Abstract
The effects of 25 kHz ultrasound on murine testes was studied, as mimicking possible World WAR II SONAR exposure to swimming maintenance personnel. Very few specimens were found to exhibit morphological tissue alterations, depending upon length of exposure time and proximity of the source to the tissue. Thermal processes seem to be eliminated, but microstreaming may be implicated, as the physical mechanism(s) of interaction.Entities:
