High intensity ultrasound modified ovalbumin: Structure, interface and gelation properties

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound –

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

INTRODUCTION Curative treatments for localized prostate cancer, from least invasive to most invasive, include brachytherapy, cryosurgery, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, external beam radiation therapy, and radical prostatectomy. A patient with localized, low risk or intermediate risk prostate cancer who is diagnosed at an early age and receives one of these treatments has only a...

Effects of Preparation Temperature on Gelation Properties and Molecular Structure of High-Amylose Maize Starch

Cereal Chem. 78(4):442–446 In this study, 3% aqueous high-amylose maize starch (Hylon VII) dispersions were heated to temperatures of 140–165°C. The onset and rate of gel formation was observed using a small-strain oscillation rheometer as a function of temperature from 90 to 25°C. The gel formation clearly began earlier in high-amylose starch paste preheated at lower temperatures, but the rate...

Optimizing Ultrasonic Intensity for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Therapy

Thermography in High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation

Application of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in therapeutic medicine has started in the 1950s for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. With the development of medical diagnosis, such as ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), automatic control, imaging processing and electrical technology, extracorporeal and intrarectal HIFU systems have been developed for clinical ...
