In magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia treatment, the ideal objective is to destroy all tumor cells without any damage to neighboring normal tissues. Thus, the temperature distribution in cancerous tissue and also surrounding healthy tissues should become closer to the desired distribution. In this paper, the temperature distribution is estimated by using a numerical scheme to solve the Penne’s ...

in this work the mathematical model of a spatial pattern inchemical and biological systems is investigated numerically. theproposed model considered as a nonlinear reaction-diffusionequation. a computational approach based on finite difference andrbf-collocation methods is conducted to solve the equation withrespect to the appropriate initial and boundary conditions. theability and robustness o...

Researchers often publish the numerical findings of their intervention studies while overlooking the experiential findings that could help promote more appropriate and effective interventions in the future. The present paper describes the process by which we developed a culturally relevant preventive intervention for Korean American adolescents aged 11 to 14 years and their parents. We discuss ...

The first edition of this work was published in 192jIt was practically a pioneer work in a subject abo which little was known in this country. The Pres^e edition is practically a new work, owing to *n tremendous strides this branch of medical science na made since then. This is particularly the case wit diseases due to infection by the gonococcus, ra0\, especially in women. The experience, gain...

Patient motion during treatment is one of the future challenges in the field of external beam radiotherapy. In this paper, we address this problem by considering a time–dependent Boltzmann transport model for dose calculation and by deriving closed-loop control laws for the treatment planning problem. We formulate an optimal control problem for the desired dose using boundary and distributed co...

Two types of applicators, an inductive applicator and capacitive electrodes, are used to compute the temperature elevation during the treatment of the shoulder, hip and spine in a numerical male model (NORMAN). The used thermal model is based on the Pennes Equation and has been extended by additional thermoregulatory mechanism. The blood flow and metabolic rate are elevated as a function of the...
