Displacement of particles in microfluidics by laser-generated tandem bubbles.
Lautz, Jaclyn; Sankin, Georgy; Yuan, Fang; Zhong, Pei (Appl Phys Lett, 2010-11-01)The dynamic interaction between laser-generated tandem bubble and individual polystyrene particles of 2 and 10 μm in diameter is studied in a microfluidic channel (25 μm height) by high-speed imaging and particle ... -
Effect of lithotripter focal width on stone comminution in shock wave lithotripsy.
Qin, Jun; Simmons, W Neal; Sankin, Georgy; Zhong, Pei (J Acoust Soc Am, 2010-04)Using a reflector insert, the original HM-3 lithotripter field at 20 kV was altered significantly with the peak positive pressure (p(+)) in the focal plane increased from 49 to 87 MPa while the -6 dB focal width decreased ... -
Improving the lens design and performance of a contemporary electromagnetic shock wave lithotripter.
Neisius, Andreas; Smith, Nathan B; Sankin, Georgy; Kuntz, Nicholas John; Madden, John Francis; Fovargue, Daniel E; Mitran, Sorin; ... (11 authors) (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014-04-01)The efficiency of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), a noninvasive first-line therapy for millions of nephrolithiasis patients, has not improved substantially in the past two decades, especially in regard to stone clearance. ... -
Optimization of treatment strategy used during shockwave lithotripsy to maximize stone fragmentation efficiency.
Yong, Daniel Z; Lipkin, Michael E; Simmons, W Neal; Sankin, Georgy; Albala, David M; Zhong, Pei; Preminger, Glenn M (J Endourol, 2011-09)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous studies have demonstrated that treatment strategy plays a critical role in ensuring maximum stone fragmentation during shockwave lithotripsy (SWL). We aimed to develop an optimal treatment ...
