...As observed in this table, the literature on the safety of this type of exposure is sparse and is mainly concerned with sonophoresis applications (Mitragotri, 1996, 2005; Mitragotri and Kost, 2004; Lavon and Kost, 2004; Machet and Boucaud, 2002; Ogura et al., 2008; Pahade et al., 2010; Smith, 2007)....

...Many recent reviews have shown that ultrasound mediated transdermal drug delivery offers promising potential for noninvasive drug administration (Tachibana and Tachibana 2001; Pitt et al 2004; Mitragotri 2005)....

...The working principle of sonophoresis, although not completely understood, has been suggested to be the result of cavitation (Mitragotri et al 1995b, 1997) although thermal effects can not be entirely discounted....

...Past research has demonstrated the possibility of deliv- ering and controlling therapeutic doses of proteins such as interferon gamma and erythropoeitin across human skin using ultrasound (Mitragotri et al 1995a)....

...Although ultrasound is known to increase transdermal pro- tein delivery (Tachibana 1992; Mitragotri et al 1995a) the mechanisms of this enhanced transport have not been fully characterized (Pitt et al 2004)....

...One hypothesis indicates that once the drug has traversed the stratum corneum, the next layer is easier to cross and subsequently the drug can reach the capil- lary vessels to be absorbed (Mitragotri et al 1995b)....
