BACKGROUND Excess subcutaneous fat causes not only cosmetic issues, but also substantial systemic health problems. Cryolipolysis has been reported to provide non-invasive fat reduction that significantly reduces subcutaneous fat cells with controlled, localized cooling. OBJECTIVE This study is intended to determine whether a cryolipolysis device can effectively reduce subcutaneous fat without...

Adipose tissue samples were biopsied from three subcutaneous sites in 80 obese and 27 non-obese patients. Additional samples were taken from intra-abdominal sites in 44 of the patients. There was a small increase in the calculated number of fat cells in the more obese patients, but there was no relation between fat-cell number and obesity of childhood onset. Omental fat cells were one-third the...

Leptin is an adipocytokine that has an important role in energy homeostasis and therefore in the patho-physiology of obesity. Leptin levels are influenced by many factors such as gender, race, energy intake, fat mass, etc. The aim of our study is to investigate the relationship of circulating leptin levels to anthropometric parameters and to the subcutaneous and visceral fat tissue determined b...

Background: NAFLD is a spectrum of diseases ranging from steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) fibrosis & cirrhosis. evolve over period time develop fibrosis, thereafter progression cirrhosis enhanced. Presence fat and myosteatosis may affect the clinical presentation, complications outcome. Aim compare body composition along with laboratory parameters patients among groups without s...

INTRODUCTION Using traditional experimental methodologies [1,2,3], the skin has to be separated from the subcutaneous tissues in order to determine the tissues’ viscoelastic properties. Thus, the complex collagen fiber network in soft tissue could be damaged when the skin is separated from the subcutaneous tissue. Therefore, the viscoelastic properties of the skin and subcutaneous tissues measu...

Cytology of cutaneous and subcutaneous masses represents an opportunity to screen potential surgical cases and determine an etiologic agent or rule out potential neoplasia. This session will focus on common non-neoplastic and neoplastic tumors that present to practitioners. Helpful hints are given how to best diagnose the conditions. Cytodiagnostic groups for cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues ...
