... with needles designed for both cosmetic and decorative applications. Decorative tattoo needles are more affordable cost-wise. Cosmetic tattoo needles have equivalent properties of those needles used in medical applications (injectable needles) or acupuncture. Steel is a highly developed engineering...

... growth, immediate functions, and length of hospital stay, but also to long-term health and quality of life. In this book, we present guidance for the practical application of nutritional care of preterm infants, based on a critical evaluation of current clinical and scientific evidence. Leading...

... during pregnancy, parents and caregivers who have a role in feeding the infant, and the infant in later childhood and beyond. Nutrition education interventions that hold promise in the promotion of healthy infant growth are designed on the basis of applicable theory of health behavior, focus on multiple...

... and/or excessive medical interventions and their consequences. Quaternary prevention is also applicable to dentistry as visiting a dentist does not necessarily improve a patient's oral health and the restorative treatment by itself does not cure the disease [ 4 , 5 ]. Quaternary prevention is of particular...

... application in radiotherapy planning in the work by Monz et al. [ 2 ]. Successive refinements of the method led to the implementations in products of RaySearch (Stockholm, Sweden) and Varian (Palo Alto, CA, USA). In essence, the method combines 3 elements: (1) every solution it presents is Pareto-optimal...

... and it is possible to foresee new, interesting and promising applications in the fields of regenerative medicine. Original Concept of ESWT on Ischemic Organ Dysfunction Chronic Inflammation Plays a Crucial Role for Developing Cardiovascular Diseases-Impact of ESWT on Suppressing Inflammatory Reaction...

... cardiovascular disorders. Furthermore, LESW has been proposed to use in the urology field including erectile dysfunction, nonbacterial chronic prostatitis, and chronic pelvic pain syndromes. This chapter describes the biological effect of LESW and its current application and potential development in functional...

... Abstract Coupled plasma filtration and adsorption (CPFA) is a detoxification system that combines a plasma adsorption circuit and a continuous renal replacement therapy circuit. Its main application is for sepsis and septic shock with or without acute renal failure. Several recent studies have...

... blood treatments for specific purposes, and better understanding of their basic aspects may further expand the potential for their clinical application. In this chapter, the basic principles applying to sorbents are discussed, including composition and structure, along with the fundamental mechanisms...

... if a statistically significant result is likely to be clinically important, a 3-step approach may be useful, focusing on CIs and the proportion of eyes with clinically meaningful changes in vision. Application of clinical trial results to clinical practice requires critical analysis of the extant literature and good...

... geriatric concepts and examples of care models, and subsequently use a patient case to illustrate their applications at the patient level. At the system level, we discuss how HIV service networks can use components of geriatric care models to meet the needs of aging HIV-infected patients. Lastly, we...

... were found in these patients. Serious complications specific to the superficialized artery access may be prevented by application of the buttonhole method. In recent years, the patient population with severe arteriosclerosis, heart failure, and/or diabetes mellitus has increased. Such patients...

... to natural bone, limit their clinical application. Bone is a kind of organic-inorganic composite where apatite nanocrystals are precipitated onto collagen fibre networks. Thus, one way to address these problems is to mimic the natural composition of bone by using bioactive ceramics via material designs based...

... Abstract This chapter summarizes the basic science of radiofrequency (RF) and its application in aesthetic medicine. The main parameters of RF including RF frequency, waveform, power, pulse duration, and penetration depth are described, and its application for treatment is analyzed. Monopolar...

Since the original description in 1989 that defined distance or distributed learning as ‘the application of telecommunications and electronic devices which enable students and learners to receive instruction...

... be used for real-time assessment of both anatomy and function. In this chapter, the current status of (clinical) applications of NIR fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green during HPB surgery is evaluated. NIR fluorescence imaging combines the use of NIR fluorescent contrast agents and specially...
