In this case study of an unique instance, effects of medium-energy, high-focused extracorporeal generated shock waves (ESW) onto the skin and the underlying fat tissue of a cellulite afflicted, 50-year-old woman were investigated. The treatment consisted of four ESW applications within 21 days. Diagnostic high-resolution ultrasound (Collagenoson) was performed before and after treatment. Direct...

This paper presents a robust finite volume shock-capturing scheme based on the rotated approximate Riemann solver. A general framework for constructing the rotated Riemann solver is described and a rotated Roe scheme is discussed in detail. It is found that the robustness of the rotated shock-capturing scheme is closely related to the way in which the direction of upwind differencing is determi...
