Non-invasive techniques for studying macrophages in joint inflammation
Folate-based radiotracers have been used in patients with cancer and inflammatory diseases to visualize folate receptor expressing cells using PET or SPECT techniques. Activated macrophages express folate receptor beta (FR-b) and this allows specific imaging of these cells in-vivo. From previous work using SPECT imaging to visualize folate receptor expressing macrophages in both animal models a...
متن کاملNon-invasive Optical Techniques for determination of blood Glucose levels: A Review Article
This article reviews the development of non-invasive optical techniques for determination of blood glucose concentrations in diabetic patients. Early diagnosis and daily management are essential for ensuring the healthy life of diabetic patients. The determination of blood glucose concentration with common devices involves the chemical analysis of blood samples, which are obtained by pricking t...
متن کاملEvaluation of human allogeneic collagen gel for correction of nasolabial folds using non-invasive measurement techniques
Background: With aging, the facial folds, grooves, and sagging tissue become more prominent. It is haracterized by loss of the collagen mass in the dermis and an increased array of elastin whirls in the deeper dermis. The aim of this study was to determine whether correction of nasolabial folds could be achieved using an allogeneic collagen product. Methods: Nine healthy volunteers participated...
متن کاملNon-invasive imaging for studying anti-angiogenic therapy effects.
Noninvasive imaging plays an emerging role in preclinical and clinical cancer research and has high potential to improve clinical translation of new drugs. This article summarises and discusses tools and methods to image tumour angiogenesis and monitor anti-angiogenic therapy effects. In this context, micro-computed tomography (µCT) is recommended to visualise and quantify the micro-architectur...
متن کاملNon-Invasive Imaging of Vascular Inflammation
In large-vessel vasculitides, inflammatory infiltrates may cause thickening of the involved arterial vessel wall leading to progressive stenosis and occlusion. Dilatation, aneurysm formation, and thrombosis may also ensue. Activated macrophages and T lymphocytes are fundamental elements in vascular inflammation. The amount and density of the inflammatory infiltrate is directly linked to local d...
