Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a non-invasive, continuous monitoring of
regional tissue oxygenation. NIRS assessment of neonatal splanchnic oxygenation (SrSO2) …

The ability of the auditory cortex in the brain to distinguish different sounds is important in
daily life. This study investigated whether activations in the auditory cortex caused by …

The past few decades have seen an explosion in the development and use of methods for
imaging the human microcirculation during health and disease. The confluence of …

Lack of bladder fullness sensation is an issue that arises in different neurogenic conditions
and in addition to influencing patients' quality of life, can result in serious kidney damage …

The majority of in vivo applications of near-infrared spectroscopic (NIRS) monitoring use
continuous wave instruments that require a fiberoptic cable connection between the subject …

BACKGROUND: Assessment of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is standard clinical practice
in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). This is currently achieved by through …

There has been recent interest in placing pressure-sensing elements beneath the bladder
mucosa to facilitate chronic bladder pressure monitoring. Wired submucosal sensors with …

The microcirculation plays an essential role in health and disease. Microvascular perfusion
can be assessed directly using laser Doppler flowmetry and various imaging techniques or …

BACKGROUND: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an optical technology. It detects the
hemodynamic changes in tissues via noninvasive measurement of changes in the …
