Ultrafast ultrasound imaging with plane wave transmission has been a promising technique to image moving objects, however, implies compromises among resolution, contrast and sensitivity. Coherence plane-wave compounding (CPWC) can balance the image quality and frame rate. The image quality, especiallyin terms of the suppression of artifacts stemmed from side lobes, is greatly comprised by reducing the number of the tilted plane-waves. However, in some special scenarios, such as tracking shear wave propagation inside soft tissue, and imaging the complex blood flow, it's better to keep a very high frame rate. How to realize a B-mode image of equivalent quality to the standard focused approach at a very high frame rate? Here we proposed a new imaging framework by combining CPWC with angle coherence factor. The B-mode images from simulation, experimental phantoms demonstrated that our proposed methodology greatly suppressed the side-lobes artifacts by around 20 dB compared with CPWC imaging, while the image quality, especially lateral resolution and contrast kept equivalent.

Retinal image registration is essential for monitoring eye diseases and planning treatments, yet it remains challenging due to large deformations, minimal overlap, and varying image quality. To address these challenges, we propose RetinaRegNet, a multi-stage image registration model with zero-shot generalizability across multiple retinal imaging modalities. RetinaRegNet begins by extracting image features using a pretrained latent diffusion model.

The development of long-wavelength near-infrared II (NIR-II, 900-1700 nm) dyes is highly desirable but challenging. To achieve both red-shifted absorption/emission and superior imaging capabilities, a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) xanthene core was strategically modified by extending π-conjugated double bonds and enhancing electron-donating properties. Two dyes named and were synthesized and exhibited notably red-shifted absorption/emission peaks at 942/1250 and 1098/1450 nm, respectively.

Hypochlorous acid can be employed as a biomarker for blood infection (such as sepsis) and tissue damage (such as drug-induced liver injury, DILI), and the diagnosis of tissue damage or blood infection can be achieved through the detection of hypochlorous acid in relevant biological samples. Considering the complex environment and the diverse interferences in living organisms and blood plasma, developing new detection methods for HClO with high signal-to-background ratios is particularly important, and it can improve the accuracy of detection and quality of imaging based on a higher contrast, which makes the detection of HClO clearer and more accurate. Here, based on the advantages of the NIR fluorescence/photoacoustic dual-modal probe, we reported a hypochlorous acid-activatable NIR fluorescence/photoacoustic dual-modal probe (NIRF-PA-HClO) based on the spirolactam ring-opening strategy in this paper.

Aims: The REDUCE-AMI trial showed that beta-blockers in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) had no effect on mortality or cardiovascular outcomes. The aim of this substudy was to evaluate whether global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a better prognostic marker than LVEF, and if beta-blockers have a beneficial effect in patients with decreased GLS.
Methods And Results: REDUCE-AMI was a registry-based randomized clinical trial.
