We have developed a low-cost micro-diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopic (micro-DRIFTS) setup for measuring the reflectance of small area diffuse samples. The system performance is characterized and then demonstrated on small area vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) samples. We find that our system can measure samples with a spatial resolution of approximately 140 µm with sensitivities of 10s of ppm in the 2 µm - 18 µm spectral window. Our uncertainty budget is presented along with how our measured reflectance can be equated to directional-hemispherical reflectance.

Diagnosing Epilepsy with Normal Interictal EEG Using Dynamic Network Models.
Ann Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Objective: Whereas a scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) is important for diagnosing epilepsy, a single routine EEG is limited in its diagnostic value. Only a small percentage of routine EEGs show interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) and overall misdiagnosis rates of epilepsy are 20% to 30%. We aim to demonstrate how network properties in EEG recordings can be used to improve the speed and accuracy differentiating epilepsy from mimics, such as functional seizures - even in the absence of IEDs.

Department of Psychiatry, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: Research on early psychosis has begun to identify psychiatric characteristics of the prodromal period of schizophrenia; however, subclinical characteristics of children in non-psychiatric fields have not been fully investigated. In our previous study, we developed the Child Psychosis-risk Screening System (CPSS).
Objective: In the present cross-sectional study, we attempted to identify the risk of developing psychosis in pediatric ( = 216) and psychiatric outpatients ( = 120), aged 6- 18 years, with the CPSS.
Radiomic signatures of brain metastases on MRI: utility in predicting pathological subtypes of lung cancer.

Department of Radiology, Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: The pathological sub-classification of lung cancer is crucial in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for patients. Quick and timely identification of pathological subtypes from imaging examinations rather than histological tests could help guiding therapeutic strategies. The aim of the study is to construct a non-invasive radiomics-based model for predicting the subtypes of lung cancer on brain metastases (BMs) from multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences.

Background: Early detection for colorectal cancer (CRC) can enhance the patient prognosis. We aimed to validate the combined multi-gene detection in plasma of , , , and for early diagnosing of CRC in this prospective study.
Methods: Overall, 124 participants including 45 CRC patients, 8 advanced adenoma patients, 34 small polyp patients, and 37 normal controls who underwent colonoscopy were enrolled.
Comprehensive analysis of tumor immune-related gene signature for predicting prognosis, immunotherapy, and drug sensitivity in bladder urothelial carcinoma.
Transl Cancer Res
December 2024
Department of Urology, Affiliated Hospital of Chifeng University, Chifeng, China.
Background: Bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) is globally recognized as a prevalent malignancy. Its treatment remains challenging due to the extensive morbidity, high mortality rates, and compromised quality of life from postoperative complications and the lack of specific molecular targets. Our aim was to establish a prognostic model to evaluate the prognostic significance, assess immunotherapy responses, and determine drug susceptibility in patients with BLCA.
