Biochemical parameters of blood internally during trichurosis invasion by E. V. Mykhailiutenko, O. V. Kruchynenko

“…Reference values for blood tests have been established to interpret deviations from physiological parameters. A biochemical study will allow to assess the level of functioning of internal organs (liver, kidneys, pancreas, etc.) under helminth parasitism; to obtain information on metabolism (metabolism of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates); to determine the body's need for trace elements. …”

Fast histological assessment of adipose tissue inflammation by label-free mid-infrared optoacoustic microscopy by Vito Ko, Marie C. Goess, Lukas Scheel-Platz, Tao Yuan, Andriy Chmyrov, Dominik Jüstel, Jürgen Ruland, Vasilis Ntziachristos, Selina J. Keppler, Miguel A. Pleitez

“…However, although highly specific, such techniques require multiple time-consuming steps to apply exogenous labels, which might result in morphological deviations from native tissue structures. Unlike these techniques, mid-infrared (mid-IR) microspectroscopy is a label-free optical imaging method that retrieves endogenous biomolecular contrast without altering the native composition of the samples. …”
