It has been shown that muscle fascicle curvature increases with increasing contraction level and decreasing muscle-tendon complex length. The analyses were done with limited examination windows concerning contraction level, muscle-tendon complex length, and/or intramuscular position of ultrasound imaging. With this study we aimed to investigate the correlation between fascicle arching and contraction, muscle-tendon complex length and their associated architectural parameters in gastrocnemius muscles to develop hypotheses concerning the fundamental mechanism of fascicle curving...

Background. The pulse characteristics of arterial circulation might affect radial artery catheterization's success rate. Therefore, we hypothesized that the success rate of radial artery catheterization would be lower in the left-sided severe stenotic valvular lesion group than severe regurgitant valvular lesion group. Methods. This prospective study was conducted among patients with left-sided cardiac valvular lesions undergoing cardiac and non-cardiac surgery. The patients with left-sided severe valvular stenosis and left-sided severe valvular regurgitation were included in the study...

OBJECTIVE: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a recent, non-ionizing and non-invasive technology of focal destruction. Independence from the heat-sink effect of blood flow makes HIFU an interesting technique for focal ablation of liver tumors. Current available technology is based on extracorporeal treatment that limits use of HIFU for the treatment of liver tumors, as elementary ablations are small and must be juxtaposed to treat tumors, resulting in long-duration treatment...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) using strongly oxidizing radicals are promising for wastewater treatment and gas purification. Nevertheless, the short half-life of radicals and the limited mass transfer in traditional reactors cause under-utilization of radicals and low pollutant removal efficiency. High-gravity technology (HiGee)-enhanced AOPs (HiGee-AOPs) have been demonstrated a promising way to enhance radical utilization in a rotating packed bed reactor (RPB). Here, we review the potential mechanisms of intensified radical utilization in HiGee-AOPs, structures and performance of RPB, and applications of HiGee in AOPs...

Heart failure is a critical and ultimate phase of cardiovascular ailment that leads to a considerable incidence of disability and mortality. Among various factors contributing to heart failure, myocardial infarction is one of the most frequent and significant causes, which is still difficult to manage effectively. An innovative therapeutic strategy, namely a 3D bio-printed cardiac patch, has recently emerged as a promising approach to substitute damaged cardiomyocytes in a localized infarct region. Nevertheless, the efficacy of this treatment primarily relies on the long-term viability of the transplanted cells...

With the help of contrast enhanced ultrasound, the diagnostic accuracy of conventional sonography can be increased in many areas of otorhinolaryngology. Vascularisation and tissue perfusion can be objectified through the examination. This offers promising approaches for example to monitor the therapy of metastatic cervical lymph nodes or in the treatment of vascular malformations. Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) also offers great potential for differential diagnosis, for example of thyroid nodules. Valid threshold values for the quantitative time intensity curve (TIC) analysis of cervical pathologies are currently still not available...

BACKGROUND: Current methods for fetal surveillance during labor have significant limitations. Since continuous fetal cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) monitoring during labor may add valuable information about fetal well-being, we developed a new ultrasound system called VisiBeam. VisiBeam consists of a flat probe (diameter 11 mm) with a cylindric plane wave beam, a vacuum attachment (diameter 40 mm), a scanner, and a display. AIMS: To assess the feasibility of VisiBeam for continuous fetal CBFV monitoring during labor, and to study changes in CBFV during uterine contractions...
