Article Abstract

Significance: Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) techniques offer intrinsic information about the sample of interest in a label-free, noninvasive manner and have an enormous potential for wide biomedical applications with negligible perturbations to the natural state of the sample .

Aim: We aim to present an in-depth review of the scattering formulation of light-matter interactions as applied to biological samples such as cells and tissues, discuss the relevant quantitative phase measurement techniques, and present a summary of various reported applications.

Approach: We start with scattering theory and scattering properties of biological samples followed by an exploration of various microscopy configurations for 2D QPI for measurement of structure and dynamics.

Results: We reviewed 157 publications and presented a range of QPI techniques and discussed suitable applications for each. We also presented the theoretical frameworks for phase reconstruction associated with the discussed techniques and highlighted their domains of validity.

Conclusions: We provide detailed theoretical as well as system-level information for a wide range of QPI techniques. Our study can serve as a guideline for new researchers looking for an exhaustive literature review of QPI methods and relevant applications.

ConspectusA key challenge in modern chemistry research is to mimic life-like functions using simple molecular networks and the integration of such networks into the first functional artificial cell. Central to this endeavor is the development of signaling elements that can regulate the cell function in time and space by producing entities of code with specific information to induce downstream activity. Such artificial signaling motifs can emerge in nonequilibrium systems, exhibiting complex dynamic behavior like bistability, multistability, oscillations, and chaos.

Variational Quantum Algorithm for Non-Markovian Quantum Dynamics Using an Ensemble of Ehrenfest Trajectories.

J Phys Chem Lett

January 2025

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia 22030, United States.

The simulation of non-Markovian quantum dynamics plays an important role in the understanding of charge and exciton dynamics in the condensed phase environment, yet such a simulation remains computationally expensive on classical computers. In this work, we develop a variational quantum algorithm that is capable of simulating non-Markovian quantum dynamics on quantum computers. The algorithm captures the non-Markovian effect by employing the Ehrenfest trajectories and Monte Carlo sampling of their thermal distribution.

Background: The increasing prevalence and burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), the challenges in implementing pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs and the limited availability of alternatives and supportive programs to serve patients with COPD necessitate the development of pulmonary telerehabilitation (PTR) systems to provide patients with COPD with PR programs.

Objective: This study aimed to design and develop the ChestCare mobile Health app using user-centred design (UCD) approach. Thus, it provided PTR for patients with COPD, enhancing their self-management of symptoms and improving their compliance with PR programs.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is a common cancer among women worldwide, and although the use of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) for BC has become more widespread, there is no standardized prediction of the efficacy of NAT for BC. This study aimed to evaluate the value of quantitative parameters of dual-layer detector spectral computed tomography (DLCT) in predicting whether BC patients can achieve pathological complete response (pCR) after NAT.

Methods: Patients who were first diagnosed with BC in Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute and received only NAT before surgery were selected for participation in this study.

Background: The major of anticancer therapies induce a wide spectrum of cardiotoxic effects. Early identification of anticancer treatment-associated cardiotoxicity is critical to informing decisions on subsequent interventions. Myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) has been proposed as a useful parameter for quantifying the early cardiotoxicity of cancer-related treatment.
