  • Publication number: 20060067881
    Abstract: Stable isotope labeling and neutron activation to measure biological functions are provided, as are the use and method of adding a chemical monitor to correct for neutron flux to sample vials prior to the addition of sample is presented, and the use of stable isotopes as a chemical bar code for vials and other items. Methods are provided also for measuring glomerular filtration rate and glomerular sieving function in a subject, and for measuring other physiological functions.

  • Publication number: 20060014938
    Abstract: A stable aqueous colloidal lanthanide oxide is provided, which can be sterilized by filtration, gamma irradiation, and autoclaving. The stable colloid is also provided having one or more polymers associated to confer biological properties. Compositions, methods of making the compositions, and methods of using the compositions are provided as agents for enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, enhanced computer tomography, cell labeling and cell-tracking in vivo, neutron capture therapy, and brachytherapy, the agents comprising lanthanide oxides as stable colloidal suspensions in water based solvents.
