The injection of water beneath liquid diethylene triamine in a glass cuvette leads to an unexpected phase evolution behavior of the two liquids. The space and time dependent developments of the molecular structure and the underlying transport associated with mixing of the two liquids are monitored by optical imaging and scanning Brillouin microscopy. Apparently, results obtained by either experimental technique lead to disparate interpretations. Whereas optical imaging suggests the existence of a two phase structure, which disappears within a few hours, acoustic microscopy indicates the evolution of a more gradually evolving and longer-lived three phase structure. According to molecular acoustics, the transport of diethylene triamine into water and vice versa behaves strongly asymmetric in time. An attempt is made to reconcile the observed optical and acoustic manifestations of the mixing process on the basis of molecular complex formation.

Diagnostic performance of optical spectral transmission compared to magnetic resonance imaging in patients with inflammatory arthritis.
Arthritis Res Ther

Rheumazentrum Ruhrgebiet Herne, Ruhr University Bochum, Herne, Germany.
Background: Optical spectral transmission (OST) is a modern diagnostic method capable of quantifying inflammation in the finger and wrist joints of arthritis patients by assessing the blood-specific absorption of light transmitted through a tissue. The diagnostic performance of this modality has not been adequately examined and data regarding OST associations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are limited. Aim of this study was therefore to investigate the performance of OST in assessing joint inflammation as compared to MRI in patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA).

The incorporation of thermal dynamics alongside conventional optoelectronic principles holds immense promise for advancing technology. Here, we introduce a GaON/GaN heterostructure-nanowire ultraviolet electrochemical cell of observing a photothermoelectric bipolar impulse characteristic. By leveraging the distinct thermoelectric properties of GaON/GaN, rapid generation of hot carriers establishes bidirectional instantaneous gradients in concentration and temperature within the nanoscale heterostructure via light on/off modulation.

In vivo optical imaging holds great potential for surgical guidance with the ability to intraoperatively identify tumor lesions in a surgical bed and navigate their surgical excision in real time. Nevertheless, its full potential remains underexploited, mainly due to the dearth of high-performance optical probes. Herein, hybrid cell membrane-biomimetic near-infrared II surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (NIR-II SERS) probes are reported for intraoperative resection guidance of orthotopic glioblastoma.

Temporal echocardiography image registration is important for cardiac motion estimation, myocardial strain assessments, and stroke volume quantifications. Deep learning image registration (DLIR) is a promising way to achieve consistent and accurate registration results with low computational time. DLIR seeks the image deformation that enables the moving image to be warped to match the fixed image.
