Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

4.9K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Oxymercuration-Reduction of Alkenes

9.4K
Oxymercuration–reduction of alkenes is one of the major reactions converting alkenes to alcohols. It involves the hydration of alkenes with mercuric acetate in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and water, forming an organomercury adduct. This is followed by a demercuration step in which the adduct is reduced to an alcohol using sodium borohydride.

Block Diagram Reduction01:22

Block Diagram Reduction

574
The process of deriving the transfer function of a control system often involves reducing its block diagram to a single block. This simplification can be achieved through a series of strategic operations, including relocating branch points and comparators. These operations preserve the overall function of the system while allowing for easier manipulation and combination of blocks.
The first step in this process is the identification and relocation of a branch point. A branch point, where a...

Fats as Energy Storage Molecules01:06

Fats as Energy Storage Molecules

27.1K
Triglycerides are a form of long-term energy storage molecules. They are made of glycerol and three fatty acids. To obtain energy from fat, triglycerides must first be broken down by hydrolysis into their two principal components, fatty acids and glycerol. This process, called lipolysis, takes place in the cytoplasm. The resulting fatty acids are oxidized by β-oxidation into acetyl-CoA, which is used by the Krebs cycle. The glycerol that is released from triglycerides after lipolysis...

Phase I Reactions: Reductive Reactions01:27

Phase I Reactions: Reductive Reactions

618
Phase I biotransformation reductive reactions are chemical processes that modify drugs by introducing or revealing polar functional groups via reduction. Enzymes called reductases catalyze these reactions, playing a pivotal role in drug metabolism by transforming lipophilic drugs into more polar, water-soluble metabolites for easy excretion. An essential type of reductive reaction is the carbonyl group reduction, where aldehydes and ketones are reduced to alcohols. An example is the...

Area of Science:

  • Aesthetic medicine and body contouring.

Background:

  • Cryolipolysis is a proven method for non-invasive subcutaneous fat reduction.
  • Customized treatment approaches are needed to address variable fat distribution, particularly in the arms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of using a new small applicator with an existing medium applicator for customized arm fat treatment.
  • To assess patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes of this combined cryolipolysis approach.

Main Methods:

  • Fifteen subjects underwent simultaneous bilateral arm treatment using one or two cryolipolysis applicators (small or medium).
  • Up to two treatment cycles per arm were administered based on fat bulge assessment, with temperatures reaching -11°C for 35 minutes.
  • Efficacy was assessed via ultrasound measurements and standardized photographs at baseline and 12 weeks; safety and satisfaction were monitored throughout.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant fat layer reduction of 2.5 mm (±2.4 mm) was observed via ultrasound.
  • 87% of subjects reported high satisfaction with the arm cryolipolysis procedure.
  • Adverse events were mild (erythema, swelling, temporary numbness) and resolved without intervention; 83% of before/after photos were correctly identified by blinded physicians.

Conclusions:

  • A customized cryolipolysis approach using small and/or medium applicators is safe and effective for reducing arm fat.
  • This method addresses variable fat distribution and achieves high patient satisfaction.
  • The concurrent use of different applicator sizes allows for tailored treatment of arm contouring concerns.
