Low intensity ultrasound effects over osteopenic female rats bones

Effects of Low-Intensity Continuous Ultrasound on Hematological Parameters of Rats

Background:Low intensity ultrasound (US) has some well-known bio-effects which are of great importance to be considered.Objectives: We conducted the present study to investigate the effects of low intensity continuous ultrasound on blood cells count in rat.Methods: Rats were anesthetized and blood samples were collected before US exposure. Then, they were exposed to US with nominal intensity of...

Effects of swimming associated with risedronate in osteopenic bones: An experimental study with ovariectomized rats.

Physical activity and risedronate sodium have effects on metabolic bone diseases, maintaining the integrity of bone tissue. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of swimming associated with risedronate as a prophylactic means in osteopenic bone of ovariectomized rats. A total of 24 animals of the Wistar strain were used and separated into four groups containing six animals: Ovariectomy (OVX...

LOW INTENSITY PULSED ULTRASOUND TREATMENT INCREASES RABBIT RADIAL FRACTURE HEALING

In order to study the effect of ultrasound (US) on bone healing, a complete transverse fracture was made in the right radius of adult male rabbits by a cutter. 52 rabbits were used: group I. control (n= 17): group 2. test (n:=: 15): group 3, intact (n= I) and group 4 (n= 12) who were examined only for evaluation of the cutter effects in detail. 7 animals were operated with a Gigli saw.
