“…The penetration of magnetic fields through human tissue and the ability to remotely detect or manipulate magnetic materials has been investigated for use in medicine for centuries [35]. One of the more recent and significant applications of these properties has been in MRI as a non-invasive imaging modality capable of providing high resolution anatomical images.…”

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) possess unique magnetic properties and the ability to function at the cellular and molecular level of biological interactions making them an attractive platform as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and as carriers for drug delivery. Recent advances in nanotechnology have improved the ability to specifically tailor the features and properties of MNPs for these biomedical applications. To better address specific clinical needs, MNPs with higher magnetic moments, non-fouling surfaces, and increased functionalities are now being developed for applications in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant tumors, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disease. Through the incorporation of highly specific targeting agents and other functional ligands, such as fluorophores and permeation enhancers, the applicability and efficacy of these MNPs have greatly increased. This review provides a background on applications of MNPs as MR imaging contrast agents and as carriers for drug delivery and an overview of the recent developments in this area of research.

“…5 Magnetic bracelets have been used as a ''cure'' for arthritis since the beginning of the Common Era. 6 Some literature shows that participants who wear commercially available magnetic devices experience significantly improved pain outcomes compared with those who receive control devices. [7][8][9] In Korea, many older people who are oriented toward Oriental medicine wear magnetic bracelets to improve their health conditions and reduce musculoskeletal pain.…”

We describe an unusual presentation of lymphedema due to constriction of the left upper extremity in a 71-year-old woman. The patient reported an onset of left upper extremity swelling 6 months prior to presentation, after she slept wearing a magnetic health bracelet. However, she was not accurately diagnosed until she visited our department. The diagnostic workup included a history and laboratory and radiologic findings, which were all normal except for the swollen upper extremity and findings on lymphoscintigraphy. She was diagnosed as suffering from chronic lymphedema due to constriction that only affected her left arm. She underwent complete decongestive therapy and achieved mild improvement of her swelling.

“…The use of electromagnetic fields in the healing arts dates back as far as the fifteenth century, although the magnetic effects of "lodestone" were first described by the shepherd Magnes circa 1000 BCE in the region known today as Turkey [6]. In the 18 th century, Mesmer began treating hysteria and other disorders (today recognized to be psychosomatic in origin) with lodestones [6].…”

In this research, we modeled MHD third grade blood flow in a stenosed artery. The blood viscosity and the density have been modeled into the shear thinning/thickening parameters, the most important rheological properties of blood. We used regular perturbation method and obtained the flow characteristics such as the flow velocity, the volume flow rate, the shear stress and the resistance to the flow considering a single layered stenosed artery. The results however showed that there is significant increase in volume flow rate and the velocity with increase in the magnetic field intensity H and the shear thinning Λ and reduces with increase in the shear thickening Ω.
