Background: Ultrasonic echocardiography is commonly used for monitoring myocardial dysfunction. However, it has limitations such as poor quality of echocardiography images and subjective judgment of doctors.
Methods: In this paper, a calculation model based on optical flow tracking of echocardiogram is proposed for the quantitative estimation motion of the segmental wall. To improve the accuracy of optical flow estimation, a method based on confidence-optimized multiresolution(COM) optical flow model is proposed to reduce the estimation errors caused by the large amplitude of myocardial motion and the presence of "shadows" and other image quality problems. In addition, motion vector decomposition and dynamic tracking of the ventricular region of interest are used to extract information regarding the myocardial segmental motion. The proposed method was validated using simulation images and 50 clinical cases (25 patients and 25 healthy volunteers) for myocardial motion analysis.
Results: The results demonstrated that the proposed method could track the motion information of myocardial segments well and reduce the estimation errors of optical flow caused due to the use of low-quality echocardiogram images.
Conclusions: The proposed method improves the accuracy of motion estimation for the cardiac ventricular wall.

The brain, as a vital part of central nervous system, receives approximately 25% of body's blood supply, making accurate monitoring of cerebral blood flow essential. While fNIRS is widely used for measuring brain physiology, complex tissue structure affects light intensity, spot size, and detection accuracy. Many studies rely on simulations with limited experimental validation.

To address the medical challenges posed by glioblastoma, a novel and high-performance tumor inhibitor (La@FA-CDs) composed of folic acid and lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate, was successfully synthesized and demonstrated effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of U251 and LN299 cells. The microstructure of La@FA-CDs was extensively analyzed by FTIR, UV-Vis, XPS, TEM, AFM NMR, and nanoparticle size analyzer. The optical and electrical properties of La@FA-CDs were characterized using a fluorescence spectrometer and a zeta potential analyzer.

Colloidal crystal engineering enables the precise construction of structures with remarkable properties. However, the flexible and synergistic regulation of multiple properties of colloidal crystals remains a significant challenge. Here, we inspire from Brazilian opals to self-assemble polymer nanoparticles in the gaps of a single-layer opal substrate to fabricate large-scale binary colloidal crystals (BCCs).

Developing a portable yet affordable method for the discrimination of chemical substances with good sensitivity and selectivity is essential for on-site visual detection of unknown substances. Herein, we propose an optofluidic paper-based analytical device (PAD) that consists of a macromolecule-driven flow (MDF) gate and photonic crystal (PhC) coding units, enabling portable and scalable detection and discrimination of various organic chemical, mimicking the olfactory system. The MDF gate is designed for precise flow control of liquid analytes, which depends on intermolecular interactions between the polymer at the MDF gate and the liquid analytes.

Purpose: This study examines the multimodal imaging (MMI) findings in two cases of unilateral Stellate Nonhereditary Idiopathic Foveomacular Retinoschisis (SNIFR), including detailed findings from the unaffected fellow eye.
Methods: Macular spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and 3x3 mm optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), microperimetry, full-field electroretinography (ff-ERG) for both the affected and the fellow eye were reviewed.
Results: The MMI findings were consistent across the two cases (71-year-old female and 60-year-old female).
