Error resiliency transcoding and decoding solutions using distributed video coding techniques
(Elsevier, 2008)
This paper proposes a number of video transcoding techniques for the purpose of adding error resiliency. The proposed solutions make use of distributed video coding technologies which were originally reported in the ...
The Use of Ultrasound and Micelles in Cancer Treatment
(American Scientific Publishers, 2008)
The high toxicity of potent chemotherapeutic drugs like Doxorubicin (Dox) limits the therapeutic window in which they can be applied. This window can be expanded by controlling the drug delivery in both space and time such ...
Micelles and nanoparticles for ultrasonic drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)
Drug delivery research employing micelles and nanoparticles has expanded in recent years. Of particular interest is the use of these nanovehicles that deliver high concentrations of cytotoxic drugs to diseased tissues ...
Over-Pressure Suppresses Ultrasonic-Induced Drug Uptake
(Elseviser, 2008)
Ultrasound (US) is used to enhance and target delivery of drugs and genes to cancer tissues. The present study further examines the role of acoustic cavitation in US-induced permeabilization of cell membranes and subsequent ...
Ultrasonic-Activated Micellar Drug Delivery for Cancer Treatment
(Wiley InterSciences, 2008)
The use of nanoparticles and ultrasound in medicine continues to evolve. Great strides have been made in the areas of producing micelles, nanoemulsions, and solid nanoparticles that can be used in drug delivery. An effective ...
Ultrasound in drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)
In this issue, we present the current applications and future prospects of ultrasound in various aspects of drug and gene delivery. There are many advantages to ultrasound that make it ideal for the delivery of therapeutics ...
