2. Sonophoresis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonophoresis

   Sonophoresis. Sonophoresis also known as phonophoresis, is a method that utilizes ultrasound to enhance the delivery of topical medications through the stratum corneum, to the epidermis and dermis. Sonophoresis allows for the enhancement of the permeability of the skin along with other modalities, such as iontophoresis, to deliver drugs with ...

3. Cavitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavitation

   Ultrasonic cavitation inception will occur when the acceleration of the ultrasound source is enough to produce the needed pressure drop. This pressure drop depends on the value of the acceleration and the size of the affected volume by the pressure wave. The dimensionless number that predicts ultrasonic cavitation is the Garcia-Atance number.

4. Hydrochlorothiazide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrochlorothiazide

   Hydrochlorothiazide, sold under the brand name Hydrodiuril among others, is a diuretic medication used to treat hypertension and swelling due to fluid build-up. [4] Other uses include treating diabetes insipidus and renal tubular acidosis and to decrease the risk of kidney stones in those with a high calcium level in the urine. [4]

5. Sonochemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonochemistry

   Sonochemistry. In chemistry, the study of sonochemistry is concerned with understanding the effect of ultrasound in forming acoustic cavitation in liquids, resulting in the initiation or enhancement of the chemical activity in the solution. [1] Therefore, the chemical effects of ultrasound do not come from a direct interaction of the ultrasonic ...

6. Therapeutic ultrasound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapeutic_ultrasound

   Non thermal effects are from cavitation, microstreaming and acoustic streaming. Cavitational effects result from the vibration of the tissue causing microscopic bubbles to form, which transmit the vibrations in a way that directly stimulates cell membranes. This physical stimulation appears to enhance the cell-repair effects of the inflammatory ...

7. Chlortalidone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlortalidone

   Chlortalidone, also known as chlorthalidone, is a thiazide-like diuretic drug [1] used to treat high blood pressure, swelling (such as occurs in heart failure, liver failure, and nephrotic syndrome ), diabetes insipidus, and renal tubular acidosis. [2] [3] Because chlortalidone is effective in most patients with high blood pressure, it is ...

8. Sonication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonication

   Sonication. Sonication is the act of applying sound energy to agitate particles in a sample, for various purposes such as the extraction of multiple compounds from plants, microalgae and seaweeds. [1] Ultrasonic frequencies (> 20 kHz) are usually used, leading to the process also being known as ultrasonication or ultra-sonication.

9. Ultrasonic cavitation device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_cavitation_device

   Ultrasonic cavitation device is a surgical device using low frequency ultrasound energy to dissect or fragment tissues with low fiber content. It is basically an ultrasound probe (acoustic vibrator) combined with an aspirator device ( suction ). [1] It is mainly used for tissues with high water content and low fiber content, like noncirrhotic ...
