In this paper, we present a new FTIR-based microfluidic system for Glucose, Fructose and Sucrose detection. The proposed microfluidic system is based on a pseudo-continuous flow coupled to a microscope-FTIR instrument. The detection and characterization of sugar samples were performed by recording their absorption spectrum in the wavelength range 700⁻1000 cm - 1 of the Mid-IR region. The proposed pseudo-continuous flow system is designed to improve the uniformity of the sample distribution in the analyzed area versus conventional systems. The obtained results for different sugars concentrations, show a very low measurement error of 4.35% in the absorption peak intensity, which is ten times lower than the error obtained using the conventional measurements.

Psilocin, the active metabolite of psilocybin, is a psychedelic and agonist at the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR) that has shown positive therapeutic effects for brain disorders such as depression. To elucidate the brain effects of psilocybin, we directly compared the acute effects of 5-HT2AR agonist (psilocybin) and antagonist (ketanserin) on cerebral blood flow (CBF) using pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a single-blind, cross-over study in 28 healthy participants. We evaluated associations between plasma psilocin level (PPL) or subjective drug intensity (SDI) and CBF.

Background: Aβ deposition in the brain does not necessarily lead to cognitive impairment, and that blood supply may have other unexplained regulatory effects on Aβ. Therefore, there appears to be a more complex relationship between blood supply, Aβ deposition, and cognitive impairment that warrants further exploration.
Methods: This cohort study collected four longitudinal follow-up datasets, including a total of 281 subjects, followed for four years.

Normal aging has been associated with increased arterial transit time (ATT) and reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF). However, age-related patterns of ATT and CBF and their relationship remain unclear. This is partly due to the lengthy scan times required for ATT measurements, which caused previous age-related CBF studies to not fully account for transit time.

Background: Cerebral small vessel ischemic disease (SVID) as a common age-related morbidity is the key mechanism of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). This study uses Cerebral blood flow (CBF) measured by pseudo-continuous ASL MRI in SVID patients with and without cognitive impairment to differentiate VCI from normal aging.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 74 SVID patients, including 35 with diagnosed VCI and 39 without cognitive impairment (control) underwent pCASL-MRI in the resting state.

Background: Perfusion imaging of the brain has important clinical applications in detecting neurological abnormalities in neonates. However, such tools have not been available to date. Although arterial-spin-labeling (ASL) MRI is a powerful noninvasive tool to measure perfusion, its application in neonates has encountered obstacles related to low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), large-vessel contaminations, and lack of technical development studies.
