iron overload is a clinical problem which can be prevented by using iron chelating agents. an alternative method of relieving iron overload is to reduce iron absorption from the intestine by administering specific iron chelating agents, which can bind iron to form nonabsorbable complexes. based on this strategy, a series of polymeric ligands containing the chelating moiety 3-hydroxypyridin-4-on...

this study aims to investigate and optimize the effects of the main parameters including the particle size, gravity and magnetic separation combination, high gradient magnetic separation, magnetic field intensity, shaking table slope, washing water flow, and electrostatic separation upon the rare earth element (ree) recoveries from iron mine waste. the electron microprobe showed that high amoun...

in this paper a new method is proposed for interpretation of 2d magnetic data, using multiples of the analytic signal method, in which the analytic signal of magnetic anomaly is used directly to compute the depth and the structural index of the source instead of using its higher order derivatives. this method only needs the computation of the first order derivatives of the magnetic anomaly, so ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background: thalassemia is an inherited disorder in which repeated blood transfusion is needed. this causes accumulation of iron in various organs. silymarin is a natural medicinal plant that has been used for centuries in the treatment of liver depositions. in this study, magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of liver, which h...

Previous authors have shown that the transverse relaxivity R(2)* and frequency shifts that characterize gradient echo signal decay in magnetic resonance imaging are closely associated with the distribution of iron and myelin in the brain's white matter. In multiple sclerosis, iron accumulation in brain tissue may reflect a multiplicity of pathological processes. Hence, iron may have the unique ...

Measuring iron content in the brain has important implications for a number of neurodegenerative diseases. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), derived from magnetic resonance images, has been used to measure total iron content in vivo and in post mortem brain. In this paper, we show how magnetic susceptibility from QSM correlates with total iron content measured by X-ray fluorescence (XR...

in this work, we report synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles at room temperature using microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ctab as cationic surfactant and butanol as a cosurfactant. silica surface modification of the as prepared nanoparticles was performed by adding tetraethoxysilane teos to alkaline medium. the struct...

Pathological iron deposits in the brain, especially within basal ganglia, are linked to severe neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease. As iron induces local changes in magnetic susceptibility, its presence can be visualized with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The usual approach, based on iron induced changes in magnetic relaxation (T2/T2'), is often prone, however, to confoundi...
