January 2025
Department of Plastic Surgery, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital, School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University, No. 168 Litang Road, Changping District, Beijing 102218, China.
Background: With rising demand for non-invasive body contouring, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of non-focused, low-intensity ultrasound for lower abdominal lipolysis.
Methods: The enrolled subjects prospectively received 6 weekly sessions of well-setting ultrasound treatment with frequency of 1 MHz and an intensity of 2.2 W/cm2, to target the subcutaneous fat of lower abdomen with three regions (left, middle, and right).

At the end of the twentieth century, inequality in the prison admission rates of Black and White Americans was comparable to inequality in the prison admission rates of people with and without a college education. However, educational inequality is now much greater than racial inequality in prison admissions for all major crime types.

Department of Orthopaedics and Spine Surgery, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria "Luigi Vanvitelli", Università della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, 80138 Naples, Italy.
Aim: Patient specific pre-contoured rods (PSRs) represent a relatively new technological development aimed at improving surgical outcomes and reducing complications in adult spinal deformity surgery. To date, only a limited number of studies have been published comparing PSRs with traditional spinal rods. In this paper, we compare the surgical, imaging, and clinical outcomes of PSRs and traditional spinal rods in a single-center case-matched study.
