This report is the second part of a comprehensive two-part series aimed at reviewing an extensive and diverse toolkit novel methods to explore brain health function. While first focused on neurophotonic tools mostly applicable animal studies, here, we highlight optical spectroscopy imaging relevant noninvasive human studies. We outline current state-of-the-art technologies software advances, most recent impact these neuroscience clinical applications, identify areas where innovation needed,...
The <i>Journal of Biomedical Optics</i> (JBO) is a Gold Open Access journal that publishes peer-reviewed papers on the use novel optical systems and techniques for improved health care biomedical research.
Haemodynamics-based neuroimaging is widely used to study brain function. Regional blood flow changes characteristic of neurovascular coupling provide an important marker neuronal activation. However, in systemic physiological parameters such as pressure and concentration CO2 can also affect regional may confound haemodynamics-based neuroimaging. Measurements with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) additionally be confounded by oxygenation extracerebral tissue layers. Here we...
Background Complementary medicine (CM) is popular in Switzerland. Several CM methods (traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture, homeopathy, anthroposophic medicine, neural therapy, and herbal medicine) are currently covered by the mandatory basic health insurance when performed a certified physician. Treatments non-medical therapists partially supplemental optional insurance. In this study, we investigated frequency of use including evolvement over time, most methods, user profile. Methods...
In this Outlook paper, we explain why an accurate physiological interpretation of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging signals is facilitated when systemic activity (e.g., cardiorespiratory and autonomic activity) measured simultaneously by employing physiology augmented (SPA-fNIRS). The rationale for SPA-fNIRS twofold: (i) enables a more complete understanding the fNIRS at head since they contain components originating from neurovascular coupling sources. with can be...
Risk factors for oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) in elderly patients are mainly central nervous system (CNS) and structural organic diseases or presbyphagia. We analysed the OD prevalence association of with multimorbidity polypharmacy using real-life data to complete this spectrum, a focus on further iatrogenic risk. This was cross-sectional retrospective study based random sample 200 admitted geriatric hospital. Data analysis included diagnoses, detailed list drugs, an intense clinical...
It is often stated that external validity not sufficiently considered in the assessment of clinical studies. Although tools for its evaluation have been established, there a lack awareness their significance and application. In this article, comprehensive checklist presented addressing these relevant criteria. The was developed by listing most commonly used criteria Additionally, specific lists individual applications were included. categories biases internal (selection, performance,...
There is not yet a comprehensive view of how the color light affects cerebral and systemic physiology in humans. The aim was to address this deficit through basic research. Since physiological parameters are likely interact, it necessary establish an approach, which we have termed "systemic-physiology-augmented functional near-infrared spectroscopy (SPA-fNIRS) neuroimaging." This multimodal approach measures response exposure different colors. In 14 healthy subjects (9 men, 5 women, age:...
Objectives To determine the prevalence of use complementary medicine (CM) in Switzerland 2017, its development since 2012 Swiss Health Survey, and to examine specific non-specific sociodemographic, lifestyle health-related determinants CM as compared conventional health care use. Materials methods We used data 18,832 participants from cross-sectional Survey conducted by Federal Statistical Office 2017 these with those 2012. defined four categories: (1) traditional Chinese medicine, including...
Abstract Brain activity is associated with physiological changes, which alter the optical properties of tissue in near‐infrared part spectrum. Two major types signals following functional brain activation can be distinguished: a slow signal due to hemodynamic changes and fast signal, directly related neuronal activity. The small therefore difficult detect. We used specially noise‐optimized frequency‐domain spectrometer π‐sensor, was expected particularly sensitive deeper layers, investigate...
Harmful usage of tobacco is a public health problem global concern and, in many countries, the main risk factor for non-communicable diseases. Yet, Peruvian Amazon, geographical region believed to be tobacco's historical birthplace, this plant associated with strikingly different and repute: Tobacco (especially Nicotiana rustica L.) area described as potent medicinal plant, used topically or via ingestion treat variety conditions. The goal transdisciplinary field study was investigate...
