Therapeutic use of high-amplitude pressure waves, or shock wave therapy (SWT), is emerging as a popular method for treating musculoskeletal disorders. However, the mechanism(s) through which this technique promotes healing are unclear. Finite element models of a shock wave source and the foot were constructed to gain a better understanding of the mechanical stimuli that SWT produces in the cont...

This report describes how using the Navier-Stokes equations to numerically calculate a shock wave will more accurately depict a realistic and observed shock wave. Earlier related inviscid shock capturing studies that have attempted to numerically calculate the shock wave and downstream field surrounding a blunt body re-entering the atmosphere have exhibited an instability known as the carbuncle...

When extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) was administered to the equine metacarpus/ metatarsus, there was subperiosteal and subendosteal hemorrhage, but no microfractures were detected. No damage to the surrounding soft tissues was detected. The principle of ESWT and the acute effects of ESWT on equine bone and soft tissue are explained.

Concrement lithotripsy in the kidney and ureter using extracorporeal shock waves (ESWL) was performed with the aid of a 2nd-generation lithotriptor--Lithostar Siemens. Over a period of 11 months ESWL was applied in 526 patients aged 7 to 80 years, 10 of these were children. 19 patients had bilateral lithiasis so that the treatment was applied to a total of 545 renoureteral units and 698 concrem...

We nd an exact pp{gravitational wave solution of the fourth order gravity eld equations. The sourceless version of it is not a vacuum solution of General Relativity. It represents the contribution of the massive, m = (?) ?1=2 , spin{ two eld associated to the Ricci squared term in the gravitational Lagrangian. We generalize this analysis to D{dimensions, extended sources, and higher than fourth...

We investigate coronal transients associated with a GOES M6.7 class flare and a coronal mass ejection (CME) on 13 July 2004. During the rising phase of the flare, a filament eruption, loop expansion, a Moreton wave, and an ejecta were observed. An EIT wave was detected later on. The main features in the radio dynamic spectrum were a frequency-drifting continuum and two type II bursts. Our analy...

In this paper, we have studied on the solutions of modied KdV equation andalso on the stability of them. We use the tanh method for this investigationand given solutions are good-behavior. The solution is shock wave and can beused in the physical investigations
