Some drug regimens, such as those designed to eliminate tumors, are notorious for nasty side effects. Unwanted symptoms are often the result of medicine going where it鈥檚 not needed and harming healthy cells. To minimize this risk, researchers in Quebec have developed nanoparticles that only release a drug when exposed to near-infrared light, which doctors could beam onto a specific site. Their report appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Now, an international team of researchers led by McMaster University in collaboration with the Research Institute of the 香蕉视频 Health Centre has found that soap and water is actually less effective than just using saline water.
The findings, which were published in the New England Journal of Medicine, could lead to significant cost savings, particularly in developing countries where open fractures are particularly common.

芦 La demande 茅tait pas mal corpo au d茅but,聽禄聽says Alain Farah with a laugh. He is anything but. Farah teaches in the department of French languages and literature at McGill. He鈥檚 also the author of a novel called Pourquoi Bologne that came out in French in 2013 and appeared in English in 2015 under the title Ravenscrag. The work tells a fractured, spinning kind of story about a writer called Alain Farah who works at McGill in 1962 and in 2012. In the novel, there are episodes, both in 1962 and 2012, where the character Alain Farah wanders around the McGill campus, clearly in bad shape.
