4 parts of new scientific world discovered in human body

For more than a century, the medical community has always believed that hanging membranes - an important part of the digestive system - have the function of attaching the intestines to the abdominal wall - just a structure with many separate parts, not an organ. in the body.

But recently, Professor J Calvin Coffey, a researcher from the University of Limerick Hospital in Ireland, recently announced in a report in the medical journal The Lancet last November that the mesenteric is an organ with continuous structure. To draw this conclusion, he and his colleagues studied mesenteric studies for 4 years.

With Coffey's discovery, scientists will have to add new parts to the medical anatomy curriculum. The professor of knowledge and future studies on mesenteric will contribute to reducing invasive surgery and reducing the risk of complications, while the cost of treatment is lower.

The hanging hanging

A part of the peritoneum - the lining of the abdominal cavity - attaches the intestine to the abdominal wall. The genius Leonardo da Vinci - painter, architect, doctor, musician, sculptor, philosopher, anatomist, engineer, naturalist, Italian creator - is the one who describes the early mesenteric Best. But then the scientific community only considered it an unimportant part. Nearly 100 years ago, some doctors considered hanging mesothelioma as a separate fragmentation structure and played an important role.

Lymphatic system in the brain

The medical community does not think the brain also has lymphatic system.

In 2015, Antoinne Louveau and Jonathan Kipnis - two researchers from the Virginia Medical University in the US - announced in the journal Nature that they discovered a new part in the human brain: Central nervous system lymphatic system. Its task is to transfer lymph from the brain to the surrounding lymph nodes.

In every part of the body, when a cell is damaged, the molecules and soft tissues move to the lymph nodes - where white blood cells will kill them. But the medical community does not think the brain has the lymphatic system.

Previously, the scientific community could not detect central nervous system lymphatic system because it was located deep in the sinuses of the cerebral sclera.

The 6th membrane of the cornea

Professor Harminder Dua, an eye specialist at Nottingham University in England, discovered a thin but tough membrane in the back of the cornea. Its thickness is only about 15 microns (or 15 millionths of a meter). Dua said that the new discovery not only changed the understanding of ophthalmologists about the structure of the eye, but also helped the surgery to treat lesions in Dua class become safer.

Before Dua discovered the membrane named after him, the scientific community only knew 5 membranes of the eye. Class Dua is the sixth membrane.

Some diseases affect the back of the cornea. With Dua's discovery, the world of ophthalmologists in the world thought about the role of Dua class with the appearance or disappearance of tears. For example, it is possible that corneal edema is caused by water from the Dua layer that erupts and accumulates in the cornea.

Fifth ligament in the knee

Knee injuries - including many ligaments, bones, cartilage, fluid, and tendons - are a very complex form of injury in medicine. Many people with knee injuries cannot recover completely after surgery.

In most cases, when the ligament is pre-broken, the front ligament also breaks. But the doctor only connected the front ligament so the knee could not function normally. That fact makes many doctors speculate that the knee has one more part, but they cannot prove its existence.

In late 2013, Steven Claes and Johann Bellemans - two doctors of the Leuven hospital in Belgium - announced they had found the fifth ligament in the knee. At that time, the hypotheses about the "mysterious part" of the knee joint became clear.
