The application of ESWT in cardiovascular diseases is discussed. This includes preclinical and clinical applications for ischemic cardiovascular disease and effects on angiogenesis and anti-inflammation-molecular-cellular signaling pathways. The treatment of urinary diseases and erectile dysfunction by ESWT is elaborated. The book concludes with a discussion of future prospects of the shockwave therapy. Scholars and research fellows interested in shockwave medicine will benefit greatly from this work. It is also a useful clinical resource for nephrologists, urologists, cardiologists, and orthopedists.

Download or read book Medical and Biomedical Applications of Shock Waves written by Achim M. Loske and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides current, comprehensive, and clear explanations of the physics behind medical and biomedical applications of shock waves. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is one of the greatest medical advances of our time, and its techniques and clinical devices are continuously evolving. Further research continues to improve the understanding of calculi fragmentation and tissue-damaging mechanisms. Shock waves are also used in orthopedics and traumatology. Possible applications in oncology, cardiology, dentistry, gene therapy, cell transfection, transformation of fungi and bacteria, as well as the inactivation of microorganisms are promising approaches for clinical treatment, industrial applications and research. Medical and Biomedical Applications of Shock Waves is useful as a guide for students, technicians and researchers working in universities and laboratories. Chemists, biologists, physicians and veterinarians, involved in research or clinical practice will find useful advice, but also engineers and physicists may benefit from the overview of current research endeavors and future directions. Furthermore, it may also serve to direct manufacturers towards the design of more efficient and safer clinical, industrial and laboratory equipment.

Download or read book Shockwave Therapy for Pain Associated with Upper Extremity Orthopedic Disorders written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthopedic disorders encompass a variety of conditions including rotator cuff tendinopathy (shoulder disorder), epicondylitis (elbow disorder), patellar tendinosis (knee disorder) and plantar fasciitis (foot disorder) and are often associated with pain. Disorders such as these may be associated with decreased productivity or disability that may last several months resulting in a financial burden to society. Conventional therapies used in general practice to manage pain include rest, ice, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and subacromial corticosteroid injections., Patients unresponsive to such therapies may need to undergo surgical procedures. Shockwave therapy (SWT) may be an alternative to surgical procedures which can be expensive and associated with risk. Other therapeutic modalities include laser therapy, radiation therapy, and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS). SWT involves acoustic waves which carry energy to painful spots and musculoskeletal tissues with subacute, subchronic and chronic conditions. This energy assists in regeneration and repair of bones, tendons and other soft tissues. The exact mechanism of action is not clear. The interaction of shockwaves with tissue is thought to cause stimulation of tissue healing, breakdown of calcification, alteration of cell membrane permeability, and alteration of cell activity through cavitation., Devices used for SWT vary in design, depending on the way shockwaves are generated and the level of energy that it can produce. Generally, the shockwaves are generated by electrohydraulic, electromagnetic or piezoelectric mechanisms. SWT includes focused shockwave therapy (FSWT) and radial shockwave therapy (RSWT). FSWT is based on shockwaves of single pressure pulses of a microsecond duration, which are focused on a specific target using ultrasound or radiography guidance. RSWT is a low- to medium- energy shockwave that is pneumatically generated through the acceleration of a projectile inside the hand-piece of the medical device and then transmitted radially from the tip of the applicator to the target area. SWT has been used for over two decades for the treatment soft tissue and bone related musculoskeletal disorders. There is however some debate regarding the effectiveness of SWT compared to placebo or other treatment modalities. The purpose of this report is to review the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of shockwave therapy for pain associated with upper extremity orthopedic disorders. A separate report will review the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of shockwave therapy for pain associated with lower extremity orthopedic disorders.
