Nanoparticle preconditioning for enhanced thermal therapies in cancer.
… In this work, we used an in vivo model system of cryosurgery of human prostate cancer (LNCaP Pro 5) grown in nude male mice. We show that 4 hour pre-treatment with our nanoparticle system leads to a dramatic reduction in tumor blood perfusion with a simultaneous increase in tumor vascular …

A Histological Study of the Effects of Controlled Freezing on Human Gingival Tissue
… CRYO-derives from the Greek KRYMOS (icy cold). Cryosurgery, or the clinical use of freezing procedures, is distinct from the cold applications used to reduce fever or swelling and to alleviate pain. It also differs from the moderate reduction in temperature effected by hypothermia or …

Laboratory investigation of the cryosurgical lesion
Cryosurgery denotes the therapeutic ablation of tissues by cold. Its use was first described by Arnott in 1851 for the treatment of carcinoma of the cervix, but never attained clinical prominence due to lack of a simple controlled means of applying cold to tissues. The introduction, 100 years after …

NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTGIATION OF CRYO-FREEZING WITH LARGE BLOOD VESSELS
Cryosurgery is accepted as a favorable treatment option for eradicating undesirable cancerous tissue due to its minimally invasive nature. A finite difference study of a biological liver tissue undergoing cryo-freezing using the immersed boundary method (IBM) is presented in this study. The liver …

Real-time Temperature Imaging Using Ultrasonic Change in Backscattered Energy
<p>Thermal therapy from low-temperature cryosurgery to high-temperature ablation of tumors and unwanted electrical pathways has gained increased attention. Temperature imaging (TI) from magnetic resonance studies is the de facto standard for volumetric estimation of temperature. Ultrasound has the …

Freezing-induced deformation of biomaterials in cryomedicine
… of successful tissue cryopreservation and cryosurgery procedures. An engineering approach based on a view of biological systems as functional biomaterials can help identify, predict and control the primary cryodamage mechanisms by developing an understanding of underlying freezing-induced …

Disbudding of dairy goat kids: Refining protocols to reduce or eliminate pain
The aim of this thesis was to investigate potential improvements for disbudding dairy goat kids to eliminate or reduce pain. Behavioural and physiological measures were used to evaluate: (1) pain associated with four disbudding methods, and (2) the effect of pain mitigation on cautery disbudded …
