Predictive value of SAR based quality indicators for head and neck hyperthermia treatment quality
Purpose: Hyperthermia treatment quality determines treatment effectiveness as shown by the clinically derived thermal-dose effect relations. SAR based optimization factors are used as possible surrogate for temperature, since they are not affected by ...

Non-calorimetric determination of absorbed power during magnetic nanoparticle based hyperthermia [PDF]
Nanomagnetic hyperthermia (NMH) is intensively studied with the prospect of cancer therapy. A major challenge is to determine the dissipated power during in vivo conditions and conventional methods are either invasive or inaccurate.

Using a Conformal Water Bolus to Adjust Heating Patterns of Microwave Waveguide Applicators [PDF]
Background: Hyperthermia, i.e., raising tissue temperature to 40-45°C for 60 min, has been demonstrated to increase the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy for cancer.

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic disorder of skeletal muscle that presents as a hypermetabolic response to potent volatile anesthetic gases such as halothane, sevoflurane, desflurane and the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine, and rarely, in humans, to stresses such as vigorous exercise and heat.

The role of mitochondria-derived reactive oxygen species in hyperthermia-induced platelet apoptosis. [PDF]
A combination of hyperthermia with radiotherapy and chemotherapy for various solid tumors has been practiced clinically. However, hyperthermic therapy has side effects, such as thrombocytopenia.

Carvedilol inhibits the cardiostimulant and thermogenic effects of MDMA in humans : lost in translation [PDF]
We greatly appreciate the comments offered by Drs Rolle, Takematsu, and Hoffman and the opportunity to put our work into a wider perspective. We share the view that our work does not reflect the clinical situation but rather provides a proof of mechanism
