Development of Ultrasound Microbubbles and Phase Shift Microbubbles in Theranostics

WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology
ABSTRACT Ultrasound is widely used for diagnostic imaging and therapy. Microbubbles (MB) are effective reflectors of ultrasound and cavitation enhancers, hence their roles in diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound. MB must be of controlled size, concentration, biocompatible, and stable for biomedical use.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
