Relationship between overall right pre-frontal cortex activity and learning and retention of a visuomotor adaptation task: A continuous analysis
(Elsevier, 2025-07-01)
Article
Open AccessLearning a visuomotor adaptation task (VMA) is typically assessed by describing the behavioral changes during adaption (early-fast and late-slow phases) and retention (consolidation) tests. Few studies have concurrently ... -
Prediction of the response to antiangiogenic sunitinib therapy by non-invasive hybrid diffuse optics in renal cell carcinoma
(Optica, 2024-10-01)
Article
Open AccessIn this work, broadband diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) were used to quantify deep tissue hemodynamics in a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft mouse model of clear cell ... -
Near-infrared diffuse optical characterization of human thyroid using ultrasound-guided hybrid time-domain and diffuse correlation spectroscopies
(Optica, 2024-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThyroid vascularization and hemodynamics become altered in thyroid pathologies and could thus inform diagnostics, therapy planning, and follow-up. However, the current non-invasive monitoring methods available in clinics ... -
Proof of concept validation of bioresorbable optical fibers for diffuse correlation spectroscopy
(Optica, 2024-11-01)
Article
Open AccessOptical quality bioresorbable materials have been gaining interest in recent years for various interstitial biomedical/medical application. An example of this is when the implant gradually dissolves in the body, providing ... -
How the heterogeneity of the severely injured brain affects hybrid 2 diffuse optical signals: case examples and guidelines
(2024)
Article
Open AccessSignificance: A shortcoming for the routine clinical use of diffuse optics (DO) in the injured head has been that the results from commercial near-infrared spectroscopy-based devices are not reproducible, often give phys ... -
Cerebral and systemic physiological effects of wearing face masks in young adults
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021-10-12)
Article
Open AccessThe COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread mandates requiring the wearing of face masks, which led to debates on their benefits and possible adverse effects. To that end, the physiological effects at the systemic and at the ... -
Blood flow response to orthostatic challenge identifies signatures of the failure of static cerebral autoregulation in patients with cerebrovascular disease
(BMC, 2021-04-09)
Article
Open AccessBackground The cortical microvascular cerebral blood flow response (CBF) to different changes in head-of-bed (HOB) position has been shown to be altered in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) by diffuse correlation spectroscopy ... -
Neurodevelopmental profile in children with benign external hydrocephalus syndrome. A pilot cohort study
(Springer, 2021-05-10)
Article
Open AccessThe management of children with benign external hydrocephalus (BEH) remains controversial. Most BEH children do well in the long-term, but a substantial number have temporary or permanent psychomotor delays. The study aims ... -
Cerebral oxygenation and blood flow in normal term infants at rest measured by a hybrid near-infrared device (BabyLux)
(Nature, 2019-07-02)
Article

Liquid phantoms for near-infrared and diffuse correlation spectroscopies with tunable optical and dynamic properties
(OSA, 2018-04-04)
Article
Open AccessWe present the recipe and characterization for preparing liquid phantoms that are suitable for both near-infrared spectroscopy and diffuse correlation spectroscopy. The phantoms have well-defined and tunable optical and ... -
Cerebral vasoreactivity in response to a headof-bed position change is altered in patients with moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea
(PLOS, 2018-03-18)
Article
Open AccessObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can impair cerebral vasoreactivity and is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease. Unfortunately, an easy-to-use, non-invasive, portable monitor of cerebral vasoreactivity ... -
Transcranial diffuse optical assessment of the microvascular reperfusion after thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke
(OSA, 2018-02-21)
Article
Open AccessIn this pilot study, we have evaluated bedside diffuse optical monitoring combining diffuse correlation spectroscopy and near-infrared diffuse optical spectroscopy to assess the effect of thrombolysis with an intravenous ...
