Several strategies have been proposed in the literature to accelerate tooth movement, many of which are invasive and have numerous side effects, such as surgical techniques (corticotomy and piezocisio...
A patient with lower teeth crowding index of the same magnitude was selected. The orthodontic treatment with Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) thermal arc 0.015 in the lower arch was performed, associated with a...
Comparing the tooth movements of four elements of the two hemiarchies, it was found that, overall, the two teeth examined on the treated side underwent a more significant number of changes than on the...
The use of diathermy, according to the authors, is a non-invasive approach that may speed up the orthodontic alignment phase and reduce treatment duration, resulting in a lower risk of caries, gingiva...
Anogenital granulomatosis (AGG) is a rare, chronic condition that presents as progressive inflammation and lymphoedema of the anogenital region in both male and female patients. No guidelines exist fo...
To investigate whether intralesional corticosteroid injections with or without diathermy ablation (ILC +/- DA) would provide effective control of symptoms over a 6-month period in patients diagnosed w...
This retrospective observational cohort study enrolled 11 patients with AGG consecutively treated with ILC +/- DA at a single centre. The primary outcome was defined as a statistically significant dec...
Compared with pretreatment disease severity scores, there was a statistically significant decrease in disease severity scores at both 1 and 6 months post-treatment (P = 0.01). No significant associati...
To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate ILC +/- DA for patients with AGG. Our results indicate this could be an effective treatment for AGG. We would recommend comparative and longitu...
Around 36 000 people seek care in Sweden due to burns annually. This usually requires repeated wound care and in some case surgery. Iatrogenic burns are rare but may be deep. One cause could be prepar...
To analyze the risk of postoperative hemorrhage in tonsil surgery with different surgical methods, instruments, indications, and age groups. Monopolar diathermy compared to bipolar diathermy was of pa...
The data from tonsil surgery patients were retrospectively collected between 2012 and 2018 in the Hospital District of Southwest Finland. The surgical method, instruments, indication, sex and age and ...
A total of 4434 patients were included. The postoperative hemorrhage rate for tonsillectomy was 6.3% and for tonsillotomy 2.2%. The most frequently used surgical instruments were monopolar diathermy (...
Bipolar diathermy increased the risk for secondary bleedings compared to both monopolar diathermy and the cold steel with hot hemostasis technique in tonsillectomy patients. Monopolar diathermy did no...
Monopolar capacitive diathermy is a physiotherapy technique that uses high-frequency currents to generate heat in deep tissues. This heat can have several therapeutic effects, especially in the treatm...
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of focused low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (FLIPUS) with pulsed shortwave diathermy (PSWD) in subjects with painful knee osteoarthritis (OA...
Chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) is the most common musculoskeletal condition, which can be influenced by nociceptive, psychosocial, cognitive, and affective aspects, causing vulnerabilities ...
To investigate the usefulness of diathermy thermocoagulation in chalazion surgery....
This prospective, observational study included 30 sides from 24 patients who underwent chalazion surgery using diathermy thermocoagulation. The eyelid was fixed with a chalazion clamp under local anes...
The chalazion was not palpable in all cases 1 week postoperatively. A small chalazion redeveloped close to the primary lesion 2 weeks postoperatively in one patient; however, it spontaneously improved...
Thermocoagulation of chalazion contents using diathermy facilitates grasp, dissection, and excision of chalazion contents....
Myofascial pain syndrome is a painful musculoskeletal condition with muscle spasm, referred pain, stiffness, restricted range of motion. Capacitive-resistive diathermy heats deep tissues by transferri...
Thirty-six volunteers with active myofascial trigger points were included. Patients were randomly and equally allocated into two groups. Group-1 is the capacitive-resistive diathermy treatment group; ...
In both groups, VAS, PPT, NDI score significantly improved within the groups (p < 0.05). The CRG showed a statistically significant improvement in nROM for flexion, extension, and rotation (p < 0.05)....
There was no significant difference between the two groups. We thought positive results in the PG might attributed to doing exercise. As a result, capacitive-resistive diathermy is not superior to exe...
Although photothermal therapy (PTT) employing nanozymes has shown excellent antibacterial potential, excessive heating generally harms host cells and hinders recovery. Herein, we report an innovative ...
