Global, regional, and national age-sex specific all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 240 causes of death, 1990-2013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013

Mohsen Naghavi, +731 more
- 10 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) as discussed by the authors, the authors used the GBD 2010 methods with some refinements to improve accuracy applied to an updated database of vital registration, survey, and census data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 301 acute and chronic diseases and injuries in 188 countries, 1990-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013

Theo Vos, +689 more

TL;DR: In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) as mentioned in this paper, the authors estimated the quantities for acute and chronic diseases and injuries for 188 countries between 1990 and 2013.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoparticles in photodynamic therapy.

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling study of the response of the immune system to chemotherapy and its applications in the context of central nervous system disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo photodynamic therapy using upconversion nanoparticles as remote-controlled nanotransducers

TL;DR: This work used mesoporous-silica–coated upconversion fluorescent nanoparticles (UCNs) as a nanotransducer to convert deeply penetrating near-infrared light to visible wavelengths and a carrier of photosensitizers to demonstrate in vivo PDT efficacy with the dual-photosensitizer approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoparticles in photodynamic therapy: an emerging paradigm.

TL;DR: A functional classification for nanoparticles in PDT is introduced to divide them into passive carriers and active participants in photosensitizer excitation, and these active or second-generation PDT nanoparticles probably offer the best hope for extending the reach of PDT to regions deep in the body.
