Scattering brings about a strong trapping of light and an associated prolonged transit time for photons through a medium. In contrast to the matrix materials, gas enclosures require very narrowband laser radiation for probing. We have in the present study used the gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy method to study free oxygen in thin (cm) samples utilizing a tunable diode laser, while a pulsed dye laser was employed in corresponding measurements on larger samples, up to the meter scale. Time‐resolved spectroscopy was in both cases used to assess the temporal distribution of the detected photons, mapping the path lengths through the media, which ranged between few centimeters up to 100 m. This study explores the feasibility to extend recent successful monitoring of gases in neonatal infant lungs to the case of larger children or even adults, which could have very important applications, for example, in ventilator setting optimization for severely ill patients, suffering, for example, from SARS‐CoV‐2. The conclusion of our work is that this goal most realistically can be reached by applying intratracheal laser light illumination at the 1 W power level, employing a tapered amplifier, injected with a distributed feedback diode‐laser oscillator output and combined with wavelength‐modulation spectroscopy.","PeriodicalId":75242,"journal":{"name":"Translational biophotonics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/tbio.202100003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48239811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stimulation of SGNs was possible with both optogenetic manipu-lated HNs and CNs, respectively. Furthermore, a dependency on the pulse duration of the stimulating light in regard to the evoked calcium response in the SGNs was also observed.

We used a compact, portable microscope and recorded images within 1 to 3 seconds using a power of 5 mW.

Presently no predictive quantitative methodology exists which can predict response, in particular a pCR or major response (MR), in patients prior to therapy. Raman and Fourier transform infrared imaging were performed on OC tissue specimens acquired from 50 patients prior to therapy, to develop a computa-tional model linking spectral data to treatment outcome. Modelling sensitivities and specificities above 85% were achieved using this approach. Parallel in-vitro studies using an isogenic model of radioresistant OC supplied further insight into OC cell spectral response to ionising radiation where a potential spectral biomarker of radioresistance was observed at 977 cm − 1 . This work demonstrates that chemical imaging may provide an option for triage of patients prior to neoCRT treatment allowing more precise prescription of treatment.","PeriodicalId":75242,"journal":{"name":"Translational biophotonics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/tbio.202000014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47867856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
