conclusions body temperature changes in human poisonings are a matter in need of special attention. a literature review did not reveal any controversy over hypothermia, but poisoning cases exhibit a variety of patterns of fever and hyperthermia. if there are no limits to the diagnosis of fever and hyperthermia, all cases with a poor prognosis which fail to respond to treatment could be categori...

BACKGROUND The mechanism of rapid growth of the residual tumor after radiofrequency (RF) ablation is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of hyperthermia on HepG2 cells and generated a subline with enhanced viability and dys-regulated angiogenesis in vivo, which was used as a model to further determine the molecular mechanism of the rapid growth of residual HCC after RF ...

BACKGROUND Head and neck cancer is the leading cause of male mortality due to cancer in India. Surgery, radiation alone or in combination has been the backbone of treatment strategies. Chemo-radiation has emerged as the standard of care in most types of head and neck cancer. This strategy has the advantage of maintaining both structure and functions, albeit with increased acute and delayed side...

Goal: Deep-seated tumors (DST) can be treated using thermoseeds exposed to a radiofrequency magnetic field for performing local interstitial hyperthermia treatment (HT). Several research efforts were oriented the manufacturing of novel biocompatible nanostructured thermo-seeds, called scaffolds...

PURPOSE Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive energy delivery technique increasingly used for focal therapy to eradicate localized disease. RFA-induced tumor-cell necrosis generates an immunogenic source of tumor antigens known to induce antitumor immune responses. However, RFA-induced antitumor immunity is insufficient to control metastatic progression. We sought to characteriz...

many cell lines, when cultured under proper conditions, can form three dimensionalstructures called multicellular spheroids. these spheroids resemble in vivo tumor models in severalaspects. therefore, studying growth characteristics and behavior of spheroids is beneficial inunderstanding the behavior of tumors under various experimental conditions. in this work, we havestudied the growth proper...

best treatment option, although, there is no common consent on optimal therapy for advanced prostate cancer. case presentation: the present study reports a case of 75 year-old man who had a huge heterogeneous soft tissue mass lesion with non-homogeneous enhancement consisted low attenuated foci occupying pelvis cavity and lower abdomen with loss of mesenteric fat and invasion to posterior bladd...

Hyperthermia, the procedure of raising the temperature of a part of or the whole body above normal for a defined period of time, is applied alone or as an adjunctive with various established cancer treatment modalities such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Clinical hyperthermia falls into three broad categories, namely, (1) localized hyperthermia, (2) regional hyperthermia, and (3) whole-body ...

Microwave electromagnetic radiation (MW), 300–300,000 MHz (wavelength in air 1 m to 1 mm), and radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF), 0.3–300 MHz (wavelength in air 1,000–1 m), are both relatively new but rapidly intensifying occupational and environmental factors. For about 40 years there has been a steadily increasing exposure of both occupational groups and the general population to ...

The effect of combined cyclophosphamide (CY) and heat treatments on a murine tumor was studied at various temperatures. FSa-II tumors, the early generation isotransplants of a spontaneous fibrosarcoma in a C3Hf/Sed mouse, were used. A single cell suspension was transplanted into the animal foot. Hyperthermia was given by immersing animal feet into a water bath maintained at a desired temperatur...
