Nanoparticles have emerged as versatile tools in the realm of thermal therapy, offering precise control and feedback mechanisms for targeted treatments. This review explores the intersection of nanotechnology and thermal therapy, focusing on the utilization of nanoparticles for image-guided interventions and temperature monitoring. Starting with an exploration of local temperature dynamics compared to whole-body responses, we delve into the landscape of nanomaterials and their pivotal role in nanomedicine.

- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is linked to sleep issues like insomnia and sleep-disordered breathing, prompting a study on ALS patients' sleep characteristics and their connection to lung function and survival predictors.
- A retrospective study involving 35 ALS patients found decreased sleep efficiency, partially preserved lung function, and a notable link between lung health and REM sleep percentage.
- Key findings indicated that normal REM sleep and a respiratory disturbance index (RDI) of 15 or more per hour were independent survival predictors, while better lung function correlated with improved sleep quality and survival rates.
This review focuses on the green synthesis methods, challenges, and applications of manganese oxide (MnO) nanoparticles investigated in the past five years. MnOnanoparticles offer some unique properties that are attributed in part to the presence of mixed oxidation states of manganese (i.e.

Through a systematic review of the existing literature, we aim to elucidate the connections between insomnia, sleep duration, cardiovascular factors, and ischemic stroke onset. We searched databases, including MEDLINE, SciELO, Scopus, and Science Direct, using an adapted PICO framework.

- Wolfram syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that progresses over time and is marked by symptoms like diabetes mellitus, optic nerve atrophy, deafness, and neurological issues.
- Diagnosis usually involves clinical assessment and genetic testing, but there are currently no cures or ways to slow the disease's progression.
- A case study of a 23-year-old male highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of complications such as breathing problems and swallowing difficulties, which can enhance the quality of life for affected individuals.
