The effects of microwave induced hyperthermia, papaverine, and chemotherapy were evaluated in transplanted CI300 murine neuroblastoma. One hundred forty-five Ajax mice received axillary subcutaneous implants of CI300 round cell neuroblastoma (1.25 X 10(6) cells). Animals were divided into 8
We compared the ability of continuous-wave ultrasound to enhance cytotoxicity from X irradiation, hyperthermia or exposure to adriamycin. The survival of CHO cells exposed in culture medium to these agents was determined with and without continuous-wave ultrasound (1.62 or 1.765 MHz). In
The aim of the present study was to investigate the response of erythrocytes to hyperthermia in combined treatment with nitroimidazoles. The efficiency of nitroimidazoles and physical agents on the rheological response of erythrocytes was measured by the viscosimetric-diffractometric method in a
It is known that there are large temperature elevations in proximity to air bubbles during US (ultrasound) heating. The existence of tiny air bubbles in the target tissue may enhance the temperature elevation in US hyperthermia. To examine this hypothesis, phantom tissue experiments using an US
A number of reports suggest that hyperthermia is an effective adjunctive treatment modality in management of neural crest tumors. Recent studies have demonstrated a synergistic effect of induced hyperthermia when coupled with chloroquine in an in vitro model. This study examines the effect of
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to determine the relative efficacy in preventing tumor recurrence by photodynamic therapy (PDT), and by ablative CO2 laser surgery followed by PDT, compared to ablative surgery alone (negative control) or ablative surgery followed by a course of hyperthermia
The therapeutic effects of photodynamic therapy and hyperthermia on mice bearing subcutaneous tumors were investigated. Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (1 x 10(7)) were implanted subcutaneously into the femoral area of BALB/c mice. A total of 134 tumor-bearing mice were treated with photodynamic
Our study concerns 42 patients with chest wall recurrences from breast cancer: 17 Stage 1 (less than 4 cm in diameter), 11 Stage 2 (more than 4 cm), seven Stage 3 (skin ulceration whatever tumor size), and seven Stage 4 (neoplastic lymphangitis and/or skin nodules covering chest wall beyond
Thermography-controlled, water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA) is a novel, effective and approved heating technique listed in the ESHO quality assurance guidelines for superficial hyperthermia clinical trials (2017). In order to assess the special features and the potential of wIRA-hyperthermia
Tumor size is a significant prognostic variable for attaining complete regression (CR) with local hyperthermia (HT) and radiation therapy (RT). The addition of weekly chemotherapy was evaluated to improve the efficacy of thermoradiotherapy in poor-prognosis lesions (i.e. > or = 7 cm2 or > or = 14
The effects of in vivo ultrasound irradiation of the spleen on immunological functions were assessed with an in vitro natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxic assay. Anesthetized hamsters were exposed to 1 MHz ultrasound at intensity levels currently being used clinically for therapeutic diathermy and
The control of Radiofrequency (RF) radiation (including microwave radiation) that is emitted by therapeutic medical devices is the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Bureau of Radiological Health (BRH). Several studies of RF emissions from various shortwave (27 MHz) and
The effects of hyperthermia, alone and in conjunction with microwave exposure, on brain energetics were studied in anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. The effect of temperature on adenosine triphosphate concentration [ATP] and creatine phosphate concentration [CP] was determined in the brains of
The interaction of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and hyperthermia is not well understood. In the present study, significant enhancement of tumor damage was observed after simultaneous application of ALA-PDT and IR-induced hyperthermia using a broad-band incoherent light
An isospherical array of ultrasonic transducers designed for hyperthermia treatment of malignant tumors in humans was employed in studies of transient cavitation in tissues during ultrasonic heating. Both in vitro and in vivo studies revealed the presence of transient cavitation within tissues
