Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) allows for assessing brain hemodynamics non-invasively. In NIRS studies, the maneuver of breath holding is frequently used as an activation of the brain autoregulation response. However, breath holding is not always feasible or effective in the clinical practice. We explored the possibility of using kapalabathi, an ancient yoga respiration technique, as an alte...

The near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) technique is a rapid and non-destructive used to evaluate the chemical composition of complete feed ingredients. accuracy its prediction relies upon calibration standards account for variations in material particle shape size. purpose this study was determine effect alternative ingredient inclusion corn size along with sample preparation method ...

Data about diet and digestion process of cattle are important for the fine-tuning from an environmental point view. Given capacity near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to provide easily, quickly cheap data its ability in predicting dietary faecal chemical composition, fibre-bound N total-tract apparent digestibility (ttaD) beef were tested. The ttaD was estimated using undigestible neu...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a promising noninvasive imaging technique, has recently become an increasingly popular tool in resting-state brain functional connectivity (FC) studies. However, the corresponding software packages for FC analysis are still lacking. To facilitate fNIRS-based human functional connectome studies, we developed a MATLAB software package called "functio...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a fast and non-destructive analytical method. Associated with chemometrics, it becomes a powerful tool for the pharmaceutical industry. Indeed, NIRS is suitable for analysis of solid, liquid and biotechnological pharmaceutical forms. Moreover, NIRS can be implemented during pharmaceutical development, in production for process monitoring or in quality contro...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is increasingly used as a non-invasive technique for monitoring cerebral oxygenation and haemodynamics . Simple continuous-wave (CW) NIRS systems utilising differential spectroscopy can measure quantitative changes in oxyand deoxyhaemoglobin (∆[O2Hb], ∆[HHb]) but only from an arbitrary baseline. Numerous studies of changes in cerebral oxygenation and haemodynam...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) offers non-invasive, in-vivo, real-time monitoring of tissue oxygenation. Changes in regional tissue oxygenation as detected by NIRS may reflect the delicate balance between oxygen delivery and consumption. Originally used predominantly to assess cerebral oxygenation and perfusion perioperatively during cardiac and neurosurgery, and following head trauma, NIRS ...
