Article Synopsis
- Research is focused on finding safe alternatives for treating deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to risks from traditional anticoagulants and thrombolytics.
- Sonothrombolysis, which uses microbubbles and ultrasound along with thrombolytic agents, is being investigated to enhance the breakdown of blood clots.
- In a study with mice, sonothrombolysis significantly reduced DVT volume from 52% to 20% after therapy, indicating its potential effectiveness in treating venous thromboembolism.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a life-threatening condition that can lead to its sequelae pulmonary embolism (PE) or post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Murine models of DVT are frequently used in early-stage disease research and to assess potential therapies. This creates the need for the reliable and easy quantification of blood clots.

The purpose of this study is to examine the incidence of hard voice onset in patients with LPR and the effects of hard voice onset on objective voice function in patients with LPR.
Methods: Forty patients with confirmed LPR were enrolled in the LPR group, and 40 healthy subjects were enrolled in the non-LPR group.
