The usefulness of methadone in treating opiate addiction is unquestionable. It is a simple, clean and cheap treatment without any significant side effects. In recent decades, many institutions have written guides and have formulated recommendations advising the
A new three-headed, long-tailed molecular beast eats cancer
We made and tested a series of new compounds containing three chemical rings and hooked them to long carbon tails. These new molecules killed a broad range of pediatric and adult cancer cells including neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, malignant
Interleukin-18: Critical molecule in promoting allergic diseases
First interleukin was discovered in 1977 from monocyte and termed as interleukin (IL)-1. Interleukins are the secreted proteins that bind to their specific receptors with leukocytes. They are recognized as a family of cytokines based on sequence
How to delete the collimator influence on the gamma camera image: HURRA Filter
In this work we describe an easy method to eliminate the high energy collimator artifacts in the planar image of a gamma camera. A Gamma camera is an instrument widely used in nuclear medicine. This is nothing
Has temporary agency work negative effect on well-being?
Over recent decades many workers have been employed with a temporary agency contract. Little is known about the effect of this status on job conditions and workers’ well-being over time. The current study focused on a sample
Gold-silver nanoparticles instead of traditional diabetic drugs
Recently, we have published a pioneering work on green biosynthesis and complete characterization of gold and core shell silver-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs and Ag@AuNPs) via using green biopolymer in the influence of microwave radiation. These synthesized nanoparticles provide
A natural product derived from fatty acids found in nuts and seeds reduce obesity
Obesity is a major worldwide epidemic. In the US, one third of the population is overweight, another third is obese. There are many complications of obesity, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, high blood pressure,

Chloroplast movements after blue light pulses give new insights into the photoreceptor functioning
Plants rely on light as a source of energy. The availability of light is often a limiting factor for the process of photosynthesis. However, too much light can cause cell damage. Plants have numerous mechanisms of adjusting
Biological larviciding against malaria mosquitoes in rural West Africa – A cost analysis
