Aim: To evaluate oxygenation changes in rat subcutaneous C6 gliomas using blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) combined with non-haemodynamic response function (non-HRF) analysis.
Materials And Methods: BOLD fMRI were performed during carbogen inhalation in 20 Wistar rats bearing gliomas. Statistical maps of spatial oxygenation changes were computed by a dedicated non-HRF analysis algorithm. Three types of regions of interest (ROIs) were defined: (1) maximum re-oxygenation zone (ROI), (2) re-oxygenation zones that were less than the maximum re-oxygenation (ROI), and (3) zones without significant re-oxygenation (ROI). The values of percent BOLD signal change (PSC), percent enhancement (ΔSI), and significant re-oxygenation (T) were extracted from each ROI. Tumours were sectioned for histology using the fMRI scan orientation and were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and CD105. The number of microvessels (MVN) in each ROI was counted. Differences and correlations among the values for T, PSC, ΔSI, and MVN were determined.
Results: After carbogen inhalation, the PSC significantly increased in the ROI areas (p<0.01) located in the tumour parenchyma. No changes occurred in any of the ROI areas (20/20). Some changes occurred in a minority of the ROI areas (3/60) corresponding to tumour necrosis. MVN and PSC (R=0.59, p=0.01) were significantly correlated in the ROI areas. In the ROI areas, MVN was significantly correlated with PSC (R=0.55, p=0.00) and ΔSI (R=0.37, p=0.00).
Conclusions: Statistical maps obtained via BOLD fMRI with non-HRF analysis can assess the re-oxygenation of gliomas.

Recent advances in low-power wireless-capable system-on-chips (SoCs) have accelerated diverse Internet of Things (IoT) applications, encompassing wearables, asset monitoring, and more. Concurrently, the field of neuroimaging has experienced escalating demand for lightweight, untethered, low-power systems capable of imaging in small animals. This article explores the feasibility of using a low-power asset monitoring system as the basis of a new architecture for fluorescence and hemodynamic contrast-based wireless functional imaging.

Introduction: Inhalation of high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO₂) at atmospheric pressure can be toxic with dose-dependent effects on the cardiorespiratory system or the central nervous system. Exposure to both hyperbaric and hypobaric environments can result in decompression sickness (DCS). The effects of CO₂ on DCS are not well documented with conflicting results.

Background: Paediatric convulsive status epilepticus is the most common neurological emergency presenting to emergency departments. Risks of resultant neurological morbidity and mortality increase with seizure duration. If the seizure fails to stop within defined time-windows, standard care follows an algorithm of stepwise escalation to more intensive treatments, ultimately resorting to induction of general anaesthesia and ventilation.

New Findings: What is the central question of this study? We sought to establish between-day reproducibility in estimates of middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in young, healthy male and female adults in tightly controlled experimental conditions. What is the main finding and its importance? Measures of MCAv assessed during morning, afternoon and evening hours are reproducible between days. There is diurnal variation in CVR, with values being highest during the evening compared with the morning.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate retinal and choroidal vascular reactivity to carbogen in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) patients.
Methods: An experimental pilot study including 68 eyes from 20 CSC patients and 14 age and sex-matched controls was performed. The participants inhaled carbogen (5% CO + 95% O) for 2 min through a high-concentration disposable mask.
