This review discusses the potential utility of broad based use of magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic imaging for human epilepsy and seizure localization. The clinical challenges are well known to the epilepsy community, intrinsic in the variability of location, volumetric size and network extent of epileptogenic tissue in individual patients. The technical challenges are also evident, with high performance requirements in multiple steps, including magnet homogeneity, detector performance, sequence design, speed of acquisition in addition to large territory spectral processing. We consider how MR spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging has been informative for epilepsy thus far, with specific attention to what is measured, the interpretation of such measurements and technical performance challenges. Examples are shown from medial temporal lobe and neocortical epilepsies are considered from 4T, 7T and most recently 3T.

Maize (Zea mays L.) performs highly efficient C photosynthesis by dividing photosynthetic metabolism between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. In vivo physiological measurements are indispensable for C photosynthesis research as photosynthetic activities are easily interrupted by leaf section or cell isolation.

Lanthanide(III) complexes with two-photon absorbing antennas are attractive for microscopy imaging of live cells because they can be excited in the NIR. We describe the synthesis and luminescence and imaging properties of two Eu complexes, and , with (-carbazolyl)-aryl-alkynyl-picolinamide and (-carbazolyl)-aryl-picolinamide antennas, respectively, conjugated to the TAT cell-penetrating peptides. Contrary to what was previously observed with related Eu complexes with carbazole-based antennas in a mixture of water and organic solvents, these two complexes show very low emission quantum yield (Φ < 0.

A bio-fabrication approach is a novel way to develop chitosan-stabilized magnesium oxide nanomaterials (cMgO-NMs). The process involves utilizing polymeric chitosan as the reducing and stabilizing agent. The characteristics of the developed cMgO-NMs were determined using various spectroscopical techniques.
