Thermal therapies treat tumors by means of heat, greatly reducing pain, post-operation
complications, and cost as compared to traditional methods. Yet, effective tools to avoid …

Thermal therapy is a minimally invasive technique with great potential for treating tumors in
non-surgical candidates. Minimally invasive procedures reduce post-operation …

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is minimally invasive thermotherapy, where a heating source
is used to target and kill malignant cells in a tissue. While RFA has tremendous potential in …

In this work, we devised the first characterization of the optical and thermal properties of ex
vivo cardiac tissue as a function of different selected temperatures, ranging from room …

Treatment-induced apoptosis of cancer cells is one goal of cancer therapy. Interestingly,
more heat is generated by mitochondria during apoptosis, especially the uncoupled …

Accurate monitoring of treatment is crucial in minimally-invasive radiofrequency ablation in
oncology and cardiovascular disease. We investigated alterations in optical properties of ex …

Complete ablation of liver tumors is vital for minimizing the risk of local tumor recurrence.
Accurately identifying the hallmarks of tissue necrosis during thermal ablative therapies may …

The time-temperature effects of laser radiation exposure are investigated as a function of
wavelength. Here, we report the thermal response of bulk tissue as a function of wavelength …

Heatstroke, a form of hyperthermia, is a life-threatening condition characterized by an
elevated core body temperature that rises above 40° C (104° F) and central nervous system …

Heat stress (HS) is a medical emergency defined by abnormally elevated body temperature
that causes biochemical, physiological, and hematological changes. The goal of the present …
