Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a widely used noninvasive method for measuring human brain activation based on the cerebral haemodynamic response. However, systemic changes can influence the signal's parameters. Our study aimed to investigate the relationships between NIRS signals and skin blood flow (SBF) or blood pressure during dynamic movement. Nine healthy volunteers (mean age, 21.3 ± 0.7 years; 6 women) participated in this study. The oxyhaemoglobin (O2Hb) signal, SBF, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured while the volunteers performed multi-step incremental exercise on a bicycle ergometer, at workloads corresponding to 30, 50, and 70 % of peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) for 5 min. The Pearson's correlation coefficients for the O2Hb signal and SBF at 50 and 70 % VO2peak were 0.877 (P < 0.01) and -0.707 (P < 0.01), respectively. The correlation coefficients for O2Hb and MAP during warm-up, 30 % VO2peak, and 50 % VO2peak were 0.725 (P < 0.01), 0.472 (P < 0.01), and 0.939 (P < 0.01), respectively. Changes in the state of the cardiovascular system influenced O2Hb signals positively during low and moderate-intensity exercise, whereas a negative relationship was observed during high-intensity exercise. These results suggest that the relationship between the O2Hb signal and systemic changes is affected by exercise intensity.

Cognitive impairment refers to the impairment of higher brain functions such as perception, thinking or memory that affects the individual's ability to perform daily or social activities. Studies have found that changes in neuronal activity during tasks in patients with cognitive impairment are closely related to changes in cerebral cortical hemodynamics. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy is an indirect method to measure neural activity based on changes in blood oxygen concentration in the cerebral cortex.

Optical techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), contain high potential for the development of non-invasive wearable systems for evaluating cerebral vascular condition in aging, due to their portability and ability to monitor real-time changes in cerebral hemodynamics. In this study, thirty-six healthy adults were measured by single channel fNIRS to explore differences between two age groups using machine learning (ML). The subjects, measured during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Oulu University Hospital, were divided into young (age ≤ 32) and elderly (age ≥ 57) groups.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has dramatically advanced non-invasive human brain mapping and decoding. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) non-invasively measure blood oxygen fluctuations related to brain activity, like fMRI, at the brain surface, using more-lightweight equipment that circumvents ergonomic and logistical limitations of fMRI. HD-DOT grids have smaller inter-optode spacing (~ 13 mm) than sparse fNIRS (~ 30 mm) and therefore provide higher image quality, with spatial resolution ~ 1/2 that of fMRI, when using the several source-detector distances (13-40 mm) afforded by the HD-DOT grid.

Water quality monitoring is one of the critical aspects of industrial wastewater treatment, which is important for checking the treatment effect, optimizing the treatment technology and ensuring that the water quality meets the standard. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a key indicator for monitoring water quality, which reflects the degree of organic matter pollution in water bodies. However, the current methods for determining COD values have drawbacks such as slow speed and complicated operation, which hardly meet the demand of online monitoring.

To what extent sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of the type-5 phosphodiesterase modulates systemic redox status and cerebrovascular function during acute exposure to hypoxia remains unknown. To address this, 12 healthy males (aged 24 ± 3 y) participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study involving exposure to both normoxia and acute (60 min) hypoxia (Fi = 0.14), followed by oral administration of 50 mg sildenafil and placebo (double-blinded).
