Clinical use of renal point-of-care ultrasound after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

open access: yesThe Ultrasound Journal, 2019
Background Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is widely used to treat symptomatic nephrolithiasis. Complications of this procedure can occur and point-of-care ultrasound can help to diagnose and manage some of these cases.

Use of the Shock Wave Therapy in Basic Research and Clinical Applications—From Bench to Bedsite

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Shock Waves (SW) are acoustic disturbances that propagate through a medium carrying the energy. These specific sonic pulses are composed of two phases—high positive pressure, a rise time < 10 ns, and a tensile wave. Originally Shock Waves were introduced

Numerical simulations of non-spherical bubble collapse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A high-order accurate shock- and interface-capturing scheme is used to simulate the collapse of a gas bubble in water. In order to better understand the damage caused by collapsing bubbles, the dynamics of the shock-induced and Rayleigh collapse of a ...

Non-spherical collapse of an air bubble subjected to a lithotripter pulse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In order to better understand the contribution of bubble collapse to stone comminution in shockwave lithotripsy, the shockinduced and Rayleigh collapse of a spherical air bubble is investigated using numerical simulations, and the free-field collapse ...

Tratamento conservador de trauma renal grave após litotripsia extracorpórea por ondas de choque

open access: yesRevista do Colégio Brasileiro de Cirurgiões
Subcapsular and perinephric hematomas are relatively common after shock-wave lithotripsy, but high-grade kidney injuries are extremely rare. We present the first case of a high-grade kidney injury after shock-wave lithotripsy managed conservatively. A 57-
