Abstract

In this study, we investigated the use of MRI-derived thermal imaging for determining the exposure parameters for focused ultrasound (FUS) surgery. Since the temperature rise induced by a FUS beam scales linearly with power, the temperature maps acquired during subthreshold sonications can be used to determine the power necessary to produce thermal tissue damage with a desired size. Thermal images acquired during multiple sonications delivered at different locations in rabbit thigh muscle and brain tissue in vivo were analyzed to test this hypothesis. First, the linearity of the induced temperature rise with the acoustic power was tested. Next, the temperature maps acquired during preliminary low power sonications were scaled up until the estimated size of the tissue damage was equal to the tissue damage size of subsequent high power sonications. A threshold thermal dose was used to estimate the onset of thermal damage. The predicted power (based on amount of scaling required to reach the target size) was then compared to the true high power value. Overall, the temperature rise varied linearly with power (slope of deltaThigh/deltaTlow vs Power(high)/Power(low) = 0.97, 0.93 for pairs of sonications at each location in brain, mus...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
