Therapeutic Ultrasound-Enhanced Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

Frontiers in Physics, 2021
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are designed to reinvigorate antitumor immune responses by interrupting inhibitory signaling pathways and promote the immune-mediated elimination of malignant cells.

Removal of Common Warts by High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound: An Introductory Observation

Case Reports in Dermatology, 2021
Therapies of common warts are cumbersome and not very effective. Recurrences are common. A new 20 MHz high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) method is introduced as a new potential treatment modality.

Modeling of Microbubble-Enhanced High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound [PDF]

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2019
Heat enhancement at the target in a High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) field is investigated by considering the effects of the injection of microbubbles in the vicinity of the tumor to be ablated. The interaction between the bubble cloud and the HIFU field is investigated using a three-dimensional numerical model.

High‐intensity focused ultrasound for noninvasive functional neurosurgery [PDF]

Annals of Neurology, 2009
AbstractTranscranial magnetic resonance (MR)‐guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound (tcMRgHIFU) implies a novel, noninvasive treatment strategy for various brain diseases. Nine patients with chronic neuropathic pain were treated with selective medial thalamotomies.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Pressure Field Characterization

2020 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC), 2020
One of the innovative methods in cancer treatment is to use high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology. HIFU transducers create a very high acoustic pressure (tens of MPa) area at the focal point of the tissue inside the body. The HIFU transducer pressure area should be characterized for effective and safe use in applications in cancer ...

Emerging clinical applications of high-intensity focused ultrasound

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 2019
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a minimally-invasive and non-ionizing promising technology and has been assessed for its role in the treatment of not only primary tumors but also metastatic lesions under the guidance of ultrasound or magnetic

Tissue atomization by high intensity focused ultrasound

2012 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, 2012
Liquid atomization and fountain formation by focused ultrasound was first published by Wood and Loomis [1]. Since then, the cavitation-wave hypothesis emerged to explain atomization in a fountain, which states atomization arises from a combination of surface capillary waves and the collapse of cavitation bubbles.

The Role of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Ataxia‐Telangiectasia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ataxia‐telangiectasia (A‐T) is a DNA repair disorder characterized by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established therapy in related disorders such as Fanconi anemia (FA) and Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), but its role in A‐T is unclear.
