RISAnalysis of Thermal Stress in Cryosurgery of Kidneys
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the thermal stress distribution in cryosurgery of kidney was investigated using a multiphysics finite element model developed in ANSYS (V8.1). The thermal portion of the model ...
Thermodynamic Nonequilibrium Phase Change Behavior and Thermal Properties of Biological Solutions for Cryobiology Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding the phase change behavior of biomaterials during freezing/thawing including their thermal properties at low temperatures is essential to design and improve cryobiology applications ...
Cryosurgery of Normal and Tumor Tissue in the Dorsal Skin Flap Chamber: Part II—Injury Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It has been hypothesized that vascular injury may be an important mechanism of cryosurgical destruction in addition to direct cellular destruction. In this study, we report correlation of tissue ...
Cryosurgery of Normal and Tumor Tissue in the Dorsal Skin Flap Chamber: Part I—Thermal Response
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current research in cryosurgery is concerned with finding a thermal history that will definitively destroy tissue. In this study, we measured and predicted the thermal history obtained during ...
Thermal Therapy in Urologic Systems: A Comparison of Arrhenius and Thermal Isoeffective Dose Models in Predicting Hyperthermic Injury
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Arrhenius and thermal isoeffective dose (TID) models are the two most commonly used models for predicting hyperthermic injury. The TID model is essentially derived from the Arrhenius model, ...
Frontiers in Biotransport: Water Transport and Hydration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biotransport, by its nature, is concerned with the motions of molecules in biological systems while water remains as the most important and the most commonly studied molecule across all ...
KTP High Power Laser-Tissue Interactions: In Vitro Experiment and Simulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common disorders and the most common cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in elderly men. Transurethral resection of the prostate ...
Supraphysiological Thermal Injury in Dunning AT-1 Prostate Tumor Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To investigate the potential application of thermal therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer, the effects of supraphysiological temperatures (40–70°C) for clinically relevant time periods ...
Development of an Endocardial Cryoablation Catheter for Concomitant Delivery of Cryogenic Treatment and Adjuvants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the preliminary development of a novel cryoablation catheter for the delivery of cryo-energy and complimentary pharmacological agents selected to improve lesion formation. The ...
Adjuvant Approaches to Enhance Cryosurgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Molecular adjuvants can be used to enhance the natural destructive mechanisms of freezing within tissue. This review discusses their use in the growing field of combinatorial or adjuvant enhanced ...
