The detection of cellular respiration activity is important for the assessment of the status of a biological cell. Due to its non-invasive character and high spatial resolution scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a powerful tool for single cell measurements. Common limitations of respiration studies performed by SECM are discussed and strategies provided to further adapt SECM detection schemes to the specific requirements for the investigation of single cell respiration. In particular the combination of a potential pulse technique in the redox competition mode of SECM with a shearforce-based constant-distance positioning of the SECM tip is proposed for characterising the impact of the tip reaction during SECM imaging. The adjustment of the driving force of the tip reaction and the selection of the time for data acquisition after applying the potential pulse allowed a successful visualization of cell respiration activity.

Background: Many pharmacological treatments are considered effective in the treatment of panic disorder (PD), however, about 20 to 40% of the patients have treatment-resistant PD. Pharmacogenetics could explain why some patients are treatment-resistant.
Objective: Our objective was to gather preliminary data on the clinical usefulness of pharmacogenetic testing in this disorder.

Introduction: Doxorubicin is a chemotherapeutic drug used to treat various cancers. Exercise training (ET) can attenuate some cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin (DOX) in tumor-free animals. However, the ET effects on cardiac function and glucose metabolism in DOX-treated breast cancer models remain unclear.

Background: There is growing interest in developing sensing solutions for remote health monitoring to support the safety and independence of older adults. To ensure these technologies are practical and relevant, people-centred design is essential. This study aims to explore the involvement of various stakeholders across different developmental stages to inform the design and assess the capabilities of unobtrusive sensing solutions being developed as part of the Advanced Care Research Centre (ACRC), Edinburgh, UK.

Heart disease is a significant global health issue. Traditional methods for heart rate monitoring typically require close physical contact, which limits the continuity and convenience of monitoring. To achieve real-time, non-contact heartbeat monitoring, researchers have introduced millimeter-wave radar technology.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a malignancy highly prevalent in East and Southeast Asia, is primarily treated with radiotherapy (RT). However, hypoxia-induced radioresistance presents a significant challenge. Nanozymes, nanomaterials with catalase-like activity, have emerged as a promising strategy for radiosensitization by converting elevated hydrogen peroxide in the tumor microenvironment into oxygen.
