Oral contraceptives and cancer [PDF]
Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care, 2007 Combination-type oral contraceptives (COCs) reduce the risk of endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, but increase the risk of liver cancer, and may increase the risk of breast cancer and cervical cancer. Analysis of epidemiologic and biologic data on cancers of the breast, endometrium, and ovary suggest that the effects of COCs on cancer rates in ...

Investigation of the minimum uptake time for quantitative jawbone SPECT
BMC Oral HealthBackground The range of imaging times recommended for bone scintigraphy is wide, and uptake times vary across facilities. In our previous quantitative evaluation of jawbone SPECT using [99mTc] Tc-HMDP, we reported that standardized uptake values at the 2-

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A multivalent DNA nanostructure‐enabled lateral flow assay was developed for rapid, ultrasensitive detection of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) nucleocapsid protein. Designer net‐shaped DNA nanostructures (DNA‐Net) presenting PEDV‐specific aptamers achieved ~1000‐fold enhanced binding, enabling detection of viral copies with Ct ≤ 37.42 within 10

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates the M13 bacteriophage as a biomimetic nanovector capable of crossing in vitro models of the blood–brain barrier. By exploiting peculiar transcellular pathways, M13 avoids lysosomal degradation and preserves its structural integrity and functionality.
