Understanding the aliya pulsed electric field dose-response relationship: Implications for ablation size, thermal load, and immune response in an orthotopic murine breast cancer model.

Aliya®Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) technology is an emerging strategy in the field of cancer treatment, offering a novel approach to ablation therapy that does not rely on thermal mechanisms. By employing a multi-stage experimental setup, including potato tuber, porcine liver, and murine breast cancer models, we explored the dose-response relationship on ablation and immune modulation by varying the pulse packets delivered from 20 to 100. The biologic response observed with 60 packets represented a minimum effective dose yielding reproducible ablation parameters, immune response, and efficacy which could be augmented with immune checkpoint blockade.

Intraocular Lens Unfurling Time Exponentially Decays with Increased Solution Temperature.

Purpose: Intraocular lens (IOL) unfurling can be a rate-limiting step in cataract surgery, limiting operative efficiency. Furthermore, inefficient unfurling has important implications for clinical outcomes. We examine the effects of solution temperature on IOL unfurling time using three in vitro models of the ocular environment.
