Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently seen in patients with hemorrhagic shock due to hypotension, tissue hypoxia, and inflammation despite adequate resuscitation. There is a lack of information concerning the alteration of renal microcirculation and perfusion during shock an ...
Bacteria encased in a biofilm poses significant challenges to successful treatment, since both the immune system and antibiotics are ineffective. Sonobactericide, which uses ultrasound and microbubbles, is a potential new strategy for increasing antimicrobial effectiveness or ...
Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is associated with low oxygen carrying capacity of blood and purposed to cause renal injury in perioperative setting. It is best accomplished in a perioperative setting by a colloid such as hydroxyl ethyl starch (HES) due its capacity to f ...
Corrections to “Microbubble Composition and Preparation for High-Frequency Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging
Microbubble Composition and Preparation for High-Frequency Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging: In Vitro and in Vivo Evaluation (IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control DOI: 10.1109/TUFFC.2016.2640342)
In the above article [1], the authors regret that there was a mistake in calculating the mol% of the microbubble coating composition used. For all experiments, the unit in mg/mL was utilized and the conversion mistake only came when converting to mol% in order to define the ra ...

Vibrational Responses of Bound and Nonbound Targeted Lipid-Coated Single Microbubbles (IEEE Trans. Ultrason., Ferroelectr., Freq. Control (2017) 64:5 (785–797) DOI: 10.1109/TUFFC.2017.2679160)
In the above article [1], the authors regret that there was a mistake in calculating the mol% of the microbubble coating composition. For all experiments, the unit in mg/mL was utilized and the conversion mistake only came when converting to mol% in order to define the ratio b ...
Corrigendum to “Non-linear Response and Viscoelastic Properties of Lipid-Coated Microbubbles
DSPC versus DPPC” (Ultrasound Med Biol 2015;41:1432–1445) (Non-linear Response and Viscoelastic Properties of Lipid-Coated Microbubbles: DSPC versus DPPC 41(5) (1432–1445), (S0301562915000356), (10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2015.01.004))
The authors regret that there was a mistake in reporting the mol% of the microbubble coating composition used. For all experiments, the unit in mg/mL was used and the conversion mistake occurred only when converting to mol% to define the ratio between the coating formulation c ...
Corrigendum to “Viability of endothelial cells after ultrasound-mediated sonoporation
Influence of targeting, oscillation, and displacement of microbubbles” [Journal of Controlled Release 238 (2016) 197–211]
Ultrasound contrast agents consist of gas-filled coated microbubbles that oscillate upon ultrasound insonification. Their characteristic oscillatory response provides contrast enhancement for imaging and has the potential to locally enhance drug delivery. Since microbubble res ...
Microbubble Composition and Preparation for High-Frequency Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging
In Vitro and in Vivo Evaluation
Although high-frequency ultrasound imaging is gaining attention in various applications, hardly any ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) dedicated to such frequencies (>15 MHz) are available for contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging. Moreover, the composition of the limi ...
Laser-Activated Polymeric Microcapsules for Ultrasound Imaging and Therapy
In Vitro Feasibility
Polymeric microcapsules with a light-absorbing dye incorporated in their shell can generate vapor microbubbles that can be spatiotemporally controlled by pulsed laser irradiation. These contrast agents of 6–8 μm in diameter can circulate through the vasculature, offering possi ...
Viability of endothelial cells after ultrasound-mediated sonoporation
Influence of targeting, oscillation, and displacement of microbubbles
Microbubbles (MBs) have been shown to create transient or lethal pores in cell membranes under the influence of ultrasound, known as ultrasound-mediated sonoporation. Several studies have reported enhanced drug delivery or local cell death induced by MBs that are either target ...
