In the past few years extensive attention has turned toward optical biopsy, because of its ability to perform noninvasive, real time and accurate diagnosis of tissue pathologies, especially precancer. Fluorescence spectroscopy is one of a series of techniques widely developed for optical biopsy, and can be generally divided into two categories: fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging. This paper reviews the applications of autofluorescence and exogenous fluorescence to optical biopsy, and the principle and advantages as well as the clinic applications of various steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging techniques. Furthermore, the development perspectives of optical biopsy by using fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging are also briefly discussed.

Unlabelled: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often co-occur. Developmental stages significantly influence the variations in brain alterations. However, whether ASD comorbid with ADHD (ASD + ADHD) represents a unique neural characteristic from ASD without comorbid ADHD (ASD-alone), or instead manifests a shared neural correlate associated with ASD across diverse age cohorts remain unclear.

The prefibrotic phase of primary myelofibrosis (pre-PMF) represents a distinct subentity within the spectrum of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Consensus Classification (ICC). Pre-PMF is characterized by unique morphological, clinical, and molecular features, distinguishing it from essential thrombocythemia (ET) and overt myelofibrosis (overt-PMF). The diagnostic process for pre-PMF relies on bone marrow histology, identification of molecular mutations and exclusion of other myeloid neoplasms.

Deuterium (H) and phosphorus (P) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are complementary methods for evaluating tissue metabolism noninvasively in vivo. Combined H and P MRS would therefore be of interest for various applications, from cancer to diabetes. Loop coils are commonly used in X-nuclei studies in the human body for both transmit and receive.

Introduction: Machine learning (ML) helps diagnose the mild cognitive impairment-Alzheimer's disease (MCI-AD) spectrum. However, ML is fed with data unavailable in standard clinical practice. Thus, we tested a novel multi-step ML approach to predict cognitive worsening.

Transmission electron microscopy can be used for the characterisation of a wide range of thin specimens, but soft matter and aqueous samples such as gels, nanoparticle dispersions, and emulsions will dry out and collapse under the microscope vacuum, therefore losing information on their native state and ultimately limiting the understanding of the sample. This study examines commonly used techniques in transmission electron microscopy when applied to the characterisation of cryogenically frozen Pickering emulsion samples. Oil-in-water Pickering emulsions stabilised by 3 to 5 nm platinum nanoparticles were cryogenically frozen by plunge-freezing into liquid ethane to retain the native structure of the system without inducing crystallisation of the droplet oil cores.
