Effects of High-Energy Shock Waves on Testes of Wistar Rats

Journal of Endourology, 1993
The effects of high-energy shock wave (HESW) on testes are still unknown. We investigated Wistar rats at 3 months of age for morphologic and functional changes in the testes and in serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), progesterone (Prog), and testosterone (T).

Effects of high-energy shock waves on the viable human kidney

Urological Research, 1993
Between September 1990 and July 1991, we treated 17 patients with renal-cell carcinoma by radical nephrectomy and two patients with urothelial carcinoma of the kidney pelvis by ureteronephrectomy. Immediately after nephrectomy, perfusion of the kidneys with cold HTK solution was performed and the organs were kept in hypothermia of 8 degrees C.

High-Energy Shock Wave Treatment of Femoral Head Necrosis in Adults

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2001
Adults with Stages I to III osteonecrosis of the femoral head present an overall therapeutic challenge. The objective of the current prospective study was to show the effectiveness of high-energy shock wave therapy in treatment of patients with Association Research Circulation Osseous Stage I to Stage III necrosis of the femoral head by assessing ...

Effect of High Energy Shock Waves on Human Spermatozoa in vitro

European Urology, 1988
We investigated the effect of high energy shock waves on human spermatozoa in vitro. Human semen samples of proven motility, kept in polyethylene tubes, were subjected to shock waves (100, 500, and 1,000) using a HM3 Dornier lithotripter. A progressive decrease in the spermatozoa vitality was observed with increasing doses of shock waves.

Selenium reduces high energy shock wave-induced renal injury in rats

Urological Research, 2002
Using an in vitro model with Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, we showed that shock wave-induced renal injury could be ameliorated by selenium. We examined the influence of selenium, a free radical scavenger, in shock wave-induced tubular cell injury in vivo. Male rats were randomly assigned to three groups: 1 control (n= 18), 2 selenium (n = 18),

Effects of High Energy Shock Wave Exposure on Renal Function during Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for Kidney Stones

European Urology, 1990
In order to study the effects of high energy shock wave exposure on the kidney in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) using Dornier HM3, renal hemodynamics and renal function before and after ESWL were analyzed by 99mTc-DTPA renoscintigraphy.

Application of High Energy Shock Waves to Single Cells

1989
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has been in clinical use since 1980 with several hundred thousand patients treated to date. Striking complications, like perirenal hematomas, are rare with a range of approximately 0.5%–1.5%. High dose applications in pigs and dogs have shown devastating effects on renal parenchyma with intrarenal hemorrhage and ...

Transverse shock wave demagnetization of Nd2Fe14B high-energy hard ferromagnetics

Journal of Applied Physics, 2002
The action of transverse shock waves (the shock wave propagates across the magnetization vector M) on the magnetic phase state of a Nd2Fe14B high-energy hard ferromagnetic was investigated experimentally. The design of the ferromagnetic sample, which was made as a hollow cylinder, has made it possible to dramatically reduce the amount of the explosive ...

High-energy extracoporal shock wave therapy in plantar calcaneal spur

Der Unfallchirurg, 1998
Extracorporal shock wave application (ESWA) has been used in the treatment of stones located in kidneys, bile, pancreas and the glandula parotis. In the last 2 years several studies have shown the benefit of the ESWA on the treatment of soft tissue disorders.

Effect of High-Energy Shock Waves on Bony Tissue

1989
The indication for extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of lumbar and distal ureteral stones is well established. Ureteral calculi projecting onto the bony structures of the pelvis are not amenable to ESWL. Treatment options would include shock-wave treatment with the patient in a prone position where shock waves would pass ...
