An Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Phase Change Electrodes for Therapeutic Irreversible Electroporation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a new technology for ablating aberrant tissue that utilizes pulsed electric fields (PEFs) to kill cells by destabilizing their plasma membrane. When treatments are planned correctly, ...
Influence of Hyperthermia on Efficacy and Uptake of Carbon Nanohorn Cisplatin Conjugates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Singlewalled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) have significant potential for use in photothermal therapies due to their capability to absorb near infrared light and deposit heat. Additionally, their extensive relative surface area ...
