Cryolipolysis: A Review of Non-Invasive Fat Reduction Methods

Medical News Bulletin - Daily Medical News, Health News, Clinical Trials And Clinical Research, Medical Technology, Fitness And Nutrition News–In One Place

Quick Answer Cryolipolysis fat reduction is a clinically validated, non-invasive treatment that uses controlled cooling to induce apoptosis in subcutaneous adipocytes while sparing the skin, nerves, and vasculature. The lymphatic system gradually cleanses the treated fat cells in the targeted area over eight to twelve weeks, resulting in a measurable reduction of approximately twenty to […]

MCO-010 improves vision in patients with retinitis

DENVER — MCO-010, an optogenetic therapy, demonstrated vision improvements for patients with retinitis pigmentosa at 3 years, according to a presenter at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology meeting.
Optogenetic treatment for retinal disease focuses on restoring light sensitivity to retinal cells through the delivery of synthetic protein, Vinit B. Mahajan, MD, PhD, a retina specialist at Stanford University, told Healio. MCO-010 (Nanoscope Therapeutics), he said, is gene-agnostic.

“We're not picking a specific [form of] retinitis pigmentosa (RP),” Mahajan told

Passengers exposed to hantavirus arrive back in US

Eighteen additional American passengers from a cruise ship at the center of a deadly hantavirus outbreak have arrived back in the United States for monitoring, HHS officials and medical experts said at a press briefing Monday.
The passengers — including two who have tested positive — were taken to facilities in Nebraska and Georgia, where they will be quarantined for 6 weeks. Officials said the quarantine could possibly shift to an at-home quarantine but did not give specifics on that. 
Sixteen of the passengers were transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), home to

Unplanned cesarean delivery increases peritraumatic stress risk

WASHINGTON — Unscheduled cesarean delivery raises the risk for acute stress by over four times, according to a study presented at the ACOG Annual Clinical & Scientific Meeting.
Such stress was also tied to adverse mental health and bonding outcomes, the researchers found.
“Perinatal mental health screening is focused on depression. Traumatic stress conditions are not screened and often go undetected,” Sharon Dekel, PhD, MS, MPhil, founding director of the Postpartum Traumatic Stress Disorders Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, told Healio. “Our findings call for screening

AI-aided colonoscopy may help high-risk colorectal cancer group

AI-assisted colonoscopy could detect diminutive adenomas at higher rates than standard colonoscopy, which could be beneficial to populations at high risk for colorectal cancer.
A randomized trial of more than 1,300 individuals in Taiwan showed computer-aided detection (CAD) was noninferior to standard colonoscopy for adenoma detection in the general population, but had a 39% higher likelihood of detecting adenomas among patients with positive fecal immunochemical test (FIT) results.
“CAD should be strategically deployed as a precision tool for high-risk cohorts and as a quality-standardization

ACL injury prevention programs may reduce health care costs

A study published in Journal of Athletic Training showed the implementation of an ACL injury prevention program in a national high school soccer population may yield significant medical cost savings in short-term ACL treatment costs.
In a simulated study, Collin Peterson, PhD, MAT, ATC, and colleagues analyzed the return on investment of the cost of ACL treatment prevented with the use of an injury prevention program compared with the cost of the implementation of the prevention program based on data from the 2018 to 2019 U.S. high school soccer season.
In an all-payer model of both surgical

Veritas provides efficient surgery, low endothelial cell loss

WASHINGTON — Using the Veritas Vision System reduced phacoemulsification time and limited endothelial cell loss, according to a study presented at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting.
Carlton Yuen, MD, said fluidics features like the Veritas (Johnson & Johnson) dual pump system have improved surgical efficiency and reduced the amount of energy that surgeons apply to the eye.

“But currently, there is very limited data regarding the Veritas and its ability to preserve endothelial cells,” he said during a presentation.
Yuen and colleagues conducted a

‘The system is broken’: Dermatology’s rural workforce needs rebuilding

Dermatologists are disproportionately located at high rates in urban areas and low rates in rural areas — a reality driven by a lack of financial resources and support for both physicians and patients.
The poor health outcomes in rural America are well documented. One in five Americans currently lives in a rural area, with many being older, sicker and more likely to die from the top five causes of death than those who live in urban regions, according to the CDC. Despite these disparities, only 11% of physicians practice in rural communities, according to the Association of American Medical
