Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy.

* Extracorporeal therapy

A Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy | lithotriptor machine is seen in an Operating theater | operating room ; other equipment is seen in the background, including an Anaesthetic machine | anesthesia machine and a X-ray image intensifier # Mobile Fluoroscopic System AKA " portable C-arm " | mobile fluoroscopic system ( or " C-arm ").

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ( ESWL ) is an noninvasive technique for the removal of kidney stones.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ( ESWL ) is a non-invasive treatment of kidney stones ( urinary calculosis ) and biliary calculi ( stones in the gallbladder or in the liver ) using an acoustic pulse.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( ECMO ) is a modified cardiopulmonary bypass technique used for the treatment of life threatening cardiac or respiratory failure.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( ECMO ) is a simplified form of CPB sometimes used as life-support for newborns with serious birth defects, or to oxygenate and maintain recipients for organ transplantation until new organs can be found.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( ECMO ) is a potential treatment, providing oxygenation through an apparatus that imitates the gas exchange process of the lungs.

Once renal stones have formed, however, the first-line treatment is ESWL ( Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ).

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ( ESWL ), which is unrelated to other extracorporeal therapies, in that the device used to break up the kidney stones is held completely outside the body, whilst the lithotripsy itself occurs inside the body.

Extracorporeal radiotherapy, where a large bone with a tumour is removed and given a dose far exceeding what would otherwise be safe to give to a patient.

* Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation ( ECMO ) Unit-" The hospital is equipped to care for ECMO patients.

Extracorporeal lithotripsy works best with stones between 4 mm and 2 cm in diameter that are still located in the kidney.

Extracorporeal blood flow remains constant, but gas transfer does not occur.

* Extracorporeal Life Support, pertains to all extracorporeal gas-exchange activities.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy: A high intensity specialized percussion device can help to remodel new bone tissue and decrease pain.

There is contradictory evidence and recommendations for the efficacy of extracorporeal shockwave therapy ( ESWT ), or the use of acoustic shock waves, as treatment for plantar fasciitis.

More specialised therapies include prolotherapy ( sclerosant injection into the neovascularity ) and extracorporeal shockwave therapy may have some additional benefit.

The shockwave in thunder is sufficient to cause injury, such as internal contusion, to individuals nearby.

Detonation can only be initiated by a combination of extreme heat and a shockwave, such as when a detonator inserted into it is fired.

* When a shockwave is created by high explosives such as TNT ( which has a detonation velocity of 6, 900 m / s ), it will always travel at high, supersonic velocity from its point of origin.

In these cases, a waverider is designed to keep the rounded shockwave attached to its wings, not a flat sheet, which increases the volume of air trapped under the surface, and thereby increases lift.

A local shockwave is created around each pocket and the cylinder pressure may rise sharply beyond its design limits.

In a burst at high altitudes, where the air density is low, more energy is released as ionizing gamma radiation and x-rays than an atmosphere-displacing shockwave.

As a prelude to the series, the Earth of year 2167 AD is shown to be devastated by a powerful electromagnetic shockwave.

The second shockwave, unlike the first, is to contain a great deal of matter composed of the remnants of the star itself.

However, as he tries to explain the situation to the marine, another teleportation test takes place and loses containment, at which point the entire Mars base is swept with an unnatural shockwave, transforming most of the base's personnel into zombies as the forces of Hell invade through the teleporter's portal.

Clubbing is an old method seldom used today, mainly used on burbot, the fisherman walks on clear ice in shallow water and see a large fish throu the ice and with a large club which he or she slams into the ice, the shockwave hits the fish and it is temporary paralyzed, which gives the fisherman time to cut a hole in the ice to collect the fish.

Thus, an explosive booster is used to deliver sufficient shockwave to the main charge.

The white halo is formed by condensed water droplets which are thought to result from a decrease in air pressure behind the shockwave ( see Prandtl-Glauert Singularity ).

In this way, the driver does not have any contact with the hull except on the pedals and is out of the shockwave area of exploding land mines or IEDs.

It is currently not freely available to be played within the shockwave web applet.

A bullet bow shockwave is a physical and audible wave created in the air when a bullet travels at supersonic speeds ; meaning faster than the speed of sound.

The bullet bow shockwave is the result of air being greatly compressed at the front-most tip of the bullet as it slices through the air.

A bullet bow shockwave will be heard by any witness as long as the bullet speed is faster than the speed of sound, whether the bullet was fired from a weapon giving off an openly audible muzzle blast, or a mechanically-suppress-fired muzzle ( Suppressed weapon ) blast.

If a bullet is fired from a suppressed weapon, a witness can mistake the bullet bow audible shockwave whip-crack for the weapon muzzle blast audible wave, which is a separate audible event.

His trademark attack is to snap his fingers creating a shockwave not just in space but across time.

The air burst is usually several hundred to a few thousand feet ( 100 to 1000m ) above the hypocenter to allow the shockwave of the fission or fusion driven explosion to bounce off of the ground and back into itself, creating a shockwave that is more forceful than one from a detonation at ground level.
