Article Synopsis
- AA amyloidosis (AAA) is a serious multisystem disease stemming from chronic inflammation, commonly affecting the kidneys and posing risks during pregnancy.
- A study reviewed cases of AAA in pregnant women, identifying three new patients and highlighting that familial Mediterranean fever was the leading cause of AAA in this group.
- The research found that pregnancies in AAA patients often led to complications like growth retardation and preterm birth, indicating the need for heightened medical monitoring during pregnancy.
Objectives: Monitoring cavitation during ultrasound therapy is crucial for assessing the procedure safety and efficacy. This work aims to develop a self-sensing and low-complexity approach for robust cavitation detection in moving organs such as the heart.
Methods: An analog-to-digital converter was connected onto one channel of the therapeutic transducer from a clinical system dedicated to cardiac therapy, allowing to record signals on a computer.
