Targeted drug delivery or site-specific drug delivery system has the potential to increase local drug concentrations and thereby increase the effectiveness of the medicines with fewer side effects. Liver diseases especially liver cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers, with a high mortality. Due to high toxicity and poor specificity of the chemotherapeutic agents the present method of trea...

Kendra’s primary objective is to test the hypothesis that metadata can be used not only to increase searching effectiveness on the Internet, but also to determine optimisation parameters in internet data distribution and delivery systems. Specifically, we are developing a layered metadata reference model to describe multi-media entertainment data and the architectures supporting it. Further, we...

Ultrasound has received less attention than other imaging modalities for molecular imaging, but has a number of potential advantages. It is cheap, widely available and portable. Using Doppler methods, flow information can be obtained easily and non-invasively. It is arguably the most physiological modality, able to image structure and function with less sedation than other modalities. This mean...

background : the measuring serum ferritin level as a sensitive inflammatory biomarker might effectively predict preterm delivery, but the power and the best cut-off point of this biomarker for predicting preterm labor in iranian population has not been substantially identified. our purpose was to determine what concentrations of serum ferritin could identify patients at risk for preterm deliver...

Topical drug delivery system faced many problems like poor permeability, skin irritation, allergic reactions etc. The new developed colloidal system called nanosponge has potential to overcome these problems. Nanosponge are tiny sponges having size of about a virus and can easily penetrate through skin. Nanosponge play vital role in targeting drug delivery in a controlled manner. Both lipophili...
