Ethnic-specific associations between abdominal and gluteal fat distribution and the metabolic complications of obesity : implications for the use of liposuction
More than three-quarters (77%) of the 40.5 million people living in South Africa are black African, of which more than 40% are urbanised. Black African women living in urban areas have a significantly higher prevalence (62%) of overweight than urban black males (28%) or white females (53%). It was …

Untersuchungen zur Wirksamkeit und Verträglichkeit von Lokalanästhetika für die Lokalanästhesie und die Tumeszenzlokalanästhesie
Die Tumeszenz-Lokalanästhesie (TLA) ist ein lokales Betäubungsverfahren, das zur Erleichterung der Fettabsaugung eingeführt wurde und eine zuverlässige Anästhesie auch ausgedehnter Operationsareale ermöglicht. In Europa wird jedoch statt Lidoacin häufiger Prilocain wegen der geringeren Toxizität …
