With the intensification of global population aging, osteoarthritis (OA) has emerged as a major socioeconomic burden requiring urgent therapeutic interventions. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), a non-invasive physical therapy modality, delivers pulsed acoustic energy to target tissues with negligible thermal effects. Accumulating evidence from preclinical studies and randomized controlled trials has demonstrated its potential to decelerate OA progression. This systematic review synthesizes current knowledge on LIPUS-mediated OA management, elucidates mechanistic pathways through biomechanical and molecular analyses, strategies combining LIPUS with biomaterials to improve its efficacy, evaluates clinical translation challenges, and proposes standardized treatment protocols to optimize therapeutic outcomes.

Background: Monitoring industrial processes is critical for ensuring consistent product quality, as consumers expect uniformity across different production batches. In the case of herbal extracts, such as rosemary hydroalcoholic extracts, it is essential to control the yield of target compounds to maintain both the expected quality and safety. Typically, these extracts are produced in an extractor and then analyzed separately in a laboratory (offline).

Background: Catheter ablations are increasingly performed with zero or minimal fluoroscopy, enabled by ultrasound imaging and electro-anatomical mapping. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) using Farawave has been dependent on fluoroscopic assessment of catheter conformation and contact. We aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of a PFA workflow for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and extrapulmonary ablation.

This study aimed to improve the efficiency of decellularization and enhance the functional properties of vascular grafts to optimize their application in vascular repair. Rabbit abdominal aortas were used as the decellularization target, and ultrasound-assisted decellularization was performed using intermittent ultrasound at 100 W power, 20 kHz frequency, and 4 °C. Rabbit abdominal aortas were subjected to three different decellularization techniques.

Background: Hypertrophic scarring is a common pathological condition often associated with significant clinical symptoms. In pediatric patients, it can impair function and is difficult to treat due to the limited availability of effective treatment options.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of pulsed dye and fractional CO laser combined with ultrasound-assisted transdermal drug delivery technology in the treatment of hypertrophic scars in pediatric patients.
