What to use instead of NICE Evidence Search - a first thought
I have been promoting NICE Evidence Search much more systematically this year to " my " first year undergraduates in their first library session. It is also on the resource lists I ' ve made for each of their courses. I like the idea that there is one source, where all the results have been evaluated by health information professionals, and I ' ve suggested it ' s a good first place to search for any health topic. But NICE Evidence Search is closing at the end of March 2022. So what to use instead?NICE Evidence Search has two lists of sources, one of sites where some of the content is...

What to use instead of NICE Evidence Search - some recommendations (sort of)
In an earlier post I searched NICE Evidence Search (closing at the end of March 2022) and then a number of other sources to see which other sources would find the material.I found 27 results (vertigo epley was the search) in NICE Evidence Search. 5 were systematic reviews from DARE, which I decided I was not too worried about, as DARE has not been updated for some timeThen there were results from PubMed, Cochrane, BestBets, CKS, four health organisations, Patient.info, NICE and the Royal Australian College of GPs.SearchingCochraneitself found one more Cochrane review than NICE Evidence Search did. So, more...

Anti-Dengue Activity of ZnO Nanoparticles of Crude Fucoidan from Brown Seaweed S.marginatum
Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2022 May 19. doi: 10.1007/s12010-022-03966-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDengue fever is a rapidly spreading infection that affects people all over the tropics and subtropics, posing a significant public health threat. The brown seaweed Stoechospermum marginatum was found all over the world, from South Africa (Indian Ocean) to Australia (Pacific Ocean), among other places. In India, it is only available along the coast of the Bay of Bengal, which is a small region. Various metal oxides were proved to be successful in the formation of nanoparticles and zinc is one among them. In this present stud...

Infodemiology of autoimmune encephalitis, autoimmune seizures, and autoimmune epilepsy: An analysis of online search behavior using Google Trends
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed an uptrend in the online search interest on autoimmune encephalitis, autoimmune seizures, and autoimmune epilepsy over time, which may reflect the increased awareness of the condition by the public and the medical community. Information on online health information-seeking behavior may be obtained from Google Trends data despite its limitations.PMID:35623205 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2022.108730

Enhanced MRI-guided radiotherapy with gadolinium-based nanoparticles: preclinical evaluation with an MRI-linac
ConclusionsNovel nano-enhanced radiotherapy with gadolinium-containing nanoparticles is ideally suited for implementation on an MRI-linac, allowing a workflow with time-of-treatment imaging. Live irradiations using this treatment workflow, carried out for the first time at the Australian MRI-linac, confirm the safety and feasibility of performing MRI-guided radiotherapy with AGuIX® nanoparticles. Follow-up studies are needed to demonstrate on an MRI-linac the radiation enhancement effects previously shown with conventional radiotherapy.

Are Australians concerned about nanoparticles? A comparative analysis with established and emerging environmental health issues.
CONCLUSIONS: Current public concern over the risks of nanoparticles is low. However, a reframing of the issue towards 'chemicals' is likely to have a negative effect on risk perceptions. This paper raises questions about appropriate channels for the effective communication of risk.

Magnetic Nanoparticles Pull Cancer Biomarkers from Whole Blood
MicroRNA molecules are short RNA strings that bind to certain messenger RNAs, in the process blocking messenger RNAs from being translated to create new proteins. When microRNAs aren’t operating properly, cancer may be the cause, but this conne...

Understanding the Polymer Rearrangement of pH-Responsive Nanoparticles
Nayeleh Deirram, Sarah S. Kermaniyan, Angus P. R. Johnston, Georgina K. Such
To develop a greater understanding of the dynamic nature of polymeric systems, pH-responsive nanoparticles were labelled with fluorescent dyes and then mixed with unlabelled nanoparticles. It was shown that the fluorescence intensity of the labelled nanoparticles remained constant at physiological pH (pH 7.4), suggesting limited migration of polymers between different nanoparticles.

Flow-based assembly of nucleic acid-loaded polymer nanoparticles
Zeyan Xu, Joshua McCarrol, Martina H. Stenzel Treatment of diseases using nucleic acid-based approaches is of increasing importance. However, these drugs need to be delivered in nanoparticles to ensure high bioavailability. To ensure the formation of well-defined nanoparticles, flow assembly is increasingly employed. In this review, we map the pathways to nucleic acid-loaded polymer-based nanoparticles prepared by flow.

Australian Authorities Regret the ‘Unacceptable’ End to MH370 Search
(SYDNEY) – Australian authorities said they deeply regret not finding missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and the ongoing mystery is “unacceptable,” in their final report on the unsuccessful search which was published on Tuesday.
“The reasons for the loss of MH370 cannot be established with certainty until the aircraft is found,” the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said in the report.
“It is almost inconceivable and certainly societally unacceptable in the modern aviation era… for a large commercial aircraft to be missing and for the world not to know with certainty wh...
