Introduction: One of the combination therapies for the treatment of cancer is ultrasound with other agents, which has received considerable attention in recent years. Ultrasound causes cavitation phenomenon that can produce some effects, such as; Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which results in damage to cancer cells. When a particle is in liquid, the cavitation threshold decrea...

objective: due to recent advances in nanotechnology it is now possible to accumulate high atomic-number nanomaterial such as gold nanoparticles (gnps) in cancerous cells and take advantage of their absorbed dose enhancement property as radiosensitizing agents. this study aimed to investigate the absorbed dose enhancement factor due to the presence of pegylated gnps under the irradiation of an m...

background and objectives according to islamic doctrines, the use of gold for men has been banned. in general, any advised subject in islam is useful for the body and what has definitely forbidden for a man is definitely harmful for him although its reasons have not been exactly specified. however, muslims believe that there is certainly a sound reason behind this prohibition. this issue was st...

a simple method for fabrication of highly ordered gold nanorod film is introduced in this article. the procedure is based on thermal evaporation of gold into a porous anodic alumina film (paa). the ppa film was fabricated by combining the hard and mild anodization. this combination effectively decreases the processing time of fabrication of highly ordered porous anodic alumina film with control...

modern hydrometallurgical techniques have been adopted to produce high-purity gold. many extractants were used for the extraction of gold from various synthetic solutions from which dibutyl carbitol (dbc) had a unique superiority. kinetics of process was studied in this paper and the influence of several parameters such as stirring speed, agitation time, impeller type, interfacial area, [aucl4]...

to determine the complications of gold sodium thiomalate therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (ra), 32 patients with active ra (27 female, 5 male) treated for a mean period of 28 ? 14 weeks were studied. from these patients, 62.5 (46-79) percent showed at least one drug reaction. pruritus was the most common complication occurred in 59 (42-76) percents, and was accompanied by skin rush in 37 (15-57)...
