Abstract Aims Radioembolization with yttrium-90 microspheres is an emerging option for management of liver metastases breast cancer when other systemic therapies have failed. The aims this systematic review were to assess the effect radioembolization on i) tumour response and ii) patient survival post -radioembolization. Methods was performed using Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews M...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the effects of yttrium nitrate on neurobehavioral development in Sprague-Dawley rats. METHODS Dams were orally exposed to 0, 5, 15, or 45 mg/kg daily of yttrium nitrate from gestation day (GD) 6 to postnatal day (PND) 21. Body weight and food consumption were monitored weekly. Neurobehavior was assessed by developmental landmarks and reflexes, mot...

porous hollow glass microspheres have many uses, including encapsulation of active materials. in this paper a fast and facile method for fabricating porous hollow glass-microspheres was demonstrated by etching them using dilute hydrofluoric acid. then, a highly reactive amine was infiltrated into the etched glass microspheres. scanning electron microscopy was conducted for the hollow glass micr...

nano-hydroxyapatite/gelatin (nha/ge) microspheres are currently used in bone tissue engineering as bone filler. in this  study, the effect of fabrication process parameters on the particle size of nano-hydroxyapatite/gelatinmicrospheres was investigated. the nha/ge microspheres were fabricated using water in oil emulsion. in order to design an experimental design, a surface response model with ...
