Whither Magnetic Hyperthermia? A Tentative Roadmap

On the convergence of evolutionary and behavioral theories of organizations: a tentative roadmap

The behavioral theory of the firm has been acknowledged as one of the most fundamental pillars on which evolutionary theorizing in economics has been built. Nelson and Winter’s 1982 book is pervaded by the philosophy and concepts previously developed by Cyert, March and Simon. On the other hand, some behavioral notions, such as bounded rationality, though isolated from the context, are also at ...

Local hyperthermia for esophageal cancer in a rabbit tumor model: Magnetic stent hyperthermia versus magnetic fluid hyperthermia

Magnetic-mediated hyperthermia (MMH) is a promising local thermotherapy approach for cancer treatment. The present study investigated the feasibility and effectiveness of MMH in esophageal cancer using a rabbit tumor model. The therapeutic effect of two hyperthermia approaches, magnetic stent hyperthermia (MSH), in which heat is induced by the clinical stent that is placed inside the esophagus,...

A Topical Review of Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia

Introduction The human body naturally uses heat to fight disease. For example, viruses and bacteria proliferate at normal body temperatures, so the body instinctively defends itself by increasing its temperature several degrees to slow the rapid multiplication of such disease-causing agents. This phenomenon, commonly called a fever, gives the body an advantage while fighting the infection. Feve...

Cancer hyperthermia using magnetic nanoparticles.

Magnetic-nanoparticle-mediated intracellular hyperthermia has the potential to achieve localized tumor heating without any side effects. The technique consists of targeting magnetic nanoparticles to tumor tissue followed by application of an external alternating magnetic field that induces heat through Néel relaxation loss of the magnetic nanoparticles. The temperature in tumor tissue is increa...
