Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.

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.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

High-intensity focused ultrasound ablation around the tubing.

PLoS ONE, 2017
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has been emerging as an effective and noninvasive modality in cancer treatment with very promising clinical results. However, a small vessel in the focal region could be ruptured, which is an important concern for

Modelling and numerical investigations of transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation [PDF]

, 2022
Transcranial focused ultrasound is a non-invasive stimulation modality delivering mechanical energy to deeper brain regions in the form of an acoustic pressure wave, which can result in numerous bioeffects.

Preoperative circulating tumor cells integrated with imaging analysis for prognostic evaluation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood before surgery may help predict outcomes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show when combined with tumor size and lymph node involvement from routine imaging, CTC status identifies high‐risk patients with poorer survival—offering a simple, minimally invasive tool ...

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 ...
