Automated robotic-assisted patient positioning method and dosimetric impact analysis for boron neutron capture therapy.

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) represents a revolutionary approach in targeted radiation treatment for cancer. While the therapy's potential in precise targeting is well-recognized, a critical bottleneck remains in the accurate positioning of patients for treatment delivery. This study proposes a novel automated robotic-assisted patient positioning system specifically engineered for BNCT applications.

Evaluation of FeO-MnO@RGO magnetic nanocomposite as an effective persulfate activator and metal adsorbent in aqueous solution.

A reduced graphene oxide (RGO) supported FeO-MnO nanocomposite (FeO-MnO@RGO) was successfully prepared for catalytic degradation of oxytetracycline (20 mg/L) by potassium persulfate (PS) and adsorption removal of mixture of Pb, Cu, and Cd ions (each 0.2 mM) in the synchronous scenario. The removal efficiencies of oxytetracycline, Pb, Cu, and Cd ions were observed as high as 100%, 99.

Identification of Mycoplasma pneumoniae by DNA-modified gold nanomaterials in a colorimetric assay.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a highly infectious bacterium and the major cause of pneumonia especially in school-going children. Mycoplasma pneumoniae affects the respiratory tract, and 25% of patients experience health-related problems. It is important to have a suitable method to detect M.
