Abstract
Magnetic particles in the human body have various effects on the human health, ranging from positive effects in the treatment of diseases, e.g., by a hyperthermia treatment, to negative effects, e.g., on Alzheimer's disease. In the present manuscript a short review is given on these effects of magnetic particles in the human body.
Highlights
Tumors typically possess a more heterogeneous tissue structure than their normal counterparts, and have less regulated or unregulated growth
By the time-oscillating field time-oscillating magnetic hysteresis loops are generated in the magnetic nanoparticles, thereby hysteresis effects generate heat which are deposited to the surrounding tissue, thereby increasing the temperature and producing the hyperthermia effect
Because nanoparticles have many surface or near-surface atoms, the spin-orbit coupling is large at these sites, and this has a great influence on the electronic density of states at the Fermi level and the magnitudes of the magnetostriction constants are much larger than their magnitudes at bulk atoms
Summary
Tumors typically possess a more heterogeneous tissue structure than their normal counterparts, and have less regulated or unregulated growth. A corollary of selective delivery is that the deposited to the healthy cells and tissues must be minimized to avoid cells deleterious side effects. A corollary selective delivery is that the deposited dose to the non-cancer cells must be minimal in order to avoid cell deleterious side effects.
