New magnetic implant material for interstitial hyperthermia

New magnetic implant material for interstitial hyperthermia

Magnetic properties and heat generation characteristics of a bio-compatible ceramic Mg1þxFe222xTixO4 system have been investigated as an implant material for the magnetic induction hyperthermia. Curie temperature ðTcÞ of the ceramic decreases with increasing x; and become Tc , 350 K at x 1⁄4 0:35 and ,315 K at x 1⁄4 0:38; which is suitable Curie temperature for implant material. The temperature...

Clinical hyperthermia of prostate cancer using magnetic nanoparticles: presentation of a new interstitial technique.

The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate whether the technique of magnetic fluid hyperthermia can be used for minimally invasive treatment of prostate cancer. This paper presents the first clinical application of interstitial hyperthermia using magnetic nanoparticles in locally recurrent prostate cancer. Treatment planning was carried out using computerized tomography (CT) of the prostate. B...

Magnetic hyperthermia enhance the treatment efficacy of peri-implant osteomyelitis

BACKGROUND When bacteria colony persist within a biofilm, suitable drugs are not yet available for the eradication of biofilm-producing bacteria. The aim of this study is to study the effect of magnetic nano-particles-induced hyperthermia on destroying biofilm and promoting bactericidal effects of antibiotics in the treatment of osteomyelitis. METHODS Sixty 12-weeks-old male Wistar rats were ...

Local Hyperthermia with Interstitial Techniques1

The heating of deep visceral tumors with implanted electrodes and with self-regulating ferromagnetic thermoseeds was inves tigated. Clinical trials on six patients heated with implanted electrodes indicate that good local tumor control can be obtained by application of hyperthermia during a normal course of radio therapy. The heating method was found practical, and neither toxicity nor severe p...
