The main aim deals with the eradication of cancer cells by providing a steady, possible method of destroying and curing the cancer in an efficient and safe way so that healthy cells are not affected in any manner. This technology also focuses on a main idea that the patient is not affected by cancer again. The purpose of using the RF signal is to save normal cells.
This presentation is related to cancer treatment and involvement of the nanotechnology in cancer research. This has different nanotechnology-related delivery information.
Multimodality Molecular Imaging – An Overview With Special Focus on PET/CTApollo Hospitals
Imaging capabilities have evolved from those that provide anatomical pictures to those that capture functional information and, more recently, molecular information (nuclear medicine, PET, SPECT, PET/CT, SPECT/CT, MRS, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging). Multimodality imaging has emerged as a technology that utilizes the strengths of different modalities and yields a hybrid imaging platform with benefits superior to those of any of its individual components, considered alone. Leading edge hybrid imaging (combining multiple, complementary imaging technologies such as PET and CT) offer unique opportunities to “view” the molecular biology of disease, and the use of this equipment is on the rise.
A nanometer is a billionth of a meter
It's difficult to imagine anything so small, but think of
something only 1/80,000 the width of a human hair
Ten hydrogen atoms could be laid side-by- side in a single nanometer.
Nanotechnology is the creation of useful materials, devices, and systems through the manipulation of matter on this miniscule scale
There are many interesting nanodevices being developed that have a potential to improve cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment
Electronics and computational techniques are increasingly being used to analyze biological cells to diagnose diseases and develop methodologies to cure diseases inside the body. One such technology is ‘Nanotechnology’. The paper emphasizes on the best and effective utilization of Nanotechnology in the treatment of cancer. The design of nano device is based on the constant study of cancer cells and nanotechnology.
The nano device is injected to the patient which can travel through blood vessel, identify and destroy cancer cells. The system is fully automated whereby the device manages to move to the affected cells through certain algebraic calculations automatically wherever it might be placed. This would be loaded into a simple microprocessor like 8085 and can be embedded along with the nano device for automatic discovery of cancer cells. Manual guidance and monitoring is done to control the device explicitly, further more command signals are activated automatically or manually to destroy the affected cells through RF signals. The theme is based on the fact that the cancer cells get destroyed on exposure to RF signals, due to high heat generation.
In our paper we design a device that contains sensors, transceivers, motors and a processor which are made up of biodegradable compound. No more destruction of healthy cells due to harmful toxins and radiations generated through chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Electronics and computational techniques are increasingly being used to analyze biological cells to diagnose diseases, and develop methodologies to cure the diseases inside the human body.

“...Ouve, Israel, o SENHOR, nosso Deus, é o único SENHOR...” (Dt 6.4).
[Shemá Israel (שמע ישראל; "Ouça Israel") são as duas primeiras palavras da seção da Torá que constitui a profissão de fé central do monoteísmo judaico no qual se diz שמע ישראל י-ה-ו-ה אלוהינו י-ה-ו-ה אחד (Shemá Yisrael Ado-nai Elohêinu Ado-nai Echad - Escuta ó Israel, Ado-nai nosso Deus é Um).
This the power point presentation I made and used for my presentation in History of Math. Pardon me for not being able to cite ALL of my references through out the presentation. (one day I will). It is not detailed and perfect, but I am hoping that in a way, it may help you a hint on where to start to study about him and his works.
Information known about his life and SOME of his contributions will be found in this books. I merely focused on his first book, liber abbaci, so if you wish to see more of his contributions, look out for his other writings. (there are lots of articles online about him, just look for them and read them)
Fibonacci, the most famous mathematician from Pisa, Italy during the medieval period, is the man behind the fibonacci sequence and the popularization of the Hindu-Arabic Numeral System to Europe. Learn some things about him and his contributions through this.
Thank you :)

Radiation Oncology in 21st Century - Changing the ParadigmsApollo Hospitals
Since its inception radiation therapy has been used as one of
the essential treatment options in the management of malignant and some benign tumors. With better understanding of tumor biology many new molecules have been added to the armamentarium of an oncologist. There is continuous improvement in surgical techniques with more emphasis on minimally invasive, organ- and function-preserving techniques. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without addition of radiation therapy has helped surgeon downsizing the tumor and obtaining clearer margins.
This is again one of the mini report in series to the reports that we publish for M.Tech and B.Tech students. Any one who is interested can approach us quickly from this report
Nanotechnology for cancer therapy recent developmentsroshan telrandhe
This paper is an overview of advances and prospects in applications of nanotechnology for cancer treatment. Nanotechnology is an use for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. nanotechnology offers a promise for the targeted delivery of drugs, genes and protein to tumer tissue and therefore alleviating the toxicity of anticancer agent in healthy tissues. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Nanotechnology is one of the most rapidly growing fields in the 21st centuryThese mainly include arrays of nanocantilevers, nanotubes and nanowires for multiplexing detection, multifunctional injectable nanovectors for therapeutics and diagnostics. This article review current nanotechnology platforms for anticancer drug delivery, including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, dendrimers, nanoshells, nuclear acid base nanoparticle [DNA, RNA interference (RNAi), and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) ] The review increases awarnes of advantages in cancer therapy
Gold Nanoparticles provides target specific drug delivery which ensures proper potency of the cytotoxic drug with minimal side effects as compared to other traditional methods of chemotherapy administration
1. NANOPARTICLES FOR
CANCER THERAPY
Tuning Their Shape, Size, and Material using Computer Simulations
Kaspar Haume, Department of Physical Sciences, Open University
This project is part of the ARGENT consortium - a Marie Curie funded international project
with a total of 13 early stage researchers across Europe working together with academia and
industry.

THE PROBLEM
More than 50% of all cancer patients receive ra-
diotherapy which largely means X-ray therapy.
X-rays kill cells by the deposition of energy
(the “dose”) into the cells, but unfortunately
these X-rays also damage healthy cells.
Furthermore, radiation is introduced from
many angles to increase the dose on the tu-
mor leading to irradiation of much more
healthy tissue than strictly necessary - this
can be detrimental, especially for brain tum-
ors (see image).
Therefore what is needed is a new therapy
that allows more targeted application of the radi-
ation to reduce damage to healthy cells.
THE SOLUTION
Nanoparticles (particles less than 10 nanometres wide) have been
shown to increase the effect of the radiation. This means that less
radiation can be used while still achieving the same therapeutic ef-
fect.
Less overall radiation => less damage to healthy tissue !
Nanoparticles are regarded as the next
generation of radiotherapy agents,
but the method by which they sen-
sitize radiation is complex and
more research is needed to un-
derstand the process and tailor
the nanoparticles.
MY PROJECT
As part of a large European project (ARGENT) to explore and develop the use of nano-
particles as the next generation radiotherapeutic agents, I am designing computer simula-
tions to simulate the interaction between nanoparticles, radiation, and cells.
I will be using Molecular Dynamics and Density Functional Theory for the simulations.
The goal is to find the best shape, size, and material of nanoparticles that will allow them to be
successfully incorporated into the tumor cells and increase tumor cell death through irradiation by
conventional (X-rays) and next generation radiation (e.g. carbon ions) therapy.
TRUSTING COMPUTERS
A major concern in using computer simulations is whether the
computer model is realistic. Therefore in my project I have to show
that the model matches reality !
The first step is to be sure that the simulation creates realistic-looking nanoparticles.
This is done by modeling the structure of the nanoparticle which in physics par-
lance means computing the most stable energy configuration.
Here, I compare my nanopar-
ticles with those previously
computed and stored in The
Cambridge Cluster Database -
an online collection of optimal
structures of nanoparticles of
different sizes.
A LITTLE EXTRA ON TOP
Nanoparticles can be guided to cancer cells by attaching specific
molecules onto their surface. This also helps avoid strong immune
defense reactions to the nanoparticles.
A key part of the ARGENT project (with experiments being
performed at the OU) is to determine the best molecules to
attach to nanoparticles.
Since experimental trial and error is timely (and
expensive) computer simulations provide
a tool for exploring many different
options. One example, shown here,
is the molecule DTDTPA (an or-
ganic acid) attached to a small
gold nanoparticle.
