An overview of therapeutic applications of ultrasound based on synergetic effects with gold nanoparticles and laser excitation
Acoustic cavitation which occurs at high intensities of ultrasound waves can be fatal for tumor cells. The existence of dissolved gases and also the presence of nanoparticles (NPs) in a liquid, irradiated by ultrasound, decrease the acoustic cavitation onset threshold and the resulting bubbles collapse. On the other hand, due to unique capabilities and optical properties of gold nanoparticles (...

Introduction: Spinal cord injury is one of the important unresolved problems in the medical society leading to adverse consequences, such as motionlessness and neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is seen in both forms of hyperalgesia and allodynia. In this study, the effects of low-level laser radiation on hyperalgesia pain have been investigated. Material & Methods: In this experimental stu...
متن کاملThe Importance of absorbed dose in medical applications
Radiation damage depends on energy absorption, and is approximately proportional to the absorbed energy density in the tissue. In external radiation consideration with a certain energy flux, the amount of absorbed dose in each point of the tissue depends on the type of radiation, the radiation energy, the depth of the place of receipt, and the main components of the absorber environment. The ab...
