The ability of 20-50 nm nanoparticles to target and modulate the biology of specific types of cells will enable major advancements in cellular imaging and therapy in cancer and atherosclerosis. A key challenge is to load an extremely high degree of targeting, imaging, and therapeutic functionality into small, yet stable particles. Herein we report approximately 30 nm stable uniformly sized near-infrared (NIR) active, superparamagnetic nanoclusters formed by kinetically controlled self-assembly of gold-coated iron oxide nanoparticles.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate if nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs could lower the occurrence of atrial fibrillation post-coronary artery bypass graft surgery in patients who had not previously experienced atrial fibrillation.
  • Researchers conducted an open-label, randomized trial with 100 eligible patients, splitting them into two groups: one received ketorolac followed by ibuprofen, while the other group received conventional treatment.
  • Results showed that atrial fibrillation was significantly lower in the ibuprofen group (9.8%) compared to the conventional group (28.6%), indicating that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications can be safe and effective in reducing atrial fibrillation incidence after surgery.
