Chronic wounds are painful and debilitating to patients, pose a clinical challenge to physicians, and impose financial burden on the health-care system. New treatment options are therefore highly sought after. Ultrasound debridement is a promising technology that functions to disperse bacterial biofilms and stimulate wound healing. In this review, we focus on low-frequency ultrasound (20-60 kHz) and summarize the findings of 25 recent studies examining ultrasound efficacy. Ultrasound debridement appears to be most effective when used 3 times a week and has the potential to decrease exudate and slough, decrease patient pain, disperse biofilms, and increase healing in wounds of various etiology. Although current studies are generally of smaller size, the results are promising and we recommend the testing of low-frequency ultrasound therapy in clinical practice on a larger scale.

This article represents the results of research of low-frequency ultrasound with levocetirizine in patients with acute infectious rhinitis (AIR). Low-frequency ultrasound therapy with levocetirizin effectively reduces rhinitis symptoms (nasal obstruction, sneezing, rhinorrhea) duration, demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity and reduces of topical decongestants requirement in AIR patients. Effectiveness of this therapy was estimated by objective and subjective methods.
