Ultrasonically assisted body contouring

Body contouring after biliopancreatic diversion.

BACKGROUND From Nov 2001 to Mar 2006, 176 patients underwent body contouring plastic surgery after prior biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). Weight loss had varied from 30-100 kg. The plastic surgery targeted the arms (24 patients), breast (58), abdomen (62) and thighs (20), plus torsoplasty (12).

Enhanced ultrasonically assisted turning of a β-titanium alloy.

Although titanium alloys have outstanding mechanical properties such as high hot hardness, a good strength-to-weight ratio and high corrosion resistance; their low thermal conductivity, high chemical affinity to tool materials severely impair their machinability. Ultrasonically assisted machining (UAM) is an advanced machining technique, which has been shown to improve machinability of a β-tita...
