Therapeutic ultrasound as a potential male contraceptive: power, frequency and temperature required to deplete rat testes of meiotic cells and epididymides of sperm determined using a commercially available system

Ultrasound has been used in rats to produce a Sperm Count Index of zero. The non-invasive and reversible nature of this treatment makes it a promising candidate for a male contraceptive.

Anterior chest wall inflammation by whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in patients with spondyloarthritis: lack of association between clinical and imaging findings in a cross-sectional study

No association was found between clinical and imaging findings in a study using whole body magnetic resonance imaging to assess anterior chest wall inflammation in patients with spondyloarthritis.

Long-term prognosis of breast cancer detected by mammography screening or other methods

Patients with breast cancer detected in mammography screening have a more favorable prognosis than those diagnosed outside a screening program and this should be taken into account in order to avoid over-treatment of screen-detected patients.

Detection of breast cancer cells using targeted magnetic nanoparticles and ultra-sensitive magnetic field sensors

Antibody-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles and superconducting quantum interference device sensors may provide a useful, viable and highly-sensitive alternative to mammographic screening in breast tumor cell detection.
