Particularly, we use headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze the volatile components of animal odors and scent-markings. Medicine A Technique for Subcutaneous Abdominal Adipose Tissue Biopsy via a Non-diathermy Method Vasileios Chachopoulos*1, Petros C.

Three cases of excessive post-operation bleeding out of 115 operations (2.61%) occurred.We conclude that an abdominal adipose tissue surgical biopsy using a non-diathermy method can be safely applied to healthy men.
