Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a powerful noninvasive tool with which to study the
matching of oxygen delivery to oxygen utilization and the number of new publications …

In most daily activities related to work or leisure, the energy for muscle work substantially
comes from oxidative metabolism. Functional limitations or impairments of this metabolism …

Oxygen saturation in the arterial blood (SaO2) provides information on the adequacy of
respiratory function. SaO2 can be assessed noninvasively by pulse oximetry, which is based …

In the last decade the study of the human brain and muscle energetics underwent a radical
change, thanks to the progressive introduction of noninvasive techniques, including near …

In near–infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of tissue, light attenuation is due to:(i) absorption from
chromophores of fixed concentration,(ii) absorption from chromophores of variable …

This review celebrates the 30th anniversary of the first in vivo near-infrared (NIR)
spectroscopy (NIRS) publication, which was authored by Professor Frans Jöbsis. At first …

The aim of this study was to investigate local muscle O2consumption (muscV˙ o 2) and
forearm blood flow (FBF) in resting and exercising muscle by use of near-infrared …

Background: Early hemodynamic assessment of global parameters in critically ill patients
fails to provide adequate information on tissue perfusion. It requires invasive monitoring and …

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was initiated in 1977 by Jobsis as a simple, noninvasive
method for measuring the presence of oxygen in muscle and other tissues in vivo. This …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal disease caused by mutation of the gene
encoding the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin. Despite a wealth of recent information about …
