Purpose: Last 20 years Ultrasound wound and skin treatment has been shown great interest in hospitals, clinics; wound care centers and doctors’ offices. The purpose of this presentation is to share of my about 50 years scientific/academic, industry and clinical experience on research (in vivo and in vitro, laboratory, bench, etc.), review, and evaluate the safety, validity and efficacy of ultrasound treatment of all types of acute and chronic wounds including diabetic foot ulcers and share the results with the existing and future users by enhancing their understanding of potential positive outcomes from using the different Ultrasound devices in wound management.

Methods: For wound treatment purposes, the low and high-frequency ultrasound devices have been used, which are been marketed worldwide. The ultrasonic parameters and design of instruments are very influential and critical for different aspects of wound treatment, such as ultrasonic energy delivery to target, tissue fractionation/ fragmentation/ debridement, liquefaction/ histotripsy, erosion, homogenization, liquation and wound therapy. Ultrasound treatment applies effective ways to prevent damage to surrounding healthy tissue and to succeed in therapeutic wound treatment. Treatment was both contact and non-contact modes, depending on the manufacturers, devices and wound conditions such as acute, infected, chronic, trauma, burn, gun shut, hard-to-heal, etc.

Results: All wounds have reacted well to ultrasound treatment; some of the wounds have exceeded expectations compared to standard-of-care treatment vectors.  Even painful wounds have been aggressively debrided with some devices without local anesthetics and without patient complaints. Granulation process had started within two (2) days.

Discussion/Conclusion: Ultrasound wound treatment device and method recommended for use in the treatment of all types of wounds; depending on size, depth, infection, and other conditions, treatment time will vary. It kills the bacteria cells, increases blood flow in wound bed and peri-wound. Efficacy of the results correlates to numerous aspects of wave delivery and distribution of ultrasound energy to wound bed via multiple avenues of energy level, parameters, wave delivery concepts, e.g. contact and non-contact macro and micro-streaming.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are a critical component of the effort to develop new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, and treat cancer  and other diseases. "Some people think that clinical trials are the last resort," says Jack Whelan of Andover, Mass., who was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2007. "I am a survivor of a rare not-yet-curable cancer. Forward-looking science, what is available in clinical trials, was the best choice for me." For researchers and clinicians, trials are critical to determining the potential benefits and safety of investigational cancer therapies  or for understanding if an existing medication could be useful for other types of cancer . Clinical trials are the last step before treatments are made widely available. They come after the completion of basic lab research and testing. Clinical testing in patients is key to understanding how a particular therapy will perform and what kinds of side effects may occur. Clinical tr

Solar Greenhouse

A greenhouse  is a structure secured with a transparent material (glass or plastic) that goes about as a solar gatherer and uses solar brilliant energy to develop plants. It has heating, cooling and ventilating gadgets  for controlling the temperature inside the greenhouse. Solar radiations can go through the greenhouse coating, yet the warm radiations produced by the items inside the greenhouse can't escape through the coated surface. Subsequently, the radiations  get caught inside the greenhouse and result in an expansion in temperature. As the greenhouse structure has a shut limit, the air inside the green­house gets advanced with CO2 as there is no blending of the greenhouse air  with the encompassing air. Further, there is diminished dampness misfortune because of limited tran­spiration. Every one of these highlights helps to maintain plant development for the duration of the day and additionally amid the night and throughout the entire year. To know more: ht

Tuberculosis infection and vaccination

-

Tuberculosis is generally caused by the bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis  which affects the lungs and sometimes affects the other parts of the body. This acts as an infectious disease as about 1% of the world population is affected by this infection every year. They are chronic cough with blood containing sputum, night sweats, weight loss, and fever. When the infection is spread to other organs it may cause a serious impact. Tuberculosis acts as a communicable disease which spread through the air. People with infection  in lungs spread infection through a cough, spit, speak and sneeze. These are mainly found in the people who are infected with HIV AIDS and those who smoke. Deduction and treatment must be done in the early period based on the X-ray and microscopic examination of the body fluids. They can be divided into pulmonary  and extrapulmonary . Pulmonary infection is where the disease spread inside the lungs which causes a cough with blood in some ext
