Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of abdominal fat reduction in mini-pigs, utilizing at 1060 nm diode laser with a wavelength of 1060 nm.
Patients And Methods: The laser system non-invasively disrupts adipose tissue; its effectiveness and safety were evaluated by ultrasound imaging and histological analysis. Laser irradiation was performed with various powers, and the cooling function was activated to prevent skin surface damage.
Results: The dermal tissue temperature increased to at least 43°C during laser exposure, leading to a decrease in abdominal fat thickness after 30 days. Blood tests revealed no significant changes in kidney and liver function but showed increased blood levels of nonessential free acids (NEFAs), likely due to the release of fatty tissue-derived free fatty acids. Histological evaluation demonstrated rapid transformation of adipose tissue into collagen, muscle fibers, and intracellular fibrous tissue.
Conclusion: The 1060 nm laser showed promise as a non-invasive and safe tool for reducing abdominal fat.

Background: The link between obesity and cardiometabolic risk has been well recognized. We investigated the association between body fat percentage (BF%), as an appropriate indicator of obesity, and prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases using baseline data of Fasa PERSIAN cohort study.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was performed on data obtained at the first phase of the Fasa cohort study in Iran (n = 4658: M/F: 2154/2504).

Background: The metabolic score for visceral fat (METS-VF) is a recently identified index for evaluating visceral fat, also referred to as abdominal obesity. The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) serves as a critical measure for assessing muscle mass and sarcopenia. Both obesity and the reduction of muscle mass can significantly affect human health.

Purpose: To determine radiological and clinical features that can predict bowel ischemia in patients with pneumatosis intestinalis on CT.
Materials And Methods: Patients with "pneumatosis" in abdominal CT reports performed between 1/1/2002 and 12/31/2018 were retrospectively included.
CIDEC/FSP27 exacerbates obesity-related abdominal aortic aneurysm by promoting perivascular adipose tissue inflammation.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is strongly correlated with obesity, partially due to the abnormal expansion of abdominal perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-like effector C (CIDEC), also known as fat-specific protein 27 (FSP27) in rodents, is specifically expressed in adipose tissue where it mediates lipid droplet fusion and adipose tissue expansion. Whether and how CIDEC/FSP27 plays a role in AAA pathology remains elusive.

Background: Chylous ascites is an uncommon condition, occurring in less than 1% of ascites cases. It results from traumatic or obstructive disruption of the lymphatic system, causing the leakage of thoracic or intestinal lymph into the abdominal cavity. This leads to the accumulation of a milky, triglyceride-rich fluid.
