Characterization of Biological Absorption Spectra Spanning the Visible to the Short-Wave Infrared.
J Vis Exp
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis; Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Washington University in St. Louis;
For noninvasive light-based physiological monitoring, optimal wavelengths of individual tissue components can be identified using absorption spectroscopy. However, because of the lack of sensitivity of hardware at longer wavelengths, absorption spectroscopy has typically been applied for wavelengths in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) range from 400 to 1,000 nm. Hardware advancements in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) range have enabled investigators to explore wavelengths in the ~1,000 nm to 3,000 nm range in which fall characteristic absorption peaks for lipid, protein, and water.

First report of foliar blight of castor bean caused by in Sinaloa, Mexico.

December 2024
Universidad Autónoma de Occidente, CIENCIAS NATURALES Y EXACTAS , Carret. Internacional y Boulevard Macario Gaxiola, S/N, Los Mochis, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, 81200.
Article Synopsis
- Castor bean, known scientifically as Ricinus communis, is grown for its oil and ornamental purposes, particularly for its attractive foliage, and has naturalized in places like Sinaloa, Mexico.
- A 2019 survey found that wild castor bean in Sinaloa was significantly impacted by a foliar blight resembling that caused by the fungus Alternaria ricini, with disease incidence varying between 20% to 60% across different sites.
- Samples collected revealed that long-beaked Alternaria was present in 60% to 70% of the leaf fragments tested, with distinct morphological characteristics aligning with descriptions of A. ricini, indicating a potential link between the disease observed in Sinaloa and previously noted occurrences in the

Article Synopsis
- Dematiaceous molds are dark environmental molds found worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas, with common types including Bipolaris, Cladophialophora, Exophiala, and Alternaria.
- These molds can cause a variety of diseases in both healthy and immunocompromised individuals, leading to issues like skin infections, allergic reactions, pneumonia, and sometimes serious systemic infections.
- Treatment generally involves antifungal medications such as itraconazole, voriconazole, or posaconazole, combined with measures to address the source of infection and reduce immune suppression, while efforts are underway to enhance diagnostic methods and treatment options due to high mortality rates associated with severe cases.
