Scientists have been exploring the use of tiny magnetic particles mixed with blood to improve heat transfer and potentially revolutionize medical treatments. These nanofluids, specifically Fe3O4/blood and CoFe2O4/blood, are being studied for their ability to enhance thermal conductivity and efficien
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients often face a tough battle against malnutrition. This is especially true for those who undergo a specific treatment called cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC). This treatment can boost survival rates for those
Ovarian cancer is a major health concern for women, with a high fatality rate. Traditional treatments like surgery and chemotherapy often fall short due to drug resistance. This has pushed researchers to explore innovative methods, such as nanotechnology, to fight this disease more effectively. Gol
Have you ever heard of using magnets to cook cancer cells? Well, researchers have discovered a cool way to use magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles mixed with a gel to heat up tumors from the inside. This jelly, called IT-MG, can react to special radio waves, getting hot enough to kill cancer cells whe
Ever wondered what happens to your body when you run a 7-mile race in warm weather? Seventy-seven recreational runners found out the hard way during a recent race where the temperature ranged from 25. 0 to 26. 7°C and the humidity was between 56. 7% to 79. 0%. Before and after the race, their blood
