Non-invasive focused ultrasound for abdominal circumference reduction: does it really work?
Aim: Non-invasive body contouring is a promising modality. However, due to a lack of good evidence-based data, the mechanism by which contouring occurs remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of treatment with the Contour ITM ultrasound system (Ultrashape®, Syneron®, Israel) on abdominal circumference and to compare 2 power levels for efficacy and safety. Methods: ...
متن کاملRFA for liver tumors: does it really work?
The use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is increasing in the treatment of both primary and metastatic hepatic tumors. However, the role of RFA has yet to be clearly defined in patients who are still considered amenable to surgical intervention. Future prospective studies are needed to define whether RFA can be used as an alternative to surgery in certain patient populations. In the interim, ra...
متن کاملIntratympanic corticosteroid for sudden hearing loss: does it really work?
INTRODUCTION Sudden deafness is characterized by an abrupt hearing loss of at least 30dB in three sequential frequencies in the standard pure tone audiogram over three days or less. Treatment is based on its etiology, and oral corticosteroids are widely used. Intratympanic corticosteroids are included as primary or secondary treatment when there is no improvement with the use of oral corticoste...
متن کاملNon-invasive, Focused Ultrasound-Facilitated Gene Delivery for Optogenetics
Optogenetics, a widely used technique in neuroscience research, is often limited by its invasive nature of application. Here, we present a noninvasive, ultrasound-based technique to introduce optogenetic channels into the brain by temporarily opening the blood-brain barrier (BBB). We demonstrate the efficiency of the method developed and evaluate the bioactivity of the non-invasively introduced...
متن کاملMinimally invasive cardiopulmonary bypass: does it really change the outcome?
INTRODUCTION Many innovative cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) systems have recently been proposed by the industry. With few differences, they all share a philosophy based on priming volume reduction, closed circuit with separation of the surgical field suction, centrifugal pump, and biocompatible circuit and oxygenator. These minimally invasive CPB (MICPB) systems are intended to limit the deleteri...
