Tricuspid valve endocarditis following central venous cannulation: The increasing problem of catheter related infection

A central venous catheter (CVC) is inserted for measurement of haemodynamic variables, delivery of nutritional supplements and drugs and access for haemodialysis and haemofiltration.Catheterization and maintenance are common practices and there is more to the technique than routine placement as evident when a procedure-related complication occurs.M

Toxicity assessment of silica coated iron oxide nanoparticles and biocompatibility improvement by surface engineering.

We have studied in vitro toxicity of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) coated with a thin silica shell (Fe3O4/SiO2 NPs) on A549 and HeLa cells.We compared bare and surface passivated Fe3O4/SiO2 NPs to evaluate the effects of the coating on the particle stability and toxicity.NPs cytotoxicity was investigated by cell viability, membrane integrity, mito
