Purpose: We determined the optimal Ho:YAG lithotripsy power settings to achieve maximal fragmentation, minimal fragment size and minimal retropulsion.
Materials And Methods: Stone phantoms were irradiated in water with a Ho:YAG laser using a 365 μm optical fiber. Six distinct power settings were tested, including 0.
Objective: To determine if warming therapy increases the rate of weight gain in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) who are hospitalized for refeeding.
Method: Patients admitted to an eating disorders unit of a university teaching hospital were randomized to treatment and control arms. All patients wore a heating vest for 3 hr a day for 21 days.
