Our initial study findings have demonstrated the efficacy of coagulation of hemorrhoids by the radiofrequency technique. These results are doubtless encouraging. However, long-term follow-up is ...

The fully rectified current is used for simultaneous cutting and coagulation. The partially rectified current is used for coagulation, and the fulgurating current is used for destruction of large ...

jhmi.edu Plasma mediated radiofrequency ablation (pmRFA) may allow for the percutaneous treatment of spinal tumors with a decreased risk of thermal injury to neural structures compared with ...

Purpose: To describe a novel ultrasound-guided technique for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of vascular malformations—the “moving shot technique.” Methods: Preliminary observational cohort study ...

Abstract: The minimal lattice changes caused by thermal ageing present a significant challenge for non-destructive testing. This study proposes the use of a high-frequency resonance eddy current ...

Lax crepey skin is a major unsightly finding throughout the face and body that occurs from chronological aging and environmental photodamage. Surgical lifting procedures are unable to induce ...

Daily electrical stimulation of certain nerves in the spinal cord appeared to help three people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an inherited disorder that causes muscles to waste away.

An experimental treatment that stimulates the spinal cord may help people with a paralyzing genetic disorder. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports on a study of three people with a rare inherited condition. JON ...

On Wednesday, researchers reported what they called the first evidence that a spine-stimulating implant already being tested for paralysis might also aid neurodegenerative diseases like spinal ...
