Thermal Processing of Biological Tissue at High Temperatures: Impact of Protein Denaturation and Water Loss on the Thermal Properties of Human and Porcine Liver in the Range 25–80 آ°C
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biothermal engineering applications impose thermal excursions on tissues with an ensuing biological outcome (i.e., life or death) that is tied to the molecular state of water and protein in the system. The accuracy of heat ...
Methods for Characterizing Convective Cryoprobe Heat Transfer in Ultrasound Gel Phantoms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While cryosurgery has proven capable in treating of a variety of conditions, it has met with some resistance among physicians, in part due to shortcomings in the ability to predict treatment outcomes. Here we attempt to ...
Thermal Conductivity Measurements of Thin Biological Tissues Using a Microfabricated 3 Omega Sensor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
The Role of Protein Loss and Denaturation in Determining Outcomes of Heating, Cryotherapy, and Irreversible Electroporation on Cardiomyocytes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) currently affects millions of people in the U.S. alone. Focal therapy is an increasingly attractive treatment for AF that avoids the debilitating effects of drugs for disease control. Perhaps the ...
