Optoacoustic (OA) tomography is a powerful noninvasive preclinical imaging tool enabling high resolution whole-body visualization of biodistribution and dynamics of molecular agents. The technique yet lacks endogenous soft-tissue contrast, which often hampers anatomical navigation. Herein, we devise spiral volumetric optoacoustic and ultrasound (SVOPUS) tomography for concurrent OA and pulse-echo ultrasound (US) imaging of whole mice.

Most global glacial OC estimates are based on limited individual flux estimates, often determined during the melt season, rarely accounting for the seasonal and diurnal variability of glacial dissolved organic matter (DOM). Using an annual dataset of 25 Icelandic glaciers (and their glacial streams) we investigate DOM concentration and composition, calculating an estimate for downstream OC fluxes from Icelandic glaciers, considering diurnal and seasonal variability.

- Optoacoustic imaging is a powerful technique for studying blood vessels and blood flow in the brain, surpassing the limitations of traditional optical microscopy in terms of depth and resolution.
- Using copper sulfide (CuS) at the second near-infrared (NIR-II) range improves imaging but presents challenges like low hemoglobin absorption and the need for suitable contrast agents.
- The introduction of CuS nanoparticles enhances blood perfusion imaging in mice, while calcium carbonate microparticles with CuS enable detailed imaging of small blood vessels and measuring blood flow speed.
Objective: The objective of this expert consensus process was to define performance measures that can be used to document remission or long-term progress following lifestyle medicine (LM) treatment.
Methods: Expert panel members with experience in intensive, therapeutic lifestyle change (ITLC) developed a list of performance measures for key disease states, using an established process for developing consensus statements adapted for the topic. Proposed performance measures were assessed for consensus using a modified Delphi process.
Objective: The objective of this expert consensus process was to identify the competencies that lifestyle medicine (LM) Intensivists should be expected to have within their skill set.
Methods: Expert panel members with experience in intensive, therapeutic lifestyle change (ITLC) updated and expanded a previously published set of competencies for this intensive LM practice, using an established process for developing consensus statements adapted for the topic. The previously published set of competencies was discussed for possible revision and expansion.
