Diagnosis and treatment all in one: Multifunctional magneto‐polymeric nanohybrids (MMPNs) have been synthesized using ultrasensitive MnFe2O4 nanocrystals, chemotherapeutic agents, and encapsulating amphiphilic block copolymers for targeted detection by MRI and treatment of breast cancer. See the TEM image (left) of an MMPN and T2‐weighted MR images (top row) and color map (bottom row) of the relaxivity R2 for NIH3T6.7 and MDA‐MB‐231 cells.

Near-infrared-light-sensitive multifunctional smart drug-loaded polymer gold nanoshells are fabricated as advanced prototypes, composed of chemotherapeutic agents (therapeutic antibody and anticancer drug-loaded polymeric nanoparticles) for systemic chemotherapy of human epithelial cancer and a polymer-based gold nanoshell for localized photothermal treatment by NIR light.

It seems that the prevalence of OSA by a sleep questionnaire is overestimating OSA in Korean pregnant women. Polysomnography might be needed to diagnose OSA and to evaluate the relationship between OSA and the occurrence of SGA or preeclampsia.
