introduction: despite a growing popularity of noninvasive ultrasonic lipolysis procedure, there is a lack of evidence about the efficacy of this method. this study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of focused ultrasonic lipolysis on abdominal cellulite treatment. methods: twenty-eight consecutive subjects (age: 37.8 ± 8 years) underwent weekly transdermal focused ultrasonic lipolysis (med ...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to research the reliability and validity of Turkish version gynecologic cancer lymphedema questionnaire for individuals with cancer. STUDY DESIGN: The included 60 patients who underwent surgery lower limb in group 30 without non-lymphedema group. adaptation was completed by considering cultural process. For evaluation lymphedema, circumference measurement, skin layer...

embolectomy has long been the gold standard for treating limbs acutely threatened by arterial occlusion. delayed embolectomy has not been investigated adequately due to the belief that accompanying mortality and morbidity render the case futile. following our previous experience with late arterial repair for leg or knee salvage i we applied the same principle to limbs threatened with prolonged ...

The bounardy-value problem for the electromagnetic fields E(r, t) = {Er (r, z, t),0, Ez (r, z, t)} and B(r, t) = {0, Bg(r, z, <),0} in an electrically conducting cylinder of radius r = a and infinite length (— oo ^ 2 ^ -foo) is treated, which are excited by a periodic ac-current I(t) = I 0cosojt entering and leaving the cylinder through circumferential electrodes a t r = a and z = ± c. Solu­ ti...

OBJECTIVES To compare the physical fitness and physical activity of 8-year-old overweight children (n = 53) to normal weight children (n = 65), and to determine whether a significant relationship exists between physical activity of parents and their children. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study. METHODS A total of 119 children from Northern Finland were recruited for the study. Waist circu...

The high-lateral-tension abdominoplasty addresses the practical and theoretic faults of standard abdominoplasty design. Key features include limited direct undermining, increased lateral skin resection with highest-tension wound closure along lateral limbs, two-layer superficial fascial system repair, and significant truncal liposuction when needed. The high-lateral-tension design limits the un...

Directed outgrowth of neural processes must involve transmission of signals from the tips of filopodia to the central region of the growth cone. Here, we report on the distribution and dynamics of one possible element in this process, actin, in live growth cones which are reorienting in response to in situ guidance cues. In grasshopper embryonic limbs, pioneer growth cones respond to at least t...

On examination, the baby was full term AFD. The baby's weight at birth was 2670 g, length 46 cm, head circumference 32 cm, arm span of 44 cm, with US:LS ratio of 1.9:1. The cry and activity of the baby was fair. He had signs of severe respiratory distress with bilateral crepitations. The cardiovascular system was normal. The liver was palpable three cm below the right costal margin. There was n...
