AI Article Synopsis
- Image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation is an effective way to alleviate pain in patients with painful bone tumors, particularly aiding those with osteoid osteomas.
- Radiofrequency and laser ablation techniques not only help reduce pain from these tumors but also assist in managing localized osteolytic metastatic lesions, enhancing patient comfort.
- A team approach involving various specialists, including orthopedic and neurosurgeons, oncologists, and interventional radiologists, is crucial for optimal patient care in these complex cases.
Article Abstract
Image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation is a safe and effective method to reduce pain in patients with painful bone tumors. Computed tomography-guided radiofrequency or laser ablation is the modality of choice for most osteoid osteomas. Radiofrequency or laser thermal ablation also offers an alternative method for palliation of localized, painful osteolytic metastatic lesions. Pain can be reduced and neural damage prevented, improving the quality of life for patients with cancer who often have multimorbid conditions and limited life expectancy. A multidisciplinary approach that includes orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, and interventional radiologists is essential to manage these patients.

These treatments range from laser resurfacing and radiofrequency procedures to chemical peels and microneedling. The concept of integrated skincare is based on the application of adjunct therapies before, during, or after cosmetic medical procedures to promote healing, minimize discomfort, shorten down-time, and enhance overall aesthetic outcomes.

Radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering method employing GeTe and Sc targets was exploited for the deposition of Sc doped GeTe thin films. Different characterization techniques (scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, sheet resistance temperature-dependent measurements, variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry, and laser ablation time-of-flight mass spectrometry) were used to evaluate the properties of as-deposited (amorphous) and annealed (crystalline) Ge-Te-Sc thin films. Prepared amorphous thin films have GeTe, GeTeSc, GeTeSc, GeTeSc and GeTeSc chemical composition.

Bromhidrosis significantly impacts individuals' social, professional, and emotional well-being. Traditional treatments such as en bloc excision and alcohol injections are now less favored due to associated complications and suboptimal outcomes. Current evidence identifies botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) as the first-line treatment for mild to moderate cases (Grade 0-2), attributed to its high efficacy, excellent safety profile, and minimally invasive nature.

Background: Endovascular radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Endovascular Laser Ablation (EVLA) are minimally invasive methods to safely treat symptomatic varicose veins in pediatric patients. This research aimed to review the management of pediatric patients with venous insufficiency, evaluate the outcome, and determine the efficacy, convenience, and safety of ablation procedures in an outpatient setting.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients seen at six locations from 2013 to 2024 was completed.
