Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) holds great potential as a tool to alter neural
circuits non-invasively in both animals and humans. In contrast to established non-invasive …

The coupling of waves between the piezoelectric generators, detectors, and propagating
media is challenging due to mismatch in the acoustic properties. The mismatch leads to the …

Neural implants have emerged over the last decade as highly effective solutions for the
treatment of dysfunctions and disorders of the nervous system. These implants establish a …

Drug delivery for tumor theranostics involves the extensive use of the enhanced permeability
and retention (EPR) effect. Previously, various types of nanomedicines have been …

Polysaccharide-based nanocarriers (PBNs) are the focus of extensive investigation because
of their biocompatibility, low cost, wide availability, and chemical versatility, which allow a …

Almost 2 decades ago, it was pointed out that physical therapists tended to overlook the
tenuous nature of the scientific basis for the use of therapeutic ultrasound. The purpose of …

Ultrasound has an ever-increasing role in the delivery of therapeutic agents, including
genetic material, protein and chemotherapeutic agents. Cavitating gas bodies, such as …

Modern sophisticated ultrasonographic equipment is capable of delivering substantial levels
of acoustic energy into the body when used at maximum outputs. The risk of producing …

In the 1920s, the availability of piezoelectric materials and electronic devices made it
possible to produce ultrasound (US) in water at high amplitudes, so that it could be detected …
