Time-multiplexed two-channel capacitive radiofrequency hyperthermia with nanoparticle mediation.
BACKGROUND Capacitive radiofrequency (RF) hyperthermia suffers from excessive temperature rise near the electrodes and poorly localized heat transfer to the deep-seated tumor region even though it is known to have potential to cure ill-conditioned tumors. To better localize heat transfer to the deep-seated target region in which electrical conductivity is elevated by nanoparticle mediation, two...
متن کاملDeep seated Candidiasis
Candida pneumonia is classified as primary when there is no other hematogenous manifestation of candidiasis. The infection is rare and usually is the result of aspiration. Secondary candida pneumonia, the most frequent presentation, is associated with hematogenous candidiasis. Among cancer patients, only 9% of pulmonary candidiasis cases were considered primary. Cardiovascular infections caused...
متن کاملFiber Optics for Thermometry in Hyperthermia Therapy
A review of electromagnetic hyperthermia ablative therapies, a temperature measurements during microwave ablation using optical fiber temperature sensors and a fiber optic temperature sensor developed for a hyperthermia laboratory are summarized in this chapter. Hyperthermia also called thermotherapy or thermal therapy is a type of cancer treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temper...
متن کاملSingle radiofrequency source for MR and hyperthermia studies
Hyperthermia is an experimental/adjuvant therapeutic modality for cancer. Combining hyperthermia with the non-invasive metabolic studies using magnetic resonance (MR) is an interesting area of research and can provide useful information. In this paper, feasibility of using the same radio frequency source for carrying out combined hyperthermia and MR studies is demonstrated. A conventional RF hy...
متن کاملCapacitive Effect to Treat Tumors – First Studies
The aim of this paper is to indicate the Electrostatic Treatment – EST (capacitive effect) as a cancer therapy and the studies that were be done by our research group using Electromagnetic Field Theory to explain the effects over the tumors. EST is a original, not expensive and non invasive cancer therapy which consists in to apply on a tumor continuos (dc) voltage (up to 3,000 V) across two el...
