Cryogenics
In physics, cryogenics is the production and behaviour of materials at very low temperatures.
Infection
An infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce.
Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is an operation performed in the abdomen or pelvis using small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) with the aid of a camera.
Laser
A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation.
Leiomyoma
A leiomyoma, also known as a fibroid, is a benign smooth muscle tumor that very rarely becomes cancer (0.1%).
Liquid nitrogen
Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is nitrogen in a liquid state at low temperature.
See Myolysis and Liquid nitrogen
Muscle
Muscle is a soft tissue, one of the four basic types of animal tissue. Myolysis and Muscle are muscle tissue.
Necrosis
Necrosis is a form of cell injury which results in the premature death of cells in living tissue by autolysis.
Rhabdomyolysis
Rhabdomyolysis (shortened as rhabdo) is a condition in which damaged skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly, often due to high intensity exercise over a short period of time.
See Myolysis and Rhabdomyolysis
Scar
A scar (or scar tissue) is an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after an injury.
Skeletal muscle
Skeletal muscle (commonly referred to as muscle) is one of the three types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the other being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. Myolysis and Skeletal muscle are muscle tissue.
See Myolysis and Skeletal muscle
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is sound with frequencies greater than 20 kilohertz.
Uterine fibroid
Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas or fibroids, are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus, part of the female reproductive system.
See Myolysis and Uterine fibroid
Uterus
The uterus (from Latin uterus,: uteri) or womb is the organ in the reproductive system of most female mammals, including humans, that accommodates the embryonic and fetal development of one or more embryos until birth.
