Thermotherapy is the application of heat as a relief for pain and discomfort. That because stimulates sensory receptors in an isolated section body decreasing transmission signals to brain. This study presents heating e-textile belt provide needed temperatures thermotherapy using conductive thread elements. Bekinox 50/1 (BK 50/1) provided by Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) were tes...

Purpose: W e evaluated the impact of lower energy transurethral microwave thermotherapy on quality of life and quality of sexual function in patients w ith benign prostatic hyperplasia (B PH ). M aterials and Methods: A total of 50 patients with BPH were randomized to receive either lower energy transurethral microwave thermotherapy treatment (Prostasoft 2.0)* or placebo treatment and followed ...

bean yellow mosaic virus (bymv, potyvirus, potyviridae) causes serious disease in gladiolus spp. in this work, the possibility of obtaining bymv free plant material from virus infected gladiolus corms was studied. thermotherapy, meristem-tip culture and combination of both techniques on infected corms/meristem-tip explants (0.5–1 mm in length) resulted in bymv elimination up to 15.38, 78.04 and...

BACKGROUND Pentavalent antimonials (Sb5) and miltefosine are the first-line drugs for treating cutaneous leishmaniasis in Colombia; however, toxicity and treatment duration negatively impact compliance and cost, justifying an active search for better therapeutic options. We compared the efficacy and safety of thermotherapy and meglumine antimoniate for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis i...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>The Jordan–Moore–Gibson–Thompson (JMGT) equation is a well-established and recently widely studied model for nonlinear acoustics (NLA). It third–order (in time) semilinear Partial Differential Equation (PDE) with distinctive feature of predicting the propagation ultrasound waves at <i>finite</i> speed. This due to heat phenomenon known as <i>...

Background: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a new treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization which needs further evaluation. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy on regression of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with or without pigment epithelial detachment in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Methods: In a case serie...

Over the past decades, thermoablative techniques for the therapy of localized tumors have gained importance in the treatment of patients not eligible for surgical resection. Anecdotal reports have described spontaneous distant tumor regression after thermal ablation, indicating a possible involvement of the immune system, hence an induction of antitumor immunity after thermoinduced therapy. In ...
