BackgroundAbdominal near-infrared spectroscopy (aNIRS) may detect gastrointestinal hypoxia before necrotizing enterocolitis develops. We sought to validate aNIRS during splanchnic hypoxia and hypoperfusion in neonatal piglets.MethodsAnesthetized piglets underwent systemic hypoxia or 3 h superior mesenteric artery (SMA) ligation with aNIRS monitoring.ResultsDuring progressive hypoxia, gastrointestinal tissue oxyhemoglobin saturation measured by aNIRS decreased linearly with oxyhemoglobin saturation measured directly in the portal vein. Correlation coefficients were 0.94-0.99 in each of 10 piglets, the average regression slope of 0.73 (95% confidence interval: 0.57, 0.89) differed from one (P<0.004), and the intercept on the aNIRS axis of 9.5% (4.4, 14.6) differed from zero (P<0.0025). Umbilical venous oxyhemoglobin saturation also correlated strongly with the portal vein oxyhemoglobin saturation (r=0.83-0.99), with a slope not different from one. SMA ligation caused ileal blood flow to decrease by ~50%, and produced a sustained decrease in aNIRS oximetry from approximately 60 to 30%.ConclusionaNIRS can detect abrupt and sustained gastrointestinal hypoperfusion associated with arterial occlusion in a neonatal model. The highly linear relationship of portal venous oxyhemoglobin saturation with aNIRS and umbilical vein saturation during graded hypoxia implies that these measures can accurately track tissue oxygenation trends over a wide range in individual subjects.

Carbon dots (CDs) are versatile nanomaterials that are considered ideal for application in bioimaging, drug delivery, sensing, and optoelectronics owing to their excellent photoluminescence, biocompatibility, and chemical stability features. Nitrogen doping enhances the fluorescence of CDs, alters their electronic properties, and improves their functional versatility. N-doped CDs can be synthesized via solvothermal treatment of carbon sources with nitrogen-rich precursors; however, systematic investigations of their synthesis mechanisms have been rarely reported.

Visible and Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (VNIR-HSI) combined with machine learning has shown its effectiveness in various detection applications. Specifically, the quality of cigar tobacco leaves undergoes subtle changes due to environmental differences during the air-curing phase. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of deep learning methods in overcoming data limitations to develop a VNIR-HSI prediction model for the quality of cigar tobacco leaves at different air-curing levels.

The subspecialty of neurocritical care has grown significantly over the past 40 years along with advancements in the medical and surgical management of neurological emergencies. The modern neuroscience intensive care unit (neuro-ICU) is grounded in close collaboration between neurointensivists and neurosurgeons in the management of patients with such conditions as ischemic stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hematomas, and traumatic brain injury. Neuro-ICUs are also capable of specialized monitoring such as serial neurological examinations by trained neuro-ICU nurses; invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure, cerebral oxygenation, and cerebral hemodynamics; cerebral microdialysis; and noninvasive monitoring, including the use of pupillometry, ultrasound monitoring of optic nerve sheath diameters, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, near-infrared spectroscopy, and continuous electroencephalography.

Robotics holds the potential to streamline the execution of repetitive and dangerous tasks, which are difficult or impossible for a human operator. However, in complex scenarios, such as nuclear waste management or disaster response, full automation often proves unfeasible due to the diverse and intricate nature of tasks, coupled with the unpredictable hazards, and is typically prevented by stringent regulatory frameworks. Consequently, the predominant approach to managing activities in such settings remains human teleoperation.

Understanding how children acquire syntactic structures from a limited set of grammatical rules and use them creatively to convey meaning has been a longstanding interest for scientific communities. Previous studies on syntactic development have revealed its close correlation with the development of vocabulary and working memory. Our study sought to elucidate how the relations between syntactic processing, word processing, and working memory were instantiated in the brain, and how earlier neural patterns might predict language abilities one year later.
