Objective: With the recent approval of 2 NIRAF-based devices for label-free identification of
PG by the Food and Drug Administration, it becomes crucial to educate the surgical …

When light is incident to a biological tissue surface, combinations of optical processes occur,
such as reflection, absorption, elastic and non-elastic scattering, and fluorescence. Analysis …

Background Finding and preserving normal parathyroid glands or localizing and removing
diseased parathyroid glands are crucial steps to successful thyroid and parathyroid …

Contrast-free autofluorescence (AF) of the parathyroid glands (PTGs) and thyroid tissue
occurs in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum on excitation by light in the upper range of the …

Simple Summary The most frequent post-operative complication in thyroid surgery is
hypoparathyroidism leading to temporary or definitive low blood calcium levels. This …

Importance Intraoperative identification of tissues through gross inspection during thyroid
and parathyroid surgery is challenging yet essential for preserving healthy tissue and …

Objective: To evaluate the benefits of probe-based near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF)
parathyroid identification during parathyroidectomy. Background: Intraoperative parathyroid …

Background The application of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) imaging in surgery is
growing. This study aimed to systematically review the literature to summarize the …

Light-responsive nanoliposomes are being reported to induce cancer cell death through
heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nanoliposomes (CIR NLPs) encapsulating a near …

Background Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a common endocrine pathology, and it
is due to a single parathyroid adenoma in 80–85 per cent of patients. Near-infrared …
