This study validates that using the HAS and PBHE method can adequately predict temperature profiles from single sonications in homogeneous media. Further, it informs the need to accurately measure or predict patient-specific properties for improved treatment planning of ablative FUS surgeries.

Inducing intravesical hyperthermia of the ex-vivo porcine bladder wall: radiofrequency-induction versus recirculation using a custom-made device.
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate a slightly superior heating capacity for RF-HT compared to C-HT, whereas for the bladder dome, the reverse seems true. Comparative studies are warranted to evaluate whether HT efficacy differs between both techniques, with emphasis on tumor location.

An analysis of the survival impact of dexmedetomidine in children undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
CONCLUSION: In this retrospective study of children and adolescents who had undergone a major oncologic surgery, the intraoperative and/or early postoperative administration of dexmedetomidine was not associated with survival.

The effect of air pockets in the urinary bladder on the temperature distribution during loco-regional hyperthermia treatment of bladder cancer patients.
CONCLUSION: Presence of air causes more heterogeneous bladder wall temperatures and lower T90, particularly for larger air pockets. The size of air pockets must therefore be minimized during bladder hyperthermia treatments.

Differences in serum IL-6 response after 1 °C rise in core body temperature in individuals with spinal cord injury and cervical spinal cord injury during local heat stress.
CONCLUSIONS: Under a similar increase in core temperature, ΔIL-6% was lower in the CSCI group compared with the AB group. These findings suggest that the observed rise in IL-6 during hyperthermia is mediated, at least in part, by plasma adrenaline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive thermodestructive procedure targeting internal organs with concentrated sonification energy that may cause pain. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of epidural analgesia (EA) and monitored anesthesia care (MAC) in HIFU treatment of uterine adenomyosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-eight patients were included in this case-control study. Thirty-seven patients underwent MAC; 31 patients underwent fluoroscope-guided epidural analgesia. The primary outcome was a frequency of patients repo...

Whole body heat exposure modulates acute glucose metabolism.
Authors: Kimball AL, McCue PM, Petrie MA, Shields RK
Abstract
AIM: Exercise modulates glucose tolerance and homeostasis in both healthy and diabetic individuals. Heat stress is a fundamental element of exercise. The acute glycemic response and alterations in glucose clearance following whole body passive heat stress in the absence of muscle activity has yet to be examined in humans. Knowledge of this relationship may prove useful, particularly in populations with compromised glucoregulation from reduced activity.
PURPOSE: To determine insulin/glucose levels before and after an acute bout of heat stress in healt...

A three-dimensional transient computational study of 532-nm laser thermal ablation in a geometrical model representing prostate tissue.
CONCLUSIONS: Laser thermal tissue ablation employing continuous wave mode lasers outperforms that employing pulsed mode lasers. Laser power settings should be carefully selected to maximize the rate of tissue ablation and minimize tissue coagulation.

Changes in serum thyroglobulin and antithyroglobulin shortly following high-intensity focused ablation of benign thyroid nodules in patients with positive antithyroglobulin status.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the fact that the percentage anti-Tg drop correlated significantly with 6-month nodule shrinkage in group I, monitoring early anti-Tg change may help to predict the 6-month nodule shrinkage in patients with positive anti-Tg.

A molecular dynamics approach towards evaluating osmotic and thermal stress in the extracellular environment.
CONCLUSION: Results quantify multiple measures of structural changes as a function of temperature increase and addition of NaCl to the solution. Correlations between cell viability and stability measures suggest that protein aggregates, non-functional proteins, and less favorable cell attachment conditions have a role in TCA-induced cell stress.

Numerical analysis of thermal response of tissues subjected to high intensity focused ultrasound.
Authors: Gupta P, Srivastava A
Abstract
The present work is concerned with the numerical investigation of the thermal response of tissue-mimicking biological phantom(s) subjected to high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Simulations have been performed on the 3-dimensional physical domain for two-layered as well as multi-layered medium consisting of water and liver tissue. Local pressure distribution within the body of the phantom has been calculated by solving the complete full-wave nonlinear form of Westervelt equation. The solution of the pressure wave equation has been coupled with Pennes bioheat transfer eq...

Post-sauna recovery enhances brain neural network relaxation and improves cognitive economy in oddball tasks.
CONCLUSION: Post-sauna recovery to normothermia led to enhanced resting neural network relaxation followed by increases in cognitive processing economy for the given oddball tasks. The auditory processing was not affected more by post-sauna recovery than was visual processing. Post-sauna recovery modifications in ERP components (stimulus processing) were insufficient to affect cognitive performance in both visual and auditory task modalities.

Local recurrence of brain metastasis reduced by intra-operative hyperthermia treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Results of this study suggest that intra-operative hyperthermia treatment after total resection of metastatic brain tumor could reduce local recurrence of tumor. We believe that intra-operative hyperthermia treatment could be used as an adjuvant therapy to surgery and post-operative radiotherapy, or as a salvage treatment in patients who cannot receive further radiotherapy.

Innate/inflammatory bioregulation and clinical effectiveness of whole-body hyperthermia (balneotherapy) in elderly patients with osteoarthritis.
CONCLUSIONS: Balneotherapy with mud application was effective in the management of osteoarthritis symptoms. The anti-inflammatory effect mediated by cytokines contributed to the improvement in pain and joint function; and changes in the circulating percentage of regulatory T cells seem to be involved in the anti-inflammatory effects. Improvement in neutrophil function after mud therapy reflects an optimal bioregulatory effect on the inflammatory and innate responses.

Ultrasound-guided laser ablation for local control of neck recurrences of medullary thyroid cancer. A feasibility study.
CONCLUSIONS: LA is a promising tool for the management of relapsing cervical metastases that are localized in non- critical areas and are characterized by low progression rate. Advantages of LA are the outpatient setting, the absence of general anesthesia, the tolerability and the safety of the procedure. Thus, LA may be considered as an alternative approach to surgery or active surveillance for the management of local recurrences of MTC in selected patients.
