Contrast-enhanced ultrasound microbubble uptake and abnormal plasma biomarkers are seen in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms

JVS - Vascular Science
Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth is unpredictable. We hypothesize that contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging and plasma inflammatory biomarkers (PIBs) may detect AAA wall inflammation.

Experimental Investigation of Microbubble Evolution in the Liquivac Multiphase Flow Pump

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper aims to experimentally investigate the mechanisms of microbubble characteristics evolution within an axial pump. The findings will aid in assessing the pump performance by identifying the range of bubble sizes and comparing them with the threshold size (< 300 μm). This study also provides evidence supporting the use of such pumps as

Ultrasound–Calcination Synergistic Control of (Ce, La)PO4 Catalyst Structure for Enhanced Low‐Temperature NH3‐SCR Performance

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, (Ce, La)PO4 catalysts were synthesized via an ultrasound‐assisted method. The effects of ultrasound duration and calcination temperature on the low‐temperature NH3‐SCR performance were systematically investigated. The results indicated that the (Ce, La)PO4 catalyst prepared with an ultrasound treatment time of 20 min and a ...

Insights from meta‐analysis for efficient docosahexaenoic acid production in thraustochytrids through advanced cultivation and fermentation strategies

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This systematic review examines strategies for docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production by thraustochytrids, focusing on cultivation techniques, fermentation technologies, and carbon/nitrogen optimization to increase productivity. Among 169 eligible articles, the 100 most productive studies (0.7–10.3 g DHA L−1 per day) were analyzed. Quantitative

Enhancement of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Heating by Short-Pulse Generated Cavitation

Applied Sciences, 2017
A target tissue can be thermally coagulated in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment noninvasively. HIFU thermal treatments have been clinically applied to various solid tumors. One of the problems in HIFU treatments is a long treatment time.

Spectral Imaging for Microbubble Characterization

Langmuir, 2019
Microbubbles stabilized by an outer lipid shell have been studied extensively for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The shell composition can significantly influence microbubble behavior, but performing quantitative measurements of shell properties is challenging.

Coronary Slow Flow and No‐Reflow During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Contemporary Insights Into Imaging‐Guided Prediction, Prevention, and Management

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coronary slow flow (SF) and no‐reflow (NR) are clinically significant complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), particularly in ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and saphenous vein graft (SVG) interventions. Angiographically defined as impaired myocardial perfusion despite restored epicardial patency, SF/NR ...
