A Survey on Battery-Less RFID-Based Wireless Sensors.

We present a survey on battery-less Radio Frequency Identification (RFID-based wireless sensors that have emerged in the past several years. We discuss the evolution of RFID turning into wireless sensors. Moreover, we talk about different components of these battery-less RFID-based wireless sensors, five main topologies that transform a simple RFID chip into a battery-less wireless sensor, and state-of-the-art implementations of these topologies.

Long circulating lipid nanocapsules for drug detoxification.

Uncoated and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-decorated lipid nanocapsules (NC) prepared from medium chain triglycerides were investigated both in vitro and in vivo as parenteral detoxifying colloids for their ability to sequester haloperidol, docetaxel and paclitaxel. In vitro studies showed that the uptake depended on the nature of the drug and the composition of NC core and shell. In the case of haloperidol, maximal affinity was achieved upon incorporation of a complexing fatty acid.
