The invention provides a method of magnetic resonance imaging of regional blood oxygenation which comprises administering into the vasculature of a vascularized human or non-human animal subject a Tblood pool contrast agent, detecting a magnetic resonance signal from at least part of the vasculature of said subject into which said contrast agent distributes, and manipulating said signal to generate an indication of the partial pressure of oxygen (pO) in at least part of said vasculature.

Method of magnetic resonance imaging

An aqueous composition suitable for use as a high-retention sanitizer, especially on irregular and/or non-horizontal surfaces and surfaces on which water does not readily spread, a method for sanitizing a surface using the composition, and kits comprising components of the composition. The composition contains an organic peracid, preferably peracetic acid, or other antimicrobial agent, and a retention aid. The retention aid preferably is provided as a concentrate for admixture with the antimicrobial agent at point of use and comprises a mixture of a non-ionic surfactant, an ionic surfactant, and optionally a water-soluble magnesium ion source; or a mixture of a biopolymer thickening agent and at least one surfactant, and optionally a water-soluble magnesium ion source. In either retention aid, the magnesium ion source stabilizes foams formed from the retention aids in hard water and maintains retention aidconcentrates in a liquid state at room temperature if one of the surfactants is sodium lauryl sulfate, or magnesium lauryl sulfate or mixture thereof. The composition is preferably applied as a foam to the surface of the object to be sanitized.

High retention sanitizer systems

The invention relates to MR contrast media containing composite nanoparticles, preferably comprising a superparamagnetic iron oxide core provided with a coating comprising an oxidatively cleaved starch coating optionally together with a functionalized polyalkyleneoxide which serves to prolong blood residence.
