The occluding structure may be used to remove kidney stones from the ureter in conjunction with lithotripsy and irrigation.RUPESH DESAIALEXANDER L. HUANG
Ultrasound methods for kidney stone imaging suffer from poor sensitivity and size overestimation. The study objective was to demonstrate feasibility of non-linear ultrasound beamforming methods for stone imaging, including plane wave synthetic focusing (PWSF), short-lag spatial coherence (SLSC) imaging...
Flexible Ureterorenoscopy versus Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for the treatment of upper/middle calyx kidney stones of 10-20?mm: a retrospective a... To compare the outcomes of flexible ureterorenoscopy (F-URS) with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for the treatment of upper...
This method has been applied in medical treatment such as orthopedics and crushing kidney stones [74, 75]. SWMT changes the permeability of cell membranes through acoustic cavitation resulting in the uptake of exogenous nucleic acid into cells. The method has been successfully used in introducing ...
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for removing a stone from a body includes providing a medical device comprising an elongate member and a retrieval assembly comprising a plurality of legs, a proximal end of each of the plurality of legs being connected to the elongate ...
It also causes to severe respiratory disorder, gastrointestinal, hematological, liver, kidney and reproductive damages (Maremeni, Modise, Mtunzi, Klink, and Pakade, 2018; Venkateswarlu, Ratnam, Rao, and Rao, 2007). The maximum permissible limit of Cr (VI) in potable water is 0.05 mg/L (...

Let us reconsider the kidney stones example. Performing a do-operations on the treatment variable consists of removing all the incoming links on the node T. Graphically, this is depicted in Figure 3. The causal effect of drug use can then be measured by comparing the intervention distributions ...
In preparation for valve resection, it may be beneficial to soften or break-up the calcification of the diseased valve. Concentrated ultrasound waves could be used to break-up the valve's calcification. A similar procedure is used to break down kidney stones in some patients. Calcification of ...
Moreover, the treatment of epilepsy is a long-term process, and this study did not examine the side effects of long-term administration of SSa, such as abnormal liver and kidney function, abnormal blood cells, abnormal heart rate, and drug resistance, which may lead to doubts of its ...
