4. Design of focused ultrasound surgery transducers

Author

Rivens, Ian H., Clarke, Robert L., and Ter Haar, Gail R.

Subjects
Ultrasonic transducers -- Research, Ultrasonics in surgery -- Research, Diagnosis, Noninvasive -- Equipment and supplies, Business, Electronics, Electronics and electrical industries
Abstract

A system uses a high-intensity focused ultrasound surgery transducer for extracorporeal treatment of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. The transducer operates at 1.7 MHz and has a 150 mm focal length. The focal length limits the operation to a maximum depth of 100 mm while power absorption in the skin limits it to a minimum depth of 40 mm. A study uses different transducers, at varying frequencies and focal lengths, to demonstrate that an appropriate design allows noninvasive treatment of tumors.

30. Treatment of Experimental Burns With Systemic Human Fibrinolysin

Author

DEYSINE, MAXIMO, CLARKE, ROBERT L., and CLIFTON, EUGENE E.

Abstract

THE biological challenge that an extensive full-thickness burn creates on a living organism varies with the different phases of its evolution.20 It has been well established that the interval from time of injury to the complete cover of the open wound by new skin is one of the key factors in the survival rate.20 The recovery correlates closely if it does not actually depend upon achieving a positive nitrogen balance.20 This balance becomes negative whenever there is a large open wound as with a large uncovered fullthickness burn resulting in a progressive loss of nitrogen which is reversed only by covering the wound with skin; failure to do so will result in chronic infection, progressive malnutrition, and general deterioration of the burned patient.20 When the nitrogen balance is severely altered, the wound may reject the new skin making the cover almost impossible.The separation between the
