BACKGROUND Unwanted submental fat (SMF) may result in an unattractive chin profile and dissatisfaction with appearance. An approved and rigorously tested non-surgical method for SMF reduction is lacking. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ATX-101 for the pharmacological reduction of unwanted SMF in a phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. METHODS Patient...

BACKGROUND MRI has developed into one of the most important medical diagnostic imaging modalities, but it exposes staff to static magnetic fields (SMF) when present in the vicinity of the MR system, and to radiofrequency and switched gradient electromagnetic fields if they are present during image acquisition. We measured exposure to SMF and motion-induced time-varying magnetic fields (TVMF) in...

This paper shows that optimal set-membership filtering (SMF) is identical to minimax ( ) filtering, if optimal SMF corresponds to the smallest error bound specification that leads to a non-empty feasible solution. An adaptive minimax filtering algorithm that uses optimal quadratic approximations to the minimax cost function is proposed for adaptive implementation of optimal SMF. The proposed al...

This pilot study was devoted to the effect of static magnetic field (SMF)-exposure on erosive gastritis. The randomized, self- and placebo-controlled, double-blind, pilot study included 16 patients of the 2nd Department of Internal Medicine, Semmelweis University diagnosed with erosive gastritis. The instrumental analysis followed a qualitative (pre-intervention) assessment of the symptoms by t...

Enzyme production varies in different fermentation systems. Enzyme expression in different fermentation systems yields important information for improving our understanding of enzymatic production induction. Comparative studies between solid-state fermentation (SSF) using agro-industrial waste wheat bran and submerged fermentation (SmF) using synthetic media were carried out to determinate the ...

Tissue engineering is a promising research field, which aims to create new functional muscle tissue in vitro, by utilizing the myogenic differentiation potential of human stem cells. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of static magnetic fields (SMF), combined with the use of the myogenic differentiation enhancing hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), on human satellite cel...

Numerical simulations are performed with a two-dimensional 2D fully nonlinear potential flow FNPF model for tsunami generation by two idealized types of submarine mass failure SMF : underwater slides and slumps. These simulations feature rigid or deforming SMFs with a Gaussian cross section, translating down a plane slope. In each case, the SMF center of mass motion is expressed as a function o...

Aim of this study was to investigate the application of normalized mean of the empirical Higuchi fractal dimension (FD) distributions, as a new approach to analyze the spontaneous bioelectrical activity of garden snail (Helix pomatia) Br neuron. The effect of ouabain on modulation of Br neuron bursting activity before and after the exposure to 10 mT static magnetic field (SMF) was observed by a...
