Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the narrowing of the arteries within the lower extremities, which inhibits blood flow to the foot. We present the use of dynamic diffuse optical tomography (DDOT) system to measure blood flow in the foot during venous and arterial occlusions. DDOT is a non-ionizing, contrast-free, and fast imaging modality. The DDOT system consists of 4 sensors, each containing four laser diodes (at wavelengths of 670, 780, 808, and 850 nm) and two silicon photodiodes. We examined 11 healthy subjects with a protocol consisting of five consecutive measurements. Biomarkers were extracted from changes in hemoglobin concentrations during the measurements. The results from a pilot study are presented in this report. The average increase in total hemoglobin was $\mathbf{17.2\pm 5.8}\ \mu \mathbf{M}$ during a measurement with 60 mmHg occlusion and $\mathbf{10.4\pm 6.7} \ \mu \mathbf{M}$ during a measurement with 180 mmHg occlusion. The biomarkers can quantify blood perfusion and oxygen consumption in the foot, and they have the potential to detect and monitor PAD.
In this study, thermo-sensitive poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNP) was polymerized with pH-sensitive poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) to prepare a PAA-b-PNP block copolymer. Above its cloud point, the block copolymer self-ass...

Liposomes, spherical phospholipid vesicles with a unique morphology mimicking that of body cells, have emerged as versatile nanoparticles for drug delivery. Their biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, targeted delivery, and hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics make them stand out over traditional drug delivery systems. Liposomes can be tailored in size, composition, lamellarity, and surface charge, offering a unique level of customization for various applications. Extensive research in liposome technology has led to the development of a wide range of liposomal formulations with enhanced functionalities, such as PEGylated liposomes, ligand-targeted liposomes, and stimuli-responsive liposomes. Beyond their crucial role in cancer treatment, liposomes play a significant role in influenza, COVID-19, cancer, and hepatitis A vaccines. They are also utilized in pain management, fungal treatment, brain targeting, and topical and ocular drug delivery. This review offers insight into the types of liposomes, their composition, preparation methods, characterization methods, and clinical applications. Additionally, it discusses challenges and highlights potential future directions in liposome-based drug delivery.
We demonstrate a hybrid method utilizing DeepLabCut and LBMM to concurrently localize motor representations of multiple limbs in mice. Results suggest that motor movements involving multiple limbs reside in overlappin...
