Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common injuries among sports athletes. This caused by a tear in ligament which characterized knee instability and popping “pop” sound after injury. Reconstructing ACL usually done grafting disconnected tissue. Patients reconstruction experience symptoms complications such as pain, decreased joint range motion, muscle weakness. Purpose: ...

Antigen-specific DNA vaccine immunotherapy is an attractive approach for the treatment of cancer since it has the potency to specifically eradicate systemic tumors without damaging the normal cells. However, DNA vaccine shows insufficient immune response for antigen presenting cells and has minimal clinical efficacies. Cryoablation therapy is the therapeutic application of extreme cold for loca...

Abstract A 45-year-old man with a history of psoriasis presented to our male genital dermatology clinic several-year pruritic, painful, hyperkeratotic red–brown plaques on both buttocks. He had previously been treated unsuccessfully cryotherapy and topical imiquimod podophyllotoxin for suspected condyloma acuminata. 4-mm punch biopsy from the left buttock showed hyperkeratosis, hypergranulosis,...

PURPOSE Prostate adenocarcinoma is the most common noncutaneous malignancy in American men with over 200,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Prostate interventional therapy, such as cryotherapy and brachytherapy, is an effective treatment for prostate cancer. Its success relies on the correct needle implant position. This paper proposes a robust and efficient needle segmentation method, which ac...

OBJECTIVES Cryotherapy of the prostate represents a potential treatment for localized recurrent prostate cancer after radiation therapy. We report our experience and evaluate the predictive factors for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) recurrence. METHODS Between October 1994 and April 1999, 43 patients underwent salvage cryoablation. All patients had biopsy-proven recurrent prostate cancer wit...

Depending on initial prognostic factors, an estimated 10%-60% of men who undergo definitive radiation therapy for prostate cancer may experience a biochemical recurrence. Even though hormonal therapy is standard for metastatic recurrences, no consensus exists on optimal salvage therapy for those recurrences thought confined to the prostate. Salvage treatment options for these local recurrences ...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a single session of cold or thermoneutral water immersion after a one-off match on muscular dysfunction and damage in soccer players. Twenty-male soccer players completed one match and were randomly divided into cryotherapy (10 min cold water immersion, 10°C, n = 10) and thermoneutral (10 min thermoneutral water immersion, 35°C, n = 10) groups....
