On the basis of the physical properties of magnetic fluids a new technique of whole-body hyperthermia is proposed. Subdomain dextran stabilized magnetite particles injected into the blood-stream can be efficiently heated using an external high-frequency magnetic field, which allows rapid and controllable delivery of heat to the patient's blood, which may be useful for the treatment of cancer and AIDS.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006979	Hyperthermia, Induced	Abnormally high temperature intentionally induced in living things regionally or whole body. It is most often induced by radiation (heat waves, infra-red), ultrasound, or drugs.

D000163	Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome	An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
