Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare retinal and optic disc functions as well as vascular structures in dominant eyes (DE) and non-dominant eyes (NDE) among healthy adults using pattern electroretinogram (PERG), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) tests.
Methods: Seventy-two eyes of 36 healthy subjects with bilateral visual acuity of 1.0 were included.

Measurement of antibody and antibody fusion protein concentration is vital for process development and manufacturing. Continuous, in-line monitoring of antibody concentration could be useful in a variety of applications, such as controlling the loading of protein A columns to prevent breakthrough, monitoring bioreactor titer, and detecting leaks past ultrafiltration/diafiltration membranes. Molecule-specific monitoring techniques are advantageous for antibody detection in cell culture fluid in the presence of complex process impurities.

Background: In 4D dynamic contrast-enhanced dedicated breast computed tomography (4D DCE-bCT), the functional properties of the breast will be characterized by monitoring the uptake and washout of iodine-based contrast agents over time. This information could be valuable in breast cancer treatment. However, prior to clinical implementation, it is crucial to validate the quantitative estimates of iodine concentrations at each time point during acquisition.

Optical fibre sensors have the potential to be overly sensitive and responsive, making them useful in various applications to detect the presence of pollutants in the environment, toxic gasses, or pesticides in soil. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as biopolymer active surfaces for fibre sensors can be designed to detect specific molecules or compounds accurately. In the article, we propose to use an optical fibre taper and DNA complex with surfactant-based sensors to offer a promising approach for gas detection, including ammonia solution, 1,4 thioxane, and trimethyl phosphate imitating hazardous agents.

Continuous in-line detection and process monitoring are essential for industrial, analytical, and biomedical applications. Lightweight, highly flexible, and low-cost fiber optics enable the construction of compact and robust hand-held devices forchemical and biological species analysis in both industrial and biomedical/detection. Despite the broad range of fiber-optic based applications, we lack a good understanding of the parameters that govern the efficiency of light collection or the sensitivity of detection.
