot desmosomes, gap junctions and adherent junction contacts with the basement membrane and neighboring cells mediates cell to cell contacts and communication.ntroduction. Throughout the body, polarized epithelial cells are organized into sheets that line the surfaces and cavities of organs (for example, in the respiratory, urinary and digestive systems) to perform multiple physiological functions.
