  Congratulations to Gabrielle Laloy-Borgna on receiving The Grand Prix de thèse Saint-Gobain from the French #Physics Society (SFP)   Le Prix Saint-Gobain 2023 est décerné à Gabrielle Laloy-Borgna Borgna pour sa thèse intitulée "Micro-#élastographie : caractérisation mécanique de la cellule par ondes élastiques" effectuée à l'Université Claude Bernard / Lyon 1 sous la direction de Stefan Catheline. Son travail porte sur l'imagerie des objets biologiques via la mesure de leurs propriétés mécaniques, une classe de techniques dont la mieux connue est l'échographie. La première partie porte sur une extension de ce type de caractérisations à des échelles nettement plus petites que celles auxquelles elles ont aujourd'hui accès, celle de la cellule vivante unique. Pour cela, elle a mis au point une technique originale pour générer des #ondes #mécaniques à petite échelle via l'utilisation d'une #bulle oscillante. Elle a ensuite tourné son attention vers des amas cellulaires mimant des tumeurs cancéreuses, et a là encore contribué au développement d'une source d'onde innovante à base de #nanoparticules magnétiques. La dernière partie de ce travail porte sur des échelles beaucoup plus grandes, et a trait à l'#onde de #pouls provoquée par les battements du #coeur et qui se propage le long des vaisseaux sanguins. Alors que la communauté scientifique n'avait jusque là connaissance d'un seul type d'onde de pouls, Gabrielle Laloy Borgna en a au cours de sa #thèse identifiée une seconde, beaucoup plus lente et impliquant la flexion des vaisseaux sanguins. Ces résultats bouleversent 200 ans d’histoire faisant suite aux travaux de Thomas Young en 1820 et ouvrent des perspectives très prometteuses pour le diagnostic médical (1 Science Advances, 3 APL, 1 brevet). https://lnkd.in/djB_zYYz

Discovery of Flexural Waves in Blood Vessels Could Enable Accurate Cardiovascular Diagnostics.   Pulse wave felt by fingers for vital diagnosis is a guided mechanical wave propagating from the heart to the end of the arteries. It is by nature axisymmetric. A collaboration with Quinze-Vingt Paris Hospital, University of Tokushima and University of Lübeck conducted by INSERM of Lyon [1], lead to the discovery that pulse energy originated from the heart could also travel in an antisymmetric way: it is the flexural pulse wave. As it is much slower, its detection and speed estimation are easier. We anticipate that this parameter will be very useful in #angiography, shall it be by #ultrasound, MRI, #optics or X-rays, to assess the #cardiovascular health of a patient.   Watch the animation on : https://lnkd.in/eC-nThJt   [1] Gabrielle Laloy-Borgna-Borgna, Léo Puyo, Hidero Nishino, Michael Atlan, Stefan Catheline Observation of natural flexural pulse waves in retinal and carotid arteries for wall elasticity estimation Science Advances, 9 (25) (2023) DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adf1783 

ITEC 2024 - Lyon Thank You for an Incredible #ITEC 2024 conference! We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who made this event possible. A special thank you to our esteemed speakers, dedicated participants, and supportive sponsors for their contributions and insights. During 3 days, we explored groundbreaking research, shared best practices, and forged new connections that will drive #elastography forward. We encourage all attendees to stay connected and continue the conversations that began here. Save the date for #ITEC 2025 to be held in Seattle (USA), by the end of June -we can’t wait to see you again! Thank you once again for being part of this journey.

Congratulations to Thomas BISCALDI on receiving the Nadine Barrie Smith Award 2024 from the #ISTU Society! Mr. Thomas BISCALDI, PhD student at the Laboratory of Therapeutic Applications of Ultrasound (LabTAU, Inserm U1032, French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, University Claude Bernard of Lyon, France), recently received the International Society of Therapeutic Ultrasound’s (#ISTU) Nadine BARRIE SMITH Award at the 23rd International Symposium for Therapeutic Ultrasound. ISTU’s most prestigious student award was established in 2011 in honor of Dr. Nadine BARRIE SMITH's dedication to students in therapeutic ultrasound and recognizes exemplary student achievements at the ISTU Annual Symposium. This fund allows continued recognition of Dr. BARRIE SMITH's legacy as a mentor, and to encourage others to do the same. The ISTU24 event was held in Taipei (Taiwan) from Sept. 19 to 22, 2024, at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC) located right in the heart of Taipei City in the international Xinyi business district. Following ISTU tradition, the student award winners were selected by the ISTU Student Awards Committee after pre-selection of abstracts and presentations of their works at either the “Student Award Talks” Session or the “Student Award Posters” Session. Three awards were then given for Best Poster, Best Oral Presentation, and the Nadine BARRIE SMITH Award at the final “Student Award Announcements” session. This year, Mr. Thomas BISCALDI (LabTAU, Inserm U1032, INSERM, CLB, University Claude Bernard of Lyon, France) shared this session with Ms. Mahsa Mokhlesabadi (Sunnybrook Research Institute, Toronto, Canada) and Ms. Vanessa Drevenakova (Imperial College London, UK) who respectively received the awards for Best Oral and Best Poster Presentations. Thomas BISCALDI gave a presentation entitled “Dual-Mode US Interstitial Catheter for Robotic US-Navigation-guided Conformal #HIFU therapy: in-vitro experimental validation” highlighting their recent contributions to the development of 3D image-guided robot-assisted ultrasound therapy in interventional radiology, in the context of #HepatoCellular #Carcinoma (HCC) ablation.
