Use of Phosphatidylcholine in the Treatment of Localized Fat Deposits. Results and expectations

Abstract

Obesity represents a global health problem. According to the latest studies released by the World Health Organisation (WHO), 1.7 billion currently in excess of normal weight individuals, of which approx. 75% are overweight (body mass index - BMI 25 to 30). The common form of excess adipose tissue manifestation in overweight individuals is localized fat deposits with high (abdominal) or low (buttocks and thighs) disposition. Although the overweight can be corrected relatively easy by changing behavioral habits or food, a constant physical exercises program or following a diet food are not accessible to all through the efforts of will, financial and time involved. Several methods have been studied and tested over time to eliminate more or less invasive fat deposits with varying efficacy and adverse effects. Chemical lipolysis using phosphatidylcholine as the basic substance was initially used in hypercholesterolemia and its complications and was rapidly adopted in mesotherapy techniques for the treatment of fat deposits. This study reveals the results obtained using Dermastabilon on a sample of 16 patients, the time allocated to treatment and discomfort being minimal, and rapid and notable results. There were no side effects.

Changes of Visual Evoked Potentials in Patients with Thyroid Dysfunction

“…Then it can also be observed that the majority of obtained mediums have a very high safety and informative value, CV% being below 10% (see yellow colored boxes), and the ones with CV% over 10% have 11,15,16, maximum 21%, so not very high. Thus all the obtained mediums, generally speaking, are safe from an informative statistic point of view [24,29]. The differences between the average values obtained on the lot of hyperthyroid patients compared to the ones obtained on the lot of hypothyroid patients [37,41] are very high, between 32.02% and 140.85% -the majority are 40 ± 91% at nine comparisons, only at 2 they are lower than 13.91% and 6.44 (table 6).…”

The Role of Non-Pharmacological Treatment for Osteoporosis at Patients with High Plasmatic Concentration of ACTH

“…Depressive disorders and other kind of disorders associated to Cushing disease were: 13% of ACTH secretive pituitary tumor had a severe depression (mania, anxiety disorders, demoralization, irritable mood), quality of life of patients with Cushing's disease is compromised at 8% while 5% present a light depression and only 2.5% didn't present any symptoms of depression. [10,11,[13][14][15][16] The risk of depression at the Cushing disease patients is higher than the risk of this psychiatric manifestation at other pituitary affections. Symptoms noticed at Cushing patients were: psycho-emotional lability, physical and psychical asthenia, loss of initiative, inhibition, tendency of social isolation, amnesic difficulties, mania, psychosis, irritability, depressive ideation, panic attack, fatigue, anxiety, maladaptive personality [12,[17][18][19][20][21].…”

Assessment of Craniofacial Morphology in Mouth Breathing Children. A retrospective case-control study

“…Although the results are correct, the risk of bias in this conclusion rises from the fact that it doesn't take in account which of the younger and older patients are nasal or oral breathers. The development of craniofacial complex had a predominantly vertical direction for both respiratory types in the two age groups, even though the breathing impaired group showed a more significant longer face [27,28]. These findings may suggest that craniofacial morphology is rather a risk factor in developing oral breathing and not the otherwise.…”
