Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) is an emerging Magnetic Resonance technique providing valuable insight into the dynamics of cellular glucose (Glc) metabolism of the human brain in vivo using deuterium-labeled (H) glucose as non-invasive tracer. Reliable concentration estimation of H-Glc and downstream synthesized neurotransmitters glutamate + glutamine (Glx) requires accurate knowledge of relaxation times, but so far tissue-specific T and T relaxation times (e.g.

State Key Laboratory of New Textile Materials and Advanced Processing Technologies, Wuhan Textile University, Wuhan, 430200, China. Electronic address:

Recent advances in wearable electronics have enabled the development of sweat sensors providing valuable information for healthcare monitoring. However, the limitations of sweat sensors are excessive dependence on external detection systems, the impossible to real-time visual signal transmission, and inadequate perspiration management. Herein, a single- and double-layer interwoven fabric (SDIF) is designed to achieve indicators of color visualization with an output of electrical signal and energy supply.

Background: Asthma is a leading cause of children's hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and missed school days. Our school-based asthma intervention has reduced asthma exacerbations for children experiencing health disparities in the Denver Metropolitan Area, due partly to addressing care coordination for asthma and social determinants of health (SDOH), such as access to healthcare and medications. Limited dissemination of school-based asthma programs has occurred in other metropolitan and rural areas of Colorado.
