Astrocytes perform crucial supportive functions, including neurotransmitter clearance, ion
buffering, and metabolite delivery. They can also influence blood flow and neuronal activity by …

Importance Identification and preservation of parathyroid glands (PGs) remain challenging
despite advances in surgical techniques. Considerable morbidity and even mortality result …

We describe a photolithographic approach to create functional stimuli responsive, self-folding,
microscale hydrogel devices using thin, gradient cross-linked hinges and thick, fully cross-…

Segmenting the retinal layers in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images helps to quantify
the layer information in early diagnosis of retinal diseases, which are the main cause of …

Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) utilizes the speckle pattern of a laser to determine
the blood flow in tissues. The current approaches for its use in a clinical setting require a …

Cerebrovascular surgery can benefit from an intraoperative system that conducts continuous
monitoring of cerebral blood flow (CBF). Such a system must be handy, non-invasive, and …

The authors describe the development of an ultrafast three-dimensional (3D) optical coherence
tomography (OCT) imaging system that provides real-time intraoperative video images of …

Objective: To enable a real-time surgical guidance system that simultaneously monitors
blood vessel perfusion, oxygen saturation, thrombosis, and tissue recovery by combining …

Accurate, real-time identification and display of critical anatomic structures, such as the nerve
and vasculature structures, are critical for reducing complications and improving surgical …
