Recently, the combined application of synergistic therapies for photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy has become important to obtain more efficient results. The synergism between two sensitizers, rose bengal (RB) and chlorin e6 (Ce6), excited by different methods, was evaluated as a novel approach both sonodynamic therapy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. sonostability sing...

Several medical tools with various functions have been developed for minimally invasive diagnostics and treatment. Microfabrication techniques such as MEMS technology are useful for the realization of high-performance multifunctional minimally invasive medical tools with small sizes. An ultra-miniature pressure sensor and an intravascular ultrasonic forward-viewing imager have been developed as...
