fever/dental caries

This paper discusses the heating properties of a new type hyperthermia system composed of a re-entrant type resonant cavity applicator for a deep tumor of the abdominal region. In this heating method, a human body is placed between the two inner electrodes, and is heated with electromagnetic fields

This paper discusses new methods to control the heating pattern of the prototype resonant cavity applicator for deep tumor hyperthermia treatment. We have already confirmed the effectiveness of the developed heating system with experiments using agar phantoms and computer simulations. Here, the

A re-entrant type resonant cavity applicator for brain tumor hyperthermia treatment is presented. In this method, a human brain is placed between the gap of the inner re-entrant cylinders without contact. This cavity has a window for insertion of the human head. Here, first, to design and construct

While visiting Malaysia, a 22-year-old previously healthy Japanese man developed myalgia, headache, and fever, leading to a diagnosis of classical dengue fever. After improvement and returning to Japan after a five day hospitalization, he developed productive cough several days after defervescing

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of proteins that are rapidly induced in response to physiological stress, including hyperthermia and exposure to toxicants. Thus they may provide a useful index of toxicity in in vitro systems for screening for toxicity. We have recently developed a rat nasal

To determine whether dental caries, as an indicator of cumulative exposure to sugar, is associated with the incidence of acute rheumatic fever and chronic rheumatic heart disease, in Māori and Pacific children aged 5 and 6 years at their first dental visit. A cohort study was undertaken which linked

A re-entrant type resonant cavity applicator for brain tumor hyperthermia treatment is presented. In this method, a human head is placed between the gap of the inner re-entrant cylinders, and is heated with electromagnetic fields stimulated in the cavity without contact between the surface of the

In this paper, we discuss the improvement of the speed of AIMS (Automatic Impedance Matching System) to automatically make impedance matching for a re-entrant resonant cavity applicator for non-invasive deep brain tumors hyperthermia treatments. We have already discussed the effectiveness of the

A re-entrant type resonant cavity applicator for deep tumor hyperthermia treatment was presented. In this method, a human body is placed between the gap of the inner re-entrant cylinders, and is heated with electromagnetic fields stimulated in the cavity without contact between the surface of the

A re-entrant resonant cavity applicator system for non-invasive brain tumor hyperthermia treatments was presented. We have already confirmed the effectiveness of the heating properties of this heating system with cylindrical agar phantoms and with computer simulations.

The purpose of this study was to optimize the treatment of cancers restricted to the peritoneal cavity by combining i.p. chemotherapy with abdominal hyperthermia. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the uptake of carboplatin into CC531 tumor cells was increased at temperatures higher than 41.5

In this study, small (outside diameter 1 mm) cylindrical ultrasound sources were investigated for induction of hyperthermia in tumours. These ultrasound transducers could be placed in small-diameter body cavities, or they could be used interstitially in brachytherapy catheters. The ultrasound field

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have reported synergistic effects of combined hyperthermia and chemotherapy and/or irradiation. The response to irradiation and chemotherapy of well-oxygenated and vascularized tumors generally is better than that of hypoxic tumors. Therefore, tumor oxygenation is

The adjuvant effect of high-frequency hyperthermia of the abdominal cavity was studied in 2-month-old mice of highly leukemic AKR strain treated with cyclophosphamide. Weights of organs, parameters of the peripheral blood, and cytological imprints of organs were compared in experimental and control

In this paper, we discuss a new system to make impedance matching automatically for a re-entrant resonant cavity applicator for brain tumor hyperthermia treatment non-invasively. We have already discussed about the effectiveness of the heating method using manual type impedance matching controller,
