Perfusion assessment via local remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) [PDF]
This paper presents an approach to assess the perfusion of visible human tissue from RGB video files. We propose metrics derived from remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) signals to detect whether a tissue is adequately supplied with blood. The perfusion analysis is done in three different scales, offering a flexible approach for different applications ...

Perfused and Nonperfused Microaneurysms Identified and Characterized by Structural and Angiographic OCT [PDF]
Purpose: Microaneurysms (MAs) have distinct, oval-shaped, hyperreflective walls on structural OCT, and inconsistent flow signal in the lumen with OCT angiography (OCTA). Their relationship to regional macular edema in diabetic retinopathy (DR) has not been quantitatively explored.

Use of sugammadex in patients with neuromuscular disorders: a systematic review of case reports
Background Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin that acts by selectively encapsulating free amino-steroidal neuromuscular relaxants. Several case reports have been published on the use of sugammadex in patients with neuromuscular disorders that ...

Quantitative perfusion and water transport time model from multi b-value diffusion magnetic resonance imaging validated against neutron capture microspheres [PDF]
Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) is a non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging diffusion-based scan that uses a multitude of b-values to measure various speeds of molecular perfusion and diffusion, sidestepping inaccuracy of arterial input functions or bolus kinetics in quantitative imaging. We test a new method of IVIM quantification and compare our

The perfused swine uterus model: long-term perfusion [PDF]
Abstract Background It has previously been shown that the viability of swine uteri can be maintained within the physiological range in an open perfusion model for up to 8 hours. The aim of this study was to assess medium- to long-term perfusion of swine uteri using a modified Krebs–Ringer bicarbonate buffer solution ...
