Evaluating the effect of glycerol on increasing the safety and efficiency of hyperthermic laser lipolysis.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of glycerol as an Optical Clearing Agent on the temperature profile of the skin during HyperThermic Laser Lipolysis using computer simulation. In this study, a three-layer model of the skin was used to simulate HyperThermic Laser Lipolysis. The Monte Carlo MCML code was used to investigate the propagation of laser photons inside skin tissue.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging at 1.5 T for peripheral zone prostate cancer: the influence of the -value combination on the diagnostic performance of apparent diffusion coefficient.

Purpose: Diffusion-weighted imaging as a noninvasive functional modality plays a valuable role in the evaluation of prostate cancer. However, there is still no agreement on the number and range of -values to be used. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of -value choice on the diagnostic performance of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values for prostate cancer detection.

Plasmonic hyperthermia or radiofrequency electric field hyperthermia of cancerous cells through green-synthesized curcumin-coated gold nanoparticles.

Nanoparticle-mediated hyperthermia is one of the prominent adjuvant therapies which has been faced by many problematic challenges such as efficiency and safety. To compare the nanoparticle-mediated photothermal therapy and radiofrequency electric field hyperthermia, green-synthesized curcumin-coated gold nanoparticles (Cur@AuNPs) were applied in an in vitro study. Using recently published methodologies, each step of the study was performed.
