Nanomedicine has the potential to transform healthcare by offering targeted therapies, precise diagnostics, and enhanced drug delivery systems. The National Institutes of Health has coined the term "nanomedicine" to describe the use of nanotechnology in biological system monitoring, control, diagnosis, and treatment. Nanomedicine continues to receive increasing interest for the rationalized delivery of therapeutics and pharmaceutical agents to achieve the required response while reducing its side effects.

We have found three magnetic transitions (at temperatures T, T, and T) in this compound in the zero-field cooled (ZFC) mode, and two magnetic transitions (at T and T) in the field-cooled cooling/warming (FCC/FCW) mode. The ferromagnetic transition (FM) at temperature T indicating hysteresis alludes to a magnetic transition of the first-order (FOT) at lower temperatures.

The alloys crystallize in austenite NiIn-type hexagonal phase (space group: P6/mmc) with insignificant difference in the lattice parameters. MnFeNiGe and MnCoNiGe exhibit spin-glass behavior, resulting from the competing ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions.

However, such data is sparse from Indian sub-continent. The present study evaluated the relationship of EAT as determined by echocardiography to the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).

In broadly inclusive populations, the biodegradable-polymer drug-eluting stents (BPDES) have favourable results compared with DPDES in the long term. However, its use in primary angioplasty has not been adequately studied, and data of real-world clinical experience is lacking.

Design: A comprehensive literature search of multiple databases including Medline, CINAHL, PsychInfo, AARP Ageline, and Sociofile from 1984 to 2005 was performed. This was supplemented by a search of Current Contents and a review of the bibliographies of all relevant articles.
Fitness-to-drive guidelines commonly indicate that persons with mild dementia may be safe to drive but that periodic reevaluation is required. This paper presents the findings of a systematic review of primary evidence regarding the optimal timing of follow-up in persons with mild dementia who continue to drive. A search of Medline, CINAHL, PsychInfo, AARP Ageline, and Sociofile from 1984 to 2005 was performed.
