Pregnancy outcomes of adenomyotic patients with primary infertility after high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment
CONCLUSIONS: HIFU treatment for adenomyosis could improve fertility of patients with primary infertility. HIFU is a promising therapeutic approach for patients with adenomyosis and infertility who wish to achieve pregnancy and have live birth deliveries.PMID:37903541 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2023.2264547 (Source: International Journal of Hyperthermia)

Aberration correction in abdominal histotripsy
Int J Hyperthermia. 2023;40(1):2266594. doi: 10.1080/02656736.2023.2266594. Epub 2023 Oct 9.ABSTRACTIn transabdominal histotripsy, ultrasound pulses are focused on the body to noninvasively destroy soft tissues via cavitation. However, the ability to focus is limited by phase aberration, or decorrelation of the ultrasound pulses due to spatial variation in the speed of sound throughout heterogeneous tissue. Phase aberration shifts, broadens, and weakens the focus, thereby reducing the safety and efficacy of histotripsy therapy. This paper reviews and discusses aberration effects in histotripsy and in related therapeutic ul...

The use of histotripsy as intratumoral immunotherapy beyond tissue ablation-the rationale for exploring the immune effects of histotripsy
Int J Hyperthermia. 2023;40(1):2263672. doi: 10.1080/02656736.2023.2263672. Epub 2023 Oct 8.ABSTRACTMechanical high-intensity focused ultrasound (M-HIFU), which includes histotripsy, is a non-ionizing, non-thermal ablation technology that can be delivered by noninvasive methods. Because acoustic cavitation is the primary mechanism of tissue disruption, histotripsy is distinct from the conventional HIFU techniques resulting in hyperthermia and thermal injury. Phase I human trials have shown the initial safety and efficacy of histotripsy in treating patients with malignant liver tumors. In addition to tissue ablation, a prom...
