The effectiveness of criteria-based, publicly funded abdominoplasty after massive weight loss: a prospective cohort study

Australasian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2023
**Background**: With the rising incidence of obesity and bariatric surgery, there has been an increase in body contouring procedures. Abdominoplasty, following massive weight loss, has been shown to improve body image and health-related quality of life ...

Mechanics of Telson Ridges in Mantis Shrimp for Impact Analysis and Implications for Bioinspired Elastic Shell Designs

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The mantis shrimp telson reveals how ridged biological shields control deformation under impact. Inspired by this architecture, telson‐inspired ridged curved shells transform ridge geometry and macroscopic curvature into bidirectional snap‐through, tunable stiffness, and enhanced hysteretic energy dissipation for multifunctional architected materials ...

Analysis of laboratory markers in body contouring procedures after bariatric surgery does not indicate particular risks for perioperative complications

Perioperative Medicine
Background Body contouring surgery after massive weight loss is associated with different risk factors. Wound healing disorders and seromas commonly occur postoperatively.

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Body contouring surgery in a massive weight loss patient: An overview

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2008
The number of patients with history of extreme overweight and massive weight loss (MWL) has risen significantly. Majority of patients are left with loose, ptotic skin envelopes, and oddly shaped protuberances, subsequent to weight loss.

Safety and Effectiveness of Real-time Direct Vision Liposuction Performed Using Intraoperative Ultrasonography

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Background:. Liposuction is a frequently performed procedure for body contouring. Various advances, such as retraction technology and ultrasonography, have helped achieve better results, verify the correct anatomical level, and increase the safety of the

Evidence for Itinerant Ferromagnetic Flat Bands Producing Large Transverse Responses

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Itinerant ferromagnetic flat bands are demonstrated in GdCo5 with a high Curie temperature of 940K, a stacked honeycomb–kagome lattice, through angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy and magneto‐thermoelectric measurements. These topological flat bands generate large Berry curvaturte, producing gigantic anomalous Nernst effect with record‐high ...

Nano‐Architected Metallic Metamaterial With Enhanced Fatigue Resistance via Dislocation Starvation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoscale Ni single crystals exhibit remarkable fatigue resistance over an order of magnitude higher than that of bulk single crystals through dislocation starvation. By translating this mechanism into geometric nano‐architecture, nano‐architected Ni single‐crystal metamaterials achieve about twice the fatigue resistance of the bulk, despite their ...
