Eulerian-Lagrangian method for simulation of cloud cavitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method to simulate cloud cavitation in a compressible liquid. The method is designed to capture the strong, volumetric oscillations of each bubble and the bubble-scattered acoustics.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and the radiologist [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Roentgenology, 1986
When a hospital acquires a lithotripter it is unlikely that the volume of interventional radiology performed by personnel in that institution will be reduced. On the contrary, a significant increase in workload will probably occur. This will encompass not only interventional procedures on the urinary tract, but will also involve abdominal radiographs ...

Identification of the course of plastic stent‐induced pancreatic duct mucosal change in chronic pancreatitis using peroral pancreatoscopy (with video)

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2025.
Abstract Stent‐induced ductal change is a complication of endoscopic treatment of the main pancreatic duct in chronic pancreatitis. Most previous reports have been based on morphological duct changes observed via pancreatography. Here, we describe a case of stent‐induced ductal change in which the course of the mucosal changes was observed through ...

Laser Lithotripsy — The New Wave

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1990
Currently more than 90% of all common bile duct concrements can he removed via the endoscopic retrograde route by means of endoscopic papillotomy, stone extraction by baskets and balloon catheters, or mechanical lithotripsy.

Computational Models of Material Interfaces for the Study of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

open access: yes, 2012
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal ailments. A shock wave is generated in water and then focused using an acoustic lens or reflector so the energy of the wave is concentrated in a small ...

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic cystogastrostomy in very young children (aged <5 years): Feasibility, success, and safety

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2025.
Abstract Objectives Paucity of data and concerns about potential lower effectiveness and more adverse events limit the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic cystogastrostomy in younger children even in high‐volume centers.

First report on the persist time of the free radical produced by shock wave pulses employed in clinical ESWL

open access: yesUltrasonics Sonochemistry, 2022
The shock wave used in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) induces strong cavitation and generates a large amount of free radicals (FR). In order to evaluate the harmfulness of FR in the ESWL, information on the incidence and persist time of FR ...
