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

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

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

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.

Word of Dag Hammarskjold's death in an African plane crash has sent a shockwave around the globe.

The baby boom has been described variously as a " shockwave " and as " the pig in the python.

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.

This shockwave takes quite a lot of energy to create and this makes supersonic flight generally less efficient than subsonic flight at about 85 % of the speed of sound.

ILM's " Praxis effect " shockwave became a common feature in science fiction films depicting the destruction of large objects.

The later shock waves are somewhat faster than the first one, travel faster and add to the main shockwave at some distance away from the aircraft to create a much more defined N-wave shape.

When material expelled in an initial normal supernova explosion meets dense nebular or material or dust close to the star, the shockwave converts kinetic energy efficiently into visible radiation.

Hatta's retirement sent a shockwave across Indonesia, particularly among the non-Javanese ethnicities, who viewed Hatta as their representative in a Javanese-dominated government.

However, he also noticed that the spanwise flow would be stopped by the shockwave being generated by the aircraft, and that if the wing was positioned to deliberately approach the shock, the spanwise flow would be trapped under wing, increasing pressure, and thus increasing lift.

As the study of hypersonic flows improved, researchers were able to study waverider designs that used different shockwave shapes, the simplest being the conical shock generated by point or radially symmetric bodies.
