Histotripsy is the first noninvasive, non-ionizing, and non-thermal ablation technology
guided by real-time imaging. Using focused ultrasound delivered from outside the body …

Biofilms are aggregates formed as a protective survival state by microorganisms to adapt to
the environment and can be resistant to antimicrobial agents and host immune responses …

Since its inception about two decades ago, histotripsy–a non-thermal mechanical tissue
ablation technique–has evolved into a spectrum of methods, each with distinct potentiating …

The destructive growth and collapse of cavitation bubbles are used for therapeutic purposes
in focused ultrasound procedures and can contribute to tissue damage in traumatic injuries …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to communicate two new concepts with the potential to
cause major morbidity in hernia repair, effective porosity and biofilm. These 2 concepts are …

Frequency-dependent effective sensitive element radius is a key parameter for elucidating
physical mechanisms of hydrophone operation. In addition, it is essential to know to correct …

Urinary catheters often become contaminated with biofilms, resulting in catheter-associated
urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) that adversely affect patient outcomes. Histotripsy is a …

Objective. This paper is an initial work towards developing particle-mediated histotripsy
(PMH) as a novel method of treating catheter-based medical device (CBMD) intraluminal …

Background The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of hematoporphyrin
monomethyl ether (HMME)-mediated low-frequency and low-intensity ultrasound on mature …

Histotripsy is a noninvasive medical technique that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound
(HIFU) to treat liver tumours. The two main histotripsy methods are boiling histotripsy and …
