In modern surgery, a multitude of minimally intrusive operational techniques are used which are based on the punctual heating of target zones of human tissue via laser or radio-frequency currents. Traditionally, these processes are modeled by the bioheat equation introduced by Pennes, who considers Fouriers theory of heat conduction. We present an alternative and more realistic model established by the hyperbolic equation of heat transfer. To demonstrate some features and advantages of our proposed method, we apply the obtained results to different types of tissue heating with high energy fluxes, in particular radiofrequency heating and pulsed laser treatment of the cornea to correct refractive errors. Hopefully, the results of our approach help to refine surgical interventions in this novel field of medical treatment.

We present a method for the measurements of the tetrahertz (THz) resonance response of DNA oligonucleotides deposited on a silicon nanosandwich (SNS). It is shown that the SNS device can be used to generate a THz resonance response within living biotissue. The technique we propose measures changes of the longitudinal conductance and the lateral voltage with the SNS device in a Hall geometry. The mechanism of the THz response is discussed, with a model of the generation of Shapiro steps. The THz resonance response from living biotissues will aid the diagnosis of oncological disease and, in general, form the basis of a rapid diagnosis in practical medicine.
In the framework of the simplified stochastic model the critical values of an induction of the external magnetic field leading to sharp increase of fluctuations of a casual current of biologically important ions in different blood vessels of a human body are calculated.
Imaging technologies have been developed to assist physicians and dentist in the detection of various diseases. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a new imaging technique that shows great promise to image soft tissues. The prototype of PAI system in this study utilized a non-ionizing 532nm continue-wave diode laser illumination to image oral soft tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diode laser intensity modulation to the Photoacoustic image quality. Samples in this study were oral soft tissues from six Sprague Dawley rats imaged by using the PAI system. To determine the optimum duty cycle of laser intensity modulation, the laser exposure for oral soft tissue imaging was set in various duty cycles.
The end-Permian mass extinction is the most severe known from the fossil record. The most likely cause is massive volcanic activity associated with the formation of the Permo-Triassic Siberian flood basalts. A proposed mechanism for extinction due to this volcanic activity is depletion of stratospheric ozone, leading to increased penetration of biologically damaging Solar ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation to Earths surface. Previous work has modeled the atmospheric chemistry effects of volcanic emission at the end-Permian. Here we use those results as input for detailed radiative transfer simulations to investigate changes in surface-level Solar irradiance in the ultraviolet-B, ultraviolet-A and photosynthetically available (visible light) wave bands. We then evaluate the potential biological effects using biological weighting functions. In addition to changes in ozone column density we also include gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfate aerosols. Ours is the first such study to include these factors and we find they have a significant impact on transmission of Solar radiation through the atmosphere. Inclusion of SO2 and aerosols greatly reduces the transmission of radiation across the ultraviolet and visible wavelengths, with subsequent reduction in biological impacts by UVB. We conclude that claims of a UVB mechanism for this extinction are likely overstated.
Self-regulation of living tissue as an example of self-organization phenomena in hierarchical systems of biological, ecological, and social nature is under consideration. The characteristic feature of these systems is the absence of any governing center and, thereby, their self-regulation is based on a cooperative interaction of all the elements. The work develops a mathematical theory of a vascular network response to local effects on scales of individual units of peripheral circulation.
