Abstract

In the previous chapters we have described the effects of cavitation in the cardiovascular system and cell surgery. There are an increasing number of biomedical contexts where cavitation takes place in other non-Newtonian biological fluids, such as saliva or synovial fluid. In saliva, cavitation occurs during some medical applications of lasers and ultrasound.
