Article Synopsis
- The study presents a new data acquisition method that uses three adjustable gates to improve the resolution of rapid lifetime imaging in upconversion photoluminescence, addressing limitations of existing techniques.
- This method allows for the visualization of capillary networks and pH mapping in mouse brain vasculature by utilizing enhanced brightness from specific nanoparticles.
- Results show a high accuracy in fluorescence duration measurements, making it a fast and effective solution for multiplex brain imaging compared to traditional methods.
Article Synopsis
- The tumor microenvironment (TME) is crucial for understanding cancer progression and responses to immunotherapy, with optical imaging techniques providing noninvasive insights into immune cell interactions within the TME.
- This review evaluates the advancement of optical imaging technologies, like fluorescence imaging (FLI), bioluminescence imaging (BLI), and photoacoustic imaging (PAI), in monitoring immunotherapy and their potential for clinical applications.
- Results show that these imaging modalities can effectively track immune cell activity and drug delivery in the TME, suggesting that combining them with immunotherapy could enhance treatment monitoring and patient outcomes.

Pak J Med Sci
January 2020
Objective: To investigate gender role in quality of life, anxiety, and depression in chronic kidney disease patients. The study hypothesized that men will score high on depression and, anxiety and will score low on quality of life and perceived social support as compare to women.
Methods: One hundred patients with chronic kidney diseases were selected using purposive sampling strategy from nephrology ward of Leady Reading Hospital, Peshawar.
