permafrost
Definition:
Permafrost é um solo formado por terra, rochas e gelo que permanece congelado em toda a faixa do Ártico. Este tipo de solo ocorre em altas latitudes e em grandes altitudes também, com variação na quantidade de gelo no solo. Grande parte desse tipo de solo permanece congelada há milhares de anos, absorvendo carbono e armazenando-o como matéria orgânica

geopiet Pierścień rotatorów powinien być rozpatrywany jako wielowarstwowa struktura składająca się z przeplatających się i zespalających ze sobą włókien ścięgien i kompleksu torebkowo-więzadłowego spełniających różne funkcje sta- tyczno-dynamiczne. Grubość tych warstw jest porównywalna, stąd duże znaczenie ma świadomość, że patologie kompleksu torebkowo-więzadłowego mogą stać się poważną przeszkodą w prawidłowym funkcjonowaniu stawu ramiennego, mając istotny wpływ na zachowanie się całego pierścienia rotatorów. Zrozumienie anatomii i funkcji warstw pierścienia rotatorów wyjaśnia część zagadki tworzenia się <b>hydroksyapatytowych jam wapiennych pomiędzy warstwami ścięgien/kompleksu</b>. Jamy te są konsekwencją uszkodzeń entezy pierścienia rotatorów na granicy przyczepu warstwy ścięgnistej i torebkowo-więzadłowej. Takie uszkodzenie entezy otwiera drogę do wypełniania już istniejących rozwarstwień ścięgna-kompleksu oraz aktywnego ich rozlaminowywania poprzez ciągłe wypełnianie materiałem wapiennym. - https://tinyurl.com/yxw2xtju

geopiet Rotator cuff should be regarded as a multilayer structure consisting of fused fibers of tendons and capsuloligamentous complex. The thickness of these layers is comparable therefore it is important to realize that capsular pathologies may become a serious obstacle to normal shoulder joint function. Understanding of anatomical rotator cuff layers explains the <b>formation of calcific cavities within the rotator cuff</b>. In fact between layers of the cuff. Calcific cavities are a sequelae of chronic enthesopathy/enthesal tear with hydroxyapatite filling and probably delaminating the tendinous layer from the capsuloligamentous one. - https://tinyurl.com/yxw2xtju
