“…Despite this feat, the use of HIFU-SPIONs mediated heating has been developing relatively slower than other applications such as MRI, or magnetothermal therapy. Even though HIFU is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved method for the treatment of various diseases [196][197][198][199], there are still challenges that are associated with the use of SPIONs. These include the effective delivery of stable SPIONs into the target area of the tumor.…”

Magnetic nanoparticles, especially superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs), have attracted tremendous attention for various biomedical applications. Facile synthesis and functionalization together with easy control of the size and shape of SPIONS to customize their unique properties, have made it possible to develop different types of SPIONs tailored for diverse functions/applications. More recently, considerable attention has been paid to the thermal effect of SPIONs for the treatment of diseases like cancer and for nanowarming of cryopreserved/banked cells, tissues, and organs. In this mini-review, recent advances on the magnetic heating effect of SPIONs for magnetothermal therapy and enhancement of cryopreservation of cells, tissues, and organs, are discussed, together with the non-magnetic heating effect (i.e., high Intensity focused ultrasound or HIFU-activated heating) of SPIONs for cancer therapy. Furthermore, challenges facing the use of magnetic nanoparticles in these biomedical applications are presented.

“…Its practicality and reliability depend directly on the completeness and validity of the data contained therein. [ 32 33 34 35 36 ] Since the most effective design for a new registry is web based,[ 37 ] the registry framework in this study has also been web-based, offering a cost-effective alternative to paper-based disease tracking. The web-based application was compatible with the workflow of HTN visit, and it is very easy to use in terms of data entry and requesting reports.…”

BACKGROUND: Hypertension (HTN) has become a major public health problem which can cause serious complications when it is not well-controlled. Prevention and effective care of HTN require a population-based registry. Thus, establishing this registry can be used to collect comprehensive, timely, and reliable data on epidemiology cases. The aim is to create a registry for the collection of highly required prospective data that will present an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of all individuals with HTN and track them over a particular chronological interval. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was divided into three phases: At first, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to determine the proposed data classes and data fields. Then, the final minimum data set was designed by a two-round Delphi consensus approach of 20 experts of cardiologists, nephrologists, nutritionist, and health information management. Finally, a web-based registry system was developed by a Structured Query Language environment. RESULTS: A total of two clinical and nonclinical data categories with nine data classes and 68 data fields were selected for their inclusion in the registry following the consensus phase. A web-based registry was designed with a modular and layered architecture. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides an appropriate information infrastructure for active tracing and monitoring of individuals with HTN. It has provided a practical information system allowing quality improvement, aggregate reporting for planning, and research purposes.

“…The Delphi approach is widely accepted and used to gain consensus among a panel of experts [9] and has previously been used in various specialties including vascular surgery [10][11][12][13][14]. An extensive literature review was conducted to identify indicators of quality upon studies on PAD.…”
