Treatment options for these patients include observation, hormonal therapy, radical prostatectomy, and radiation therapy. This paper describes our experience in treating 130 patients with stage A2 prostate cancer with combined treatment using implanted radioactive gold seeds and external beam irradiation. ...
Gold nanomaterials have received much attention in sensing due to their unique optical and electronic properties. This article briefly summarized the synthesis, property of gold nanomaterials before focusing on their application to sensing. The synthesis of three major types of gold nanomaterials is discu...
Gold represents a tiny fraction of the elements in the known universe. The reason for its rarity is owed to the incomprehensible amount of energy needed for its formation. Gold is formed in stars, but only in those that are exploding in giantsupernovas, or incredibly dense ones that have c...
The aspect ratios of the gold nanorods can be controlled by varying the amount of gold seeds with respect to the gold precursor. Moreover, gold nanorods can be produced in quan- titative yield with the addition of AgNO3 (Jana et al 2001a, 2002). Besides the methods mentioned above, ...
As a result, the aspect ratios of nanorods (the ratio of the longer side to the shorter side) can be controlled by using different amounts of gold seeds relative to the precursor. Gold nanocages Gold nanocages are hollow nanostructures (particle size ~40–50 nm) which can be ...
Next, we evaluate the crystallographic interface of Fe3O4and Au in the hybrids using atomically resolved HAADF-STEM imaging (Fig.2c). It is directly visible that the Au NPs, acting as seeds in the synthesis, allow for epitaxial growth of Fe3O4on Au forming the Janus structure with Au(...

Localized prostate cancer is frequently treated using this method, which can also be employed alongside other therapeutic interventions [15]. 2. Brachytherapy involves the localized insertion of little radioactive seeds into the prostate to deliver radiation to the tumor as a therapeutic intervention....
