Study on resting-state functional connectivity characteristics under hypnosis using functional near-infrared spectroscopy by Zhisong Zhang, Zhisong Zhang, Wanqiu Tan, Yuhong Ma, Min Zheng, Yuan Zhang, Jiaming Wei, Jiaming Wei, Yaozu Wang, Zhimeng Li, Zhifei Li, Roger C. Ho, Roger C. Ho

“…Resting-state oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) data were collected from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during both control aware and hypnotic states. Functional connectivity strengths between these states were analyzed to assess changes in brain activity associated with deep hypnosis.ResultsA total of 55 paired samples t-tests were conducted across 11 regions of interest (ROIs), revealing statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in functional connectivity strength between the control state and hypnotic state in 10 paired comparisons. …”

A micro-costing study of mass-spectrometry based quantitative proteomics testing applied to the diagnostic pipeline of mitochondrial and other rare disorders by Francisco Santos Gonzalez, Daniella H. Hock, David R. Thorburn, Dylan Mordaunt, Nicholas A. Williamson, Ching-Seng Ang, David A. Stroud, John Christodoulou, Ilias Goranitis

“…An integrated analysis pipeline where all the standard analysis are performed automatically, as well as discounts or subsidized LC-MS/MS equipment or consumables can lower the cost per test. Conclusions Proteomics testing provide a lower-cost option and wider application compared to respiratory chain enzymology for mitochondrial disorders and potentially other functional assays in Australia. …”
