• Probe malfunction during TEE is an underrecognized problem. • MR severity assessment: host (e.g., BP), technical (e.g., gain), probe malfunction. • Clues for malfunction 1: disparity between TTE and TEE; CW and color Doppler. • Clues for malfunction 2: unexplained poor image quality; need for high gain. • Transducer temperature can affect image quality.

State Key Laboratory of Applied Organic Chemistry, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, 730000, China. Electronic address:

The intracellular viscosity plays a pivotal role as a physicochemical factor and an important indicator of organelles performance. Abnormal changes in subcellular viscosity are often associated with cellular malfunction and various diseases. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most common liver disease related with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and both are linked to aberrant mitochondrial viscosity.

Background: Intracranial multimodal monitoring (iMMM) is increasingly used in neurocritical care, but a lack of standardization hinders its evidence-based development. Here, we devised core outcome sets (COS) and reporting guidelines to harmonize iMMM practices and research.

Methods: An open, decentralized, three-round Delphi consensus study involved experts between December 2023 and June 2024.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent advancements in regional anesthesia (RA) owe much to ultrasound technology, but human factors like fatigue and misidentification of anatomy can affect performance.
  • Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning can enhance RA practices by improving anatomical recognition and providing real-time guidance during procedures.
  • While the future of AI in RA looks promising, challenges such as device malfunctions, data privacy issues, regulatory obstacles, and cost remain significant hurdles to widespread implementation.

Spatiomolecular analyses are key to study tissue functions and malfunctions. However, we lack profiling tools for spatial transcriptomics that are easy to adopt, low cost and scalable in terms of sample size and number. Here, we describe a method, Array-seq, to repurpose classical oligonucleotide microarrays for spatial transcriptomics profiling.

AIE multifunctional probe empowering colorimetric-fluorescence dual-mode biosensor for early diabetic screening.

Biosens Bioelectron

February 2025

College of Material, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Key Laboratory of Organosilicon Chemistry and Material Technology, Ministry of Education, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou, 311121, Zhejiang, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition marked by high blood glucose levels, but traditional biomarkers often fail to detect early stages due to their variability.
  • A novel dual-mode biosensor using α-glucosidase and modified copper nanoclusters has been developed for improved early diabetes screening, minimizing influences of blood glucose fluctuations.
  • This biosensor significantly increases detection accuracy, reducing false positives by 50% and false negatives by 25%, making it a reliable tool for clinical evaluations of abnormal glucose levels.
