Focused ultrasound (FUS) combined with intravascularly circulating microbubbles can
transiently increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to enable targeted …

Ultrasound technology, synergistically harnessed with genetic engineering and chemistry
concepts, has started to open the gateway to the remarkable realm of sonogenetics—a …

Liquid viscosity has a potential effect on bubble dynamics. This paper is concerned with
bubble dynamics in a compressible viscous liquid near the free surface. The liquid–gas flow …

Ultrasound-driven microbubbles, typically between 1 and 8 µm in diameter, are resonant
scatterers that are employed as diagnostic contrast agents and emerging as potentiators of …

Gas bubbles present in liquids underpin many natural phenomena and human-developed
technologies that improve the quality of life. Since all living organisms are predominantly …

Objective: Nanoscale ultrasound contrast agents show promise as alternatives for
diagnostics and therapies due to their enhanced stability and ability to traverse blood …

Background. Limited studies and observations conducted on a too small number of patients
prevent determining the actual clinical utility of pulmonary contrast-enhanced ultrasound …

The concept of personalized medicine refers to the tailoring of medical treatment to each
patient's unique characteristics. Scientific advancements have led to a better understanding …
