In the past decade, the synthesis of superparamagnetic nanoparticles has been intensively
developed not only for its fundamental scientific interest but also for many technological …

Nanometric crystals of maghemite are known to exhibit superparamagnetism. Because of the
significance of their magnetic moment, maghemite nanoparticles are exceptional contrast …

The French Society of Intensive Care Medicine (SRLF), jointly with the French-Speaking
Group of Paediatric Emergency Rooms and Intensive Care Units (GFRUP) and the French-…

Background In patients undergoing mechanical ventilation for the acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS), neuromuscular blocking agents may improve oxygenation and decrease …

Evaluating and understanding the performances of magnetic colloids as contrast agents for
MRI requires a theory describing their magnetic interactions with water protons. The field …

Objective: To evaluate the effects of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) on pulmonary
and systemic inflammation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome ventilated …

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate factors influencing short- and long-term
survival in medical patients aged 80 and over following admission to an intensive care unit. …

Here we report on the synthesis of ultrasmall γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles (5 nm) presenting a
very narrow particle size distribution and an exceptionally high saturation magnetization. The …

Ferrite superparamagnetic (SPM) nanoparticles in aqueous suspensions shorten the nuclear
magnetic relaxation of water protons. For transverse relaxation, that effect is enhanced …
