As a result of the bleeds, the protocol was redesigned to perform the procedure under general anesthesia and all subseque...

Nanoparticles offer new hope for detection and treatment

...sted in clinical trials in about one and a half to two years. The spherical nanoparticles are a few thousand times smaller than the dot above this "i," yet each can carry about 100,000 molecules of the metal used to provide contrast in MRI images. This creates a high density of contrast agent, and when ...

Chemicals in tattoo inks need closer scrutiny

... Jani Ingram, a professor of chemistry at NAU ?has two main goals: to characterize the diversity of tattoo inks, and to determine if any inks pose health threats in the form of heavy metals or other potentially dangerous chemicals. Overall, the study covers 17 inks from five different manufacturers. "We...
