Abstract: The heating pattern of a transurethral radio frequency (RF) applicator and its induced steady-state temperature field in the prostate during transurethral hyperthermia treatment were investigated ...

Abstract: Cellular uptake kinetics of nanoparticles is one of the key issues determining the design and application of the particles. Models describing nanoparticles intrusion into the cell mostly take ...

Abstract: Tumor microvascular damage caused by the alternate cooling and heating treatment was found much more severe than that of cooling or heating alone from our previous experimental studies. The ...

Abstract: Thermal therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia requires accurate prediction of the temperature distribution induced by the heating within the prostatic tissue. In this study, the Pennes bioheat ...

Abstract: In this study, a new theoretical framework was developed to investigate temperature variations along countercurrent SAV blood vessels from 300 to 1000 μm diameter in skeletal muscle. Vessels of ...

Abstract: A bioheat-transfer-based numerical model was utilized to study the energy balance in healthy and malignant breasts subjected to forced convection in a wind tunnel. Steady-state temperature ...

Abstract: The efficacy of cancer chemotherapy can be greatly enhanced by thermally targeted nanoparticle liposome drug delivery system. A new theoretical model coupling heat and mass transfer has been ...

Abstract: A comprehensive computational framework to simulate heat transfer during the freezing process in prostate cancer cryosurgery is presented. Tissues are treated as nonideal materials wherein phase ...

Abstract: Gold nanoparticles have been found to greatly enhance the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) specificity and yield in recent studies. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear, though ...
