Article Abstract
Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is a nerve damage that is treated with painkillers and steroids which have the drawback of interference with other medications and the dangers of side effects. Novelty of the proposed work is to develop a Near Infrared Region (NIR) based non-invasive therapy device called 'DPNrelief-1.0V'developed with a 890 nm wavelength diodes. DPNrelief-1.0V delivers a total dosage of 6.174 J/cm with heat absorption by tissue of 61.74 Joules at 30 minutes. The device was tested by carrying out a pilot study with 8 patients where 4 were treatment group and control group. The DPNrelief-1.0V is validated by Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) test. The degenerated nerves pre-therapy showed less amplitude, Conduction Velocity (CV) and latency which was improved post-therapy by 100% in amplitude of nerve signal, 100% in CV and a decrease of 36.2% in latency. Independent t-test was conducted to find the difference between control and treatment, wherein a p value < 0.05 was obtained depicting significant difference between two groups. Furthermore, the performance of the device is validated by one-way test repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), wherein a p value of < 0.05 was obtained depicting a difference in nerve condition pre-and post-therapy. The performance of DPNrelief-1.0V has outperformed Anodyne therapy device with lesser dosage, treatment time and portability and in curing the symptoms of DPN. DPNrelief-1.0V finds its potential in the field of medicine for treating DPN.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) poses a significant treatment challenge, with some patients unresponsive to conventional therapies. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can be effective but its mechanisms are not fully understood. This study employs functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) to explore the neurobiological changes induced by ECT in A MDD patient, aiming to shed light on its therapeutic effects.

Replacing traditional plastic mulch with fully biodegradable mulch is an important research direction to solve the problem of "white pollution," but whether it can truly realize biodegradation is still the focus of many scholars. In this study, field and indoor experiments were carried out in Pingluo County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, using poly（butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate） （PBAT） fully biodegradable mulch film and ordinary polyethylene （PE） mulch film, with no mulch film （CK） as the control. Macroscopic characteristics such as the degree of apparent cracking of the mulch film, loss of the mulch film area, and the rate of weight loss were observed, and the results were combined with the results of scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, and thermogravimetry （TGR）.

Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is a high-resolution and non-invasive imaging modality that provides optical absorption contrast. By employing dual- or multiple-wavelength excitation, PAM extends its capabilities to offer valuable spectroscopic information. To achieve efficient multispectral PAM imaging, an essential requirement is a light source characterized by a high repetition rate and switching rate, a ≈microjoule pulse energy, and a ≈nanosecond pulse duration.

Introduction: Carbonated water (CarbW) affects the swallowing function associated with the action of the brainstem. In addition, CarbW ingestion promotes mean blood flow in the middle cerebral artery, which is associated with blood flow to the frontal and temporal lobes. In this milieu, studies regarding the effect of drinking CarbW on brain activity are of significance.

Importance: Gastrointestinal complications are common perioperative complications in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), and as near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a non-invasive, real-time monitoring of regional tissue oxygenation, we envisioned monitoring and preventing the development of gastrointestinal complications through the use of NIRS.
Objective: To assess the utility of NIRS for predicting gastrointestinal complication risks and determining optimal initial feeding times in infants post-cardiac surgery.
Methods: This retrospective study included 65 infants with CHD treated at our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022.
