We demonstrate the use of a novel, to the best of our knowledge, localization algorithm for digitally refocusing fluorescence images from a three-dimensional cell culture. Simultaneous phase and fluorescence intensity images are collected through a multimodal system that combines digital holography via quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) and fluorescence microscopy. Defocused fluorescence images are localized to a specific z-plane within the three-dimensional (3D) matrix using the transport of intensity equation (TIE) and depth-resolved information derived from the QPM measurements. This technique is applied to cells stained with different fluorescent tags suspended in 3D collagen hydrogel cultures. Experimental findings demonstrate the localization of defocused images, facilitating the analysis and comparison of cells within the hydrogel matrix. This method holds promise for comprehensive cellular imaging of fluorescence labeling in three-dimensional environments, enabling detailed investigations into cellular behavior and interactions.

In the present study, dispersive solid phase extraction - hydride generation integrated with micro-sampling gas-liquid separator - flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed to determine lead in lake water samples taken in the Horseshoe Island, Antarctica. In scope of this study, microwave assisted NiFeO nanoparticles were synthesized, and the characterization of nanoparticles were carried out by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. All influential parameters of dispersive solid phase extraction and hydride generation were optimized to enhance signal intensity belonging to the analyte.

Uniaxial compression experiments were conducted on coal rock utilizing a computed tomography (CT) scanning system for real-time monitoring to explain the issue of gas volume significantly exceeding reservoir capacity during coal and gas outbursts. A percolation factor a which can make a significant contribution to the research on premonitory information of gas outbursts is introduced to determine whether percolation occurs in coal rock, and supports the outburst percolation theory. It was found that percolation probability and correlation length increase with greater porosity, and that the number of pore clusters decreases as porosity increases.

Purpose: To utilize optical coherence tomography (OCT) and SS-OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) for quantifying morphological changes seen in eyes with recalcitrant neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) transitioned to intravitreal faricimab injections during the manufacturer's recommended induction phase of treatment.
Methods: Fifty-four treatment-recalcitrant patients (60 eyes) were recruited. OCT and SS-OCTA images were obtained at 0 and 3 months.

Purpose: To introduce and validate quantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy (qOBM) as a label-free, high-contrast imaging technique for visualizing conjunctival goblet cells (GCs) and assessing their functional changes.
Methods: qOBM was developed in conjunction with moxifloxacin-based fluorescence microscopy (MBFM), which was used for validating GC imaging. Initial validation was conducted with polystyrene beads, followed by testing on normal mouse conjunctiva under both ex-vivo and in-vivo conditions.

Background: While SBRT to NSBM has become common, particularly in the oligometastatic population, the approach to treating non-spine bone metastases (NSBM) with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) varies widely across institutions and clinical trial protocols. We present a comprehensive systematic review of the literatures to inform practice recommendations on behalf of the International Stereotactic Radiosurgery Society (ISRS).
Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
