Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lower-body aerobic exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) offers a unique approach for stimulating improvements in muscular function and aerobic capacity. While there are more than 40 reports documenting acute and chronic responses to lower-body aerobic exercise with BFR, responses to upper-body aerobic exercise with BFR are not clearly established. PURPOSE We evaluated acute physiological and perceptual responses to arm cranking with and without BFR. METHODS Participants (N = 10) completed 4 arm cranking (6 × 2 min exercise, 1 min recovery) conditions: low-intensity at 40%VO2peak (LI), low-intensity at 40%VO2peak with BFR at 50% of arterial occlusion pressure (BFR50), low-intensity at 40%VO2peak with BFR at 70% of arterial occlusion pressure (BFR70), and high-intensity at 80%VO2peak (HI) while tissue oxygenation, cardiorespiratory, and perceptual responses were assessed. RESULTS During exercise, tissue saturation for BFR50 (54 ± 6%), BFR70 (55 ± 6%), and HI (54 ± 8%) decreased compared to LI (61 ± 5%, all P < 0.01) and changes in deoxyhemoglobin for BFR50 (11 ± 4), BFR70 (15 ± 6), and HI (16 ± 10) increased compared to LI (4 ± 2, all P < 0.01). During recovery intervals, tissue saturation for BFR50 and BFR70 decreased further and deoxyhemoglobin for BFR50 and BFR70 increased further (all P < 0.04). Heart rate for BFR70 and HI increased by 9 ± 9 and 50 ± 15b/min, respectively, compared to LI (both P < 0.02). BFR50 (8 ± 2, 1.0 ± 1.0) and BFR70 (10 ± 2, 2.1 ± 1.4) elicited greater arm-specific perceived exertion (6-20 scale) and pain (0-10 scale) compared to LI (7 ± 1, 0.2 ± 0.5, all P < 0.05) and pain for BFR70 did not differ from HI (1.7 ± 1.9). CONCLUSION Arm cranking with BFR decreased tissue saturation and increased deoxyhemoglobin without causing excessive cardiorespiratory strain and pain.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury occurs frequently in the perioperative setting. The renal medulla often endures hypoxia or hypoperfusion and is susceptible to the imbalance between oxygen supply and demand due to the nature of renal blood flow distribution and metabolic rate in the kidney. The current available evidence demonstrated that the urine oxygen pressure is proportional to the variations of renal medullary tissue oxygen pressure. Thus, urine oxygenation can be a candidate for reflecting the change of oxygen in the renal medulla. In this review, we discuss the basic physiology of acute kidney injury, as well as techniques for monitoring urine oxygen tension, confounding factors affecting the reliable measurement of urine oxygen tension, and its clinical use, highlighting its potential role in early detection and prevention of acute kidney injury.

Abstract
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a clinically significant vascular and gastrointestinal condition, which is closely related to the blood supply of the small intestine. Unfortunately, it is still challenging to properly discriminate small intestinal tissues with different degrees of ischemia. In this study, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) was used to construct pseudo-color images of oxygen saturation about small intestinal tissues and to discriminate different degrees of ischemia. First, several small intestine tissue models of New Zealand white rabbits were prepared and collected their hyperspectral data. Then, a set of isosbestic points were used to linearly transform the measurement data twice to match the reference spectra of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin, respectively. The oxygen saturation was measured at the characteristic peak band of oxyhemoglobin (560 nm). Ultimately, using the oxygenated hemoglobin reflectance spectrum as the benchmark, we obtained the relative amount of median oxygen saturation in normal tissues was 70.0 %, the IQR was 10.1 %, the relative amount of median oxygen saturation in ischemic tissues was 49.6 %, and the IQR was 14.6 %. The results demonstrate that HSI combined with the oxygen saturation computation method can efficiently differentiate between normal and ischemic regions of the small intestinal tissues. This technique provides a powerful support for internist to discriminate small bowel tissues with different degrees of ischemia, and also provides a new way of thinking for the diagnosis of AMI.

Abstract
Muscle hyperemia in exercise is usually the combined result of increased cardiac output and local muscle vasodilation, with the latter reflecting muscle's capacity for increased blood perfusion to support exercise. In this study, we aim to quantify muscle's vasodilation capability with dynamic BOLD imaging. A deoxyhemoglobin-kinetics model is proposed to analyze dynamic BOLD signals acquired during exercise recovery, deriving a hyperemia index (HI) for a muscle group of interest. We demonstrated the method's validity with calf muscles of healthy subjects who performed plantar flexion for muscle stimulation. In a test with exercise load incrementally increasing from 0 to 16 lbs., gastrocnemius HI showed considerable variance among the 4 subjects, but with a consistent trend, i.e. low at light load (e.g. 0-6 lbs) and linearly increasing at heavy load. The high variability among different subjects was confirmed with the other 10 subjects who exercised with a same moderate load of 8 lbs., with coefficient of variance among subjects' medial gastrocnemius 87.8%, lateral gastrocnemius 111.8% and soleus 132.3%. These findings align with the fact that intensive exercise induces high muscle hyperemia, but a comparison among different subjects is hard to make, presumably due to the subjects' different rate of oxygen utilization. For the same 10 subjects who exercised with load of 8 lbs., we also performed dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI to measure muscle perfusion (F). With a moderate correlation of 0.654, HI and F displayed three distinctive responses of calf muscles: soleus of all the subjects were in the cluster of low F and low HI, and gastrocnemius of most subjects had high F and either low or high HI. This finding suggests that parameter F encapsulates blood flow through vessels of all sizes, but BOLD-derived HI focuses on capillary flow and therefore is a more specific indicator of muscle vasodilation. In conclusion, the proposed hyperemia index has the potential of quantitatively assessing muscle vasodilation induced with exercise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperspectral techniques have aroused great interest in non-invasively measuring periodontal tissue hemodynamics. However, current studies mainly focused on three typical inflammation stages (healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis) and practical approaches for using optical spectroscopy for early and precisely detection of periodontal inflammation at finer disease stages have not been well studied. METHODS This study provided novel spectroscopic insights into periodontitis at different stages of disease, and developed six simple but physically meaning hemodynamic spectral indices (HSIs) including four spectral absorption depths of oxyhemoglobin ( D HbO 2 ), deoxyhemoglobin ( D Hb ), total hemoglobin ( t Hb ) and tissue water ( D water ), and two normalized difference indices of oxyhemoglobin( N D HbO 2 I ) and deoxyhemoglobin ( N D Hb I ) from continuum-removal spectra (400-1700 nm) of periodontal tissue collected from 47 systemically healthy subjects over different severities from healthy, gingivitis, slight, moderate to severe periodontitis for early and precision diagnostics of periodontitis. Typical statistical analyses were conducted to explore the effectiveness of the proposed HSIs. RESULTS D Hb and t Hb exerted significant increasing trends as inflammation progressed, whereas D HbO 2 exhibited significant difference (P < 0.05) from the healthy sites only at moderate and severe periodontitis and D water presented unstable sensitives to disease severity. By contrast, N D HbO 2 I and N D Hb I showed more steadily downward trends as severity increased, and demonstrated the highest correlations with clinical gold standard parameters. Particularly, the proposed normalized HSIs ( N D HbO 2 I and N D Hb I ) yielded high correlations of - 0.49 and - 0.44 with probing depth, respectively, far outperforming results achieved by previous studies. The performances of the HSIs were also confirmed using the periodontal therapy group. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated great potentials of combination optical spectroscopy and smart devices to non-invasively probe periodontitis at earlier stages using the simple and practical HSIs. Trial registration This study was retrospectively registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on October 24, 2021, and the clinical registration number is ChiCTR2100052306.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Within the premature infant intestine, oxygenation and motility play key physiological roles in healthy development and disease such as necrotizing enterocolitis. To date, there are limited techniques to reliably assess these physiological functions that are also clinically feasible for critically ill infants. To address this clinical need, we hypothesized that photoacoustic imaging (PAI) can provide non-invasive assessment of intestinal tissue oxygenation and motility to characterize intestinal physiology and health. METHODS Ultrasound and photoacoustic images were acquired in 2-day and 4-day old neonatal rats. For PAI assessment of intestinal tissue oxygenation, an inspired gas challenge was performed using hypoxic, normoxic, and hyperoxic inspired oxygen (FiO2). For intestinal motility, oral administration of ICG contrast agent was used to compare control animals to an experimental model of loperamide-induced intestinal motility inhibition. RESULTS PAI demonstrated progressive increases in oxygen saturation (sO2) as FiO2 increased, while the pattern of oxygen localization remained relatively consistent in both 2-day and 4-day old neonatal rats. Analysis of intraluminal ICG contrast enhanced PAI images yielded a map of the motility index in control and loperamide treated rats. From PAI analysis, loperamide significantly inhibited intestinal motility, with a 32.6% decrease in intestinal motility index scores in 4-day old rats. CONCLUSION These data establish the feasibility and application of PAI to non-invasively and quantitatively measure intestinal tissue oxygenation and motility. This proof-of-concept study is an important first step in developing and optimizing photoacoustic imaging to provide valuable insight into intestinal health and disease to improve the care of premature infants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides regional tissue oxygenation (rSO2) even in pulseless states, such as out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Brain rSO2 seems to be important predictor of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Aim of our study was to explore feasibility for monitoring and detecting changes of skeletal muscle rSO2 during resuscitation. METHODS Skeletal muscle and brain rSO2 were measured by NIRS (SenSmart Model X-100, Nonin, USA) during CPR in adult patient with OHCA. Start (basal) rSO2, maximal during CPR (maximal) and difference between maximal-minimal rSO2 (delta-rSO2), were recorded. Patients were divided into ROSC and NO-ROSC group. RESULTS 20 patients [age: 66.0ys (60.5-79.5), 65% male] with OHCA [50% witnessed, 70% BLS, time to ALS 13.5 min (11.0-19.0)] were finally analyzed. ROSC was confirmed in 5 (25%) patients. Basal and maximal skeletal muscle rSO2 were higher in ROSC compared to NO-ROSC group [49.0% (39.7-53.7) vs. 15.0% (12.0-25.2), P = 0.006; 76.0% (52.7-80.5) vs. 34.0% (18.0-49.5), P = 0.005, respectively]. There was non-linear cubic relationship between time of collapse and basal skeletal muscle rSO2 in witnessed OHCA and without BLS (F-ratio = 9.7713, P = 0.0261). There was correlation between maximal skeletal muscle and brain rSO2 (n = 18, rho: 0.578, P = 0.0121). CONCLUSIONS Recording of skeletal muscle rSO2 during CPR in patients with OHCA is feasible. Basal and maximal skeletal muscle rSO2 were higher in ROSC compared to NO-ROSC group. Clinical trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04058925, registered on: 16th August 2019.

Abstract
Versatile silk protein-based material formats were studied to demonstrate bioresorbable, implantable optical oxygen sensors that can integrate with the surrounding tissues. The ability to continuously monitor tissue oxygenation in vivo is desired for a range of medical applications. Silk was chosen as the matrix material due to its excellent biocompatibility, its unique chemistry that facilitates interactions with chromophores, and the potential to tune degradation time without altering chemical composition. A phosphorescent Pd (II) benzoporphyrin chromophore was incorporated to impart oxygen sensitivity. Organic solvent-based processing methods using 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol were used to fabricate: 1) silk-chromophore films with varied thickness and 2) silk-chromophore sponges with interconnected porosity. All compositions were biocompatible and exhibited photophysical properties with oxygen sensitivities (i.e., Stern-Volmer quenching rate constants of 2.7-3.2 × 104 M-1) useful for monitoring physiological tissue oxygen levels and for detecting deviations from normal behavior (e.g., hyperoxia). The potential to tune degradation time without significantly impacting photophysical properties was successfully demonstrated. Furthermore, the ability to consistently monitor tissue oxygenation in vivo was established via a multi-week rodent study. Histological assessments indicated successful tissue integration for the sponges, and this material format responded more quickly to various oxygen challenges than the film samples.

Abstract
Oxygen transfer in the microvasculature is a complex phenomenon that involves multiple physical and chemical processes and multiple media. Hematocrit, the volume fraction of red blood cells (RBCs) in blood, has direct influences on the blood flow as well as the oxygen supply in the microcirculation. On the one hand, a higher hematocrit means that more RBCs present in capillaries, and thus, more oxygen is available at the source end. On the other hand, the flow resistance increases with hematocrit, and therefore, the RBC motion becomes slower, which in turn reduces the influx of oxygen-rich RBCs entering capillaries. Such double roles of hematocrit have not been investigated adequately. Moreover, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation rate depends on the oxygen tension and hemoglobin saturation of the cytoplasm inside RBCs, and the dissociation kinetics exhibits a nonlinear fashion at different oxygen tensions. To understand how these factors and mechanisms interplay in the oxygen transport process, computational modeling and simulations are favorite since we have a good control of the system parameters and also we can access to the detailed information during the transport process. In this study, we conduct numerical simulations for the blood flow and RBC deformation along a capillary and the oxygen transfer from RBCs to the surrounding tissue. Different values for the hematocrit, arteriole oxygen tension, tissue metabolism rate and hemoglobin concentration and affinity are considered, and the simulated spatial and temporal variations of oxygen concentration are analyzed in conjunction with the nonlinear oxygen-hemoglobin reaction kinetics. Our results show that there are two competing mechanisms for the tissue oxygenation response to a hematocrit increases: the favorite effect of the higher RBC density and the negative effect of the slower RBC motion. Moreover, in the low oxygen situations with RBC oxygen tension less than 50 mmHg at capillary inlet, the reduced RBC velocity effect dominates, resulting in a decrease in tissue oxygenation at higher hematocrit. On the opposite, for RBC oxygen tension higher than 50 mmHg when entering the capillary, a higher hematocrit is beneficial to the tissue oxygenation. More interestingly, the pivoting arteriole oxygen tension at which the two competing mechanisms switch dominance on tissue oxygenation becomes lower for higher oxygen-hemoglobin affinity and lower hemoglobin concentration. This observation has also been analyzed based on the oxygen supply from RBCs and the oxygen-hemoglobin reaction kinetics. The results and discussions presented in this article could be helpful for a better understanding of oxygen transport in microcirculation.

Abstract
Microvascular alterations were first described in critically ill patients about 20 years ago. These alterations are characterized by a decrease in vascular density and presence of non-perfused capillaries close to well-perfused vessels. In addition, heterogeneity in microvascular perfusion is a key finding in sepsis. In this narrative review, we report our actual understanding of microvascular alterations, their role in the development of organ dysfunction, and the implications for outcome. Herein, we discuss the state of the potential therapeutic interventions and the potential impact of novel therapies. We also discuss how recent technologic development may affect the evaluation of microvascular perfusion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Compartment syndrome (CS) continues to be a legitimate orthopedic emergency as it leads to thousands of amputations and permanent nerve and tissue damage to undiagnosed patients for more than eight hours. In CS, intracompartmental pressure is elevated, causing reduced blood flow inside the limb compartments. An erroneous diagnosis may result in unnecessary fasciotomies, the only treatment for this condition. AREAS COVERED This review examines the previous and current diagnostic and therapeutic practices for compartment syndrome. It also performs a comparative analysis of each diagnostic technique and its foresights. EXPERT OPINION Currently, most clinicians rely on a physical examination of the patient to diagnose CS. The primary reason for the physical examination is the lack of a gold-standard device. The invasive intracompartmental pressure (ICP) measurement technique is still the most commonly used. On the other hand, many non-invasive approaches have the potential to be used as diagnostic tools; however, more research is needed before they can be accepted as standard clinical approaches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current oxygen monitoring by pulse oximetry has limitations and cannot provide estimates of the oxygen content in the microvasculature, where oxygen is used. Resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) provides noninvasive microvascular oxygen measurement. The objectives of this study were to (i) measure the correlation between preductal RRS microvascular oxygen saturations (RRS-StO2) and central venous oxygen saturation (SCVO2), (ii) develop normative data for RRS-StO2 measurements in healthy preterm infants, and (iii) determine the effect of blood transfusion on RRS-StO2. METHODS Thirty-three buccal and thenar RRS-StO2 measurements were performed in 26 subjects to correlate RRS-StO2 with SCVO2. Thirty-one measurements were performed in 28 subjects to develop normative RRS-StO2 values, and eight subjects were enrolled in the transfusion group to assess changes in RRS-StO2 with blood transfusion. RESULTS There were good correlations for buccal (r = 0.692) and thenar (r = 0.768) RRS-StO2 versus SCVO2. The median RRS-StO2 in healthy subjects was 76% (IQR 68.7-80.8). There was a significant increase of 7.8 ± 4.6% in the thenar RRS-StO2 after blood transfusion. CONCLUSIONS RRS appears to be a safe and noninvasive means of monitoring microvascular oxygenation. Thenar RRS-StO2 measurements are more feasible and practical to use than buccal. In healthy preterm infants, the median RRS-StO2 was calculated based on measurements across various gestational age and gender. More studies evaluating the effects of gestational age of RRS-StO2 in various critical clinical settings are needed to confirm the findings.

Abstract
Several spinal motor output and essential rhythmic behaviors are controlled by supraspinal structures, although their contribution to neuronal networks for respiration and locomotion at birth still requires better characterization. As preparations of isolated brainstem and spinal networks only focus on local circuitry, we introduced the in vitro central nervous system (CNS) from neonatal rodents to simultaneously record a stable respiratory rhythm from both cervical and lumbar ventral roots (VRs).Electrical pulses supplied to multiple sites of brainstem evoked distinct VR responses with staggered onset in the rostro-caudal direction. Stimulation of ventrolateral medulla (VLM) resulted in higher events from homolateral VRs. Stimulating a lumbar dorsal root (DR) elicited responses even from cervical VRs, albeit small and delayed, confirming functional ascending pathways. Oximetric assessments detected optimal oxygen levels on brainstem and cortical surfaces, and histological analysis of internal brain structures indicated preserved neuron viability without astrogliosis. Serial ablations showed precollicular decerebration reducing respiratory burst duration and frequency and diminishing the area of lumbar DR and VR potentials elicited by DR stimulation, while pontobulbar transection increased the frequency and duration of respiratory bursts. Keeping legs attached allows for expressing a respiratory rhythm during hindlimb stimulation. Trains of pulses evoked episodes of fictive locomotion (FL) when delivered to VLM or to a DR, the latter with a slightly better FL than in isolated cords.In summary, suprapontine centers regulate spontaneous respiratory rhythms, as well as electrically evoked reflexes and spinal network activity. The current approach contributes to clarifying modulatory brain influences on the brainstem and spinal microcircuits during development. Novel preparation of the entire isolated CNS from newborn rats unveils suprapontine modulation on brainstem and spinal networks. Preparation views (A) with and without legs attached (B). Successful fictive respiration occurs with fast dissection from P0-P2 rats (C). Decerebration speeds up respiratory rhythm (D) and reduces spinal reflexes derived from both ventral and dorsal lumbar roots (E).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin color is essential to skin and wound assessment as it brings valuable information about skin physiology and pathology. An approach, which can help deconvolute and isolate various mechanisms affecting skin color, could be helpful to drive the remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) utility beyond its current applications. AIM The present work aims to create a simple analytical framework that links skin color with blood oxygenation and perfusion. MATERIAL AND METHODS The model consists of two parts. First, the model's core connects changes in tissue chromophore concentrations with changes in tissue reflectance. In the second step, the tissue reflectance is convoluted with the response curves of a sensor (tristimulus response in the case of the human eye) and the light source's spectrum. RESULTS The model allows linking changes in blood oxygenation and perfusion with changes in skin color. CONCLUSION The model can be helpful for the interpretation of the amplitudes of various components of the rPPG signal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tissue oxygenation is a critical marker of tissue status and can be used to evaluate and track wound progress, the viability of transplanted tissue, and burns. Thus, the determination of tissue oxygenation (preferably remotely) is of great importance. AIM Explore the impact of oxygenation changes on tissue color. MATERIAL AND METHODS The rPPG of both hands was acquired using a stand-mounted smartphone (iPhone 8) placed about 10 cm above the hands. A 60 s baseline was followed by occlusion of one arm using a cuff inflated to 200 mmHg for approximately 2 min. The cuff was then rapidly deflated, followed by a 60 s recovery period. The reference muscle oxygenation signal (SmO2) was acquired using the near-infrared contact Moxy device (Fortiori Design LLC) placed on the forearm distal to the occlusion. The data were collected on both hands of 28 healthy volunteers. RESULTS rPPG can observe changes in tissue oxygenation, which was confirmed across 28 participants using a robust reference standard. CONCLUSION We have an initial confirmation of the notion that rPPG can monitor changes in tissue oxygenation. However, a spectrum of rPPG and SmO2 reductions is observed, which should be explored in future work.

Abstract
Pressure injuries (PI) are dangerous tissue lesions that heal very slowly and pose a high risk of serious infections. They are caused by pressure applied to the tissue, which stops blood circulation and therefore induces hypoxia, i.e., low tissue oxygen saturation (StO2). PI cause severe suffering and are expensive to treat. Hence it is essential to prevent them with a device that detects a dangerous situation, e.g., by measuring StO2 using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). For such a device to be wearable without causing PI, it must not introduce pressure points itself. This can be achieved by integrating optical fibers into a textile to transport light to and from the tissue.The aim of this paper is to investigate the accuracy of StO2 measurements using a NIRS device based only on textile-integrated optical fibers.Bundles of fibers were stitched into a textile in such a way that loops of <1 mm diameters were formed at the stitching locations. Detection points (DPs) on the fabric consisted of 8 fibers with 3 loops each. Emission points (EPs) were made from 4 fibers with 3 loops each. All fiber ends of a DP were connected to an avalanche photodiode. One end of each fiber belonging to an EP was connected to an LED (740 nm, 810 nm, or 880 nm; 290, 560, or 610 mW).To verify the accuracy of this textile-based sensor, we placed it on a subject's forearm and compared the derived StO2 during arterial occlusion to the values of a gold-standard NIRS device (ISS Imagent), which was placed on the forearm too.We found that our textile-based sensor repeatedly measured StO2 values over a range of 40% with a deviation of <10% from the reference device.By showing the ability to measure StO2 using textile-integrated optical fibers accurately, we have reached a significant milestone on our way to building a wearable device to monitor tissue health and prevent PI.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) ultimately leads to a reduction in the cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen due to ischemia. Previously, we showed that 2 ppm i.v. of drag-reducing polymers (DRP) improve hemodynamic and oxygen delivery to tissue in a rat model of mild-to-moderate TBI. Here we evaluated sex-specific and dose-dependent effects of DRP on microvascular CBF (mvCBF) and tissue oxygenation in rats after moderate TBI. In vivo two-photon laser scanning microscopy over the rat parietal cortex was used to monitor the effects of DRP on microvascular perfusion, tissue oxygenation, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Lateral fluid-percussion TBI (1.5 ATA, 100 ms) was induced after baseline imaging and followed by 4 h of monitoring. DRP was injected at 1, 2, or 4 ppm within 30 min after TBI. Differences between groups were determined using a two-way ANOVA analysis for multiple comparisons and post hoc testing using the Mann-Whitney U test. Moderate TBI progressively decreased mvCBF, leading to tissue hypoxia and BBB degradation in the pericontusion zone (p < 0.05). The i.v. injection of DRP increased near-wall flow velocity and flow rate in arterioles, leading to an increase in the number of erythrocytes entering capillaries, enhancing capillary perfusion and tissue oxygenation while protecting BBB in a dose-dependent manner without significant difference between males and females (p < 0.01). TBI resulted in an increase in intracranial pressure (20.1 ± 3.2 mmHg, p < 0.05), microcirculatory redistribution to non-nutritive microvascular shunt flow, and stagnation of capillary flow, all of which were dose-dependently mitigated by DRP. DRP at 4 ppm was most effective, with a non-significant trend to better outcomes in female rats.

Abstract
This article presents the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) dataset of cerebral (StO2c) and splanchnic (StO2s) oxygenation in 29 stable premature infants admitted to a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit who received elective packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBCT) to treat anemia of prematurity. StO2c and StO2s data were prospectively recorded continuously from at least 4 hours before the beginning of PRBCT until 24 hours after its completion, using a 4-wavelength near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitor (FORE-SIGHT® absolute cerebral oximeter, CASMED, Branford, Connecticut, 06405 USA). StO2 data were downloaded as an analog output at a sampling rate of 1000Hz and aligned along the time axis in LabChart reader format (.adicht files) using a PowerLab data acquisition system [1] (PowerLab®, ADInstruments, Sydney, Australia). The .adicht files were then converted into .mat file format using a Python script (PythonTM version 3.7.3 [2]) and resampled at 1Hz for faster processing. Data that could not be physiologically explained (e.g., the absence of variability, [3] a 30% step change in StO2 between two subsequent data points for StO2[4]), as well as the data during the period of 'cares' were presumed to be artefactual and were replaced with 'NaN' or 'Not a Number' which is recognised by Matlab [5] (MATLAB 9.3, The MathWorks, Inc., Massachusetts, United States) and ignored for all subsequent processing while maintaining the correct time point of the StO2 signals. The data were then exported into Microsoft Excel format. The splanchnic cerebral oxygenation ratio (SCOR) was calculated as the ratio of StO2s/StO2c. A 4-hour mean pre-transfusion values (StO2s 0, StO2c 0, SCOR 0) and post-transfusion hourly mean values (1-28) were determined. Secondary data were derived from a Mixed Models for Repeated Measures (MMRM) analysis with the time point fitted as a fixed effect and the infant fitted as a random effect. The MMRM was used to perform paired comparisons between pre-transfusion and each of the post-baseline values. This article only provides the NIRS data. The secondary data and demography can be found in the article "Splanchnic-Cerebral Oxygenation Ratio associated with Packed Red Blood Cell Transfusion in preterm infants", published in Transfusion Medicine. [6] The data will be of use to researchers in neonatology, transfusion medicine, and physiology to understand changes in cerebral and splanchnic oxygenation associated with PRBCT. Data collection, processing, and analysis can be remodelled in larger multicentric randomised controlled studies to evaluate the effect of transfusion and feeding on transfusion-associated necrotising enterocolitis. The data are also helpful to explore the autoregulatory behaviour of the brain and gut when the oxygen content of blood is increased by administering PRBCT.

Abstract
AIM Lymphoedema is associated with dysfunctional lymphatics, tissue fibrosis and inflammatory changes in the skin and local tissue. Ensuring compression supports tissue health is crucial to managing lymphoedema. Providing patients with safe compression which enhances their tissue health is paramount when supporting their 24-hour self-management regimens. This case study explores the use of a new compression garment in two sitting positions in an adult with primary lymphoedema. METHOD An 18-year-old female (body mass index 25.2 kg/m2) with Milroy's disease was recruited. She attended two separate 1-hour sessions to evaluate tissue oxygenation (StO2) in chair-sitting and long-sitting (sitting up with a supported back and legs horizontal) positions. Following removal of her usual class 2 (20-30 mmHg) flat-knit compression hosiery, StO2 was recorded for 20 minutes: pre-, during and post the application of an adjustable compression garment (Lohmann & Rauscher) to the right leg. RESULTS In the long-sitting position, StO2 levels started high at baseline (94.5%), and were relatively maintained both during and post-a short 20-minute intervention (94.1%). In the chair-sitting position, StO2 levels were significantly lower at baseline (52%), showing a 77% increase during the intervention (92%), followed by a small 9% decrease post-intervention (83.7%). CONCLUSION This compression garment significantly increased StO2 levels in the chair-sitting position, while maintaining the effects of the patient's compression stockings, in the long-sitting position. Similar to non-lymphoedematous limbs, the patient's normal prescription hosiery maintains StO2. Through implementation of the short intervention sessions, night compression garments may have the potential to improve tissue health in individuals with primary lymphoedema, encouraging self-management and offering a potential night compression solution where the need arises in a 24-hour management plan.

Abstract
Ensuring and maintaining adequate tissue oxygenation at the microcirculatory level might be considered the holy grail of optimal hemodynamic patient management. However, in clinical practice we usually focus on macro-hemodynamic variables such as blood pressure, heart rate, and sometimes cardiac output. Other macro-hemodynamic variables like pulse pressure or stroke volume variation are additionally used as markers of fluid responsiveness. In recent years, an increasing number of technological devices assessing tissue oxygenation or microcirculatory blood flow have been developed and validated, and some of them have already been incorporated into clinical practice. In this review, we will summarize recent research findings on this topic as published in the last 2 years in the Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing (JCMC). While some techniques are already currently used as routine monitoring (e.g. cerebral oxygenation using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)), others still have to find their way into clinical practice. Therefore, further research is needed, particularly regarding outcome measures and cost-effectiveness, since introducing new technology is always expensive and should be balanced by downstream savings. The JCMC is glad to provide a platform for such research.

Abstract
The oxygen demands of the human body require the constant circulation of blood carrying an enormous concentration of hemoglobin (Hb). Oxygen transport depends not only on the amount of Hb, but also on the control over the affinity of the protein for the gas, which can be optimized for the environmental conditions by changes in the concentration of effectors (hydrogen ions, chloride, CO2, and DPG) inside the red cell. Some pathological conditions affecting Hb may benefit from pharmacological interventions to increase or decrease its affinity for oxygen, or otherwise modify its properties, or alter its biosynthesis. Examples of such conditions include sickle cell anemia, thalassemias and inherited hemoglobinopathies. Effective and safe drugs such as voxelotor, bezafibrate and efaproxiral are available that significantly increase or decrease Hb oxygen affinity. Some medical conditions not directly affecting the blood or its oxygen carrying capacity may also be relieved by the manipulation of Hb. For example, the standard treatment of acute cyanide poisoning requires the oxidation of a fraction of the Hb in the bloodstream so that it efficiently scavenges cyanide. Tumors are often extremely hypoxic and therefore strongly resistant to radiotherapy; the sensitivity of cancerous tissue to X-rays may be increased by improved oxygenation through drugs binding Hb. This review attempts to provide a systematic exploration of the pharmacology of Hb, its molecular basis, and its intended and possible uses.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the changes induced by photobiomodulation therapy in oxygenation of normal skin and underlying tissue using hyperspectral imaging combined with a chemometric regression approach. Eleven healthy adult volunteers were enrolled in this study. The dorsal side of the left hand of each subject was exposed to photobiomodulation therapy, while the correspondent side of the right hand was used as a control (placebo effect). Laser irradiation was performed with a laser diode system (635 nm, 15mW, 9 J/cm2) for 900 s. Changes in skin oxygenation were assessed before and after applying the photobiomodulation therapy and placebo using the hyperspectral imaging. Hyperspectral data analysis showed that variations of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin concentrations had no statistical significance in both groups. In conclusion, photobiomodulation therapy does not induce changes in oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin concentrations in the normal skin measured from hyperspectral images, at least at λ = 635 nm and 900-s exposure time.

Abstract
PURPOSE Orthostasis at sea level decreases brain tissue oxygenation and increases risk of syncope. High altitude reduces brain and peripheral muscle tissue oxygenation. This study determined the effect of short-term altitude acclimatization on cerebral and peripheral leg tissue oxygenation index (TOI) post-orthostasis. METHOD Seven lowlanders completed a supine-to-stand maneuver at sea level (450 m) and for 3 consecutive days at high altitude (3776 m). Cardiorespiratory measurements and near-infrared spectroscopy-derived oxygenation of the frontal lobe (cerebral TOI) and vastus lateralis (leg TOI) were measured at supine and 5-min post-orthostasis. RESULTS After orthostasis at sea level, cerebral TOI decreased [mean Δ% (95% confidential interval): - 4.5%, (- 7.5, - 1.5), P < 0.001], whilst leg TOI was unchanged [- 4.6%, (- 10.9, 1.7), P = 0.42]. High altitude had no effect on cerebral TOI following orthostasis [days 1-3: - 2.3%, (- 5.3, 0.7); - 2.4%, (- 5.4, 0.6); - 2.1%, (- 5.1, 0.9), respectively, all P > 0.05], whereas leg TOI decreased [days 1-3: - 12.0%, (- 18.3, - 5.7); - 12.1%, (- 18.4, - 5.8); - 10.2%, (- 16.5, - 3.9), respectively, all P < 0.001]. This response did not differ with days spent at high altitude, despite evidence of cardiorespiratory acclimatization [increased peripheral oxygen saturation (supine: P = 0.01; stand: P = 0.02) and decreased end-tidal carbon dioxide (supine: P = 0.003; stand: P = 0.01)]. CONCLUSION Cerebral oxygenation is preferentially maintained over leg oxygenation post-orthostasis at high altitude, suggesting different vascular regulation between cerebral and peripheral circulations. Short-term acclimatization to high altitude did not alter cerebral and leg oxygenation responses to orthostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an emerging tool to identify signs of inadequate tissue oxygenation in preterm neonates with acute kidney injury (AKI). Previous studies have shown a correlation between low renal tissue oxygenation (RrSO2) in the first 24 hours of age and the later development of AKI. In this prospective clinical trial, NIRS monitoring was used to identify changes in RrSO2 in comparison to traditional AKI markers, serum creatinine (SCr), and urine output (UOP). METHODS We enrolled 35 preterm neonates born less than 32 weeks' gestation and applied neonatal NIRS sensors at less than 48 hours of age. Neonates underwent 7 days of continuous monitoring. Renal and demographic information were collected for the first 7 days of age. AKI was determined by the modified neonatal Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition including UOP. RESULTS Three patients experienced AKI, all based on both SCr and UOP criteria. Each neonate with AKI had decreases in RrSO2 over 48 hours prior to changes in SCr and UOP. Patients with AKI had lower median RrSO2 values compared to patients without AKI over the first week of age, (32.4% vs. 60%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION RrSO2 monitoring identified preterm neonates at risk for AKI. NIRS detected a decline in RrSO2 prior to changes in SCr and UOP and was significantly lower in patients with AKI compared to those without AKI. Further studies are needed to evaluate the ability of RrSO2 monitoring to detect signs of kidney stress prior to the diagnosis of AKI. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Purpose: Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a noninvasive spectroscopy technique for determining superficial tissue oxygenation. The HyperView™ system is a hand-held camera that enables perfusion image acquisition. The evaluation of superficial tissue oxygenation is warranted in the evaluation of patients with peripheral arterial disease. The aim was to determine the reliability of repeated HSI measurements. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, HSI was performed on 50 healthy volunteers with a mean age of 26.4 ± 2.5 years, at the lower extremity. Two independent observers performed HSI during two subsequent measurement sessions. Short term test–retest reliability and intra- and inter-observer reliability were determined, and generalizability and decision studies were performed. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPo2) measurements were also performed. Results: The short term test–retest reliability was good for the HSI values determined at the lower extremity, ranging from 0.72 to 0.90. Intra- and inter-observer reliability determined at different days were poor to moderate for both HSI (0.24 to 0.71 and 0.30 to 0.58, respectively) and TcPo2 (0.54 and 0.56, and 0.51 and 0.31, respectively). Reliability can be increased to >0.75 by averaging two measurements on different days. Conclusion: This study showed good short term test–retest reliability for HSI measurements, however low intra- and inter-observer reliability was observed for tissue oxygenation measurements with both HSI and TcPo2 performed at separate days in young healthy volunteers. Reliability of HSI can be improved when determined as a mean of two measurements taken on different days.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Microcirculatory alterations are key mechanisms in sepsis pathophysiology leading to tissue hypoxia, edema formation, and organ dysfunction. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an emerging imaging technology that uses tissue-light interactions to evaluate biochemical tissue characteristics including tissue oxygenation, hemoglobin content and water content. Currently, clinical data for HSI technologies in critical ill patients are still limited. METHODS AND ANALYSIS TIVITA® Tissue System was used to measure Tissue oxygenation (StO2), Tissue Hemoglobin Index (THI), Near Infrared Perfusion Index (NPI) and Tissue Water Index (TWI) in 25 healthy volunteers and 25 septic patients. HSI measurement sites were the palm, the fingertip, and a suprapatellar knee area. Septic patients were evaluated on admission to the ICU (E), 6 h afterwards (E+6) and three times a day (t3-t9) within a total observation period of 72 h. Primary outcome was the correlation of HSI results with daily SOFA-scores. RESULTS Serial HSI at the three measurement sites in healthy volunteers showed a low mean variance expressing high retest reliability. HSI at E demonstrated significantly lower StO2 and NPI as well as higher TWI at the palm and fingertip in septic patients compared to healthy volunteers. StO2 and TWI showed corresponding results at the suprapatellar knee area. In septic patients, palm and fingertip THI identified survivors (E-t4) and revealed predictivity for 28-day mortality (E). Fingertip StO2 and THI correlated to SOFA-score on day 2. TWI was consistently increased in relation to the TWI range of healthy controls during the observation time. Palm TWI correlated positively with SOFA scores on day 3. DISCUSSION HSI results in septic patients point to a distinctive microcirculatory pattern indicative of reduced skin oxygenation and perfusion quality combined with increased blood pooling and tissue water content. THI might possess risk-stratification properties and TWI could allow tissue edema evaluation in critically ill patients. CONCLUSION HSI technologies could open new perspectives in microcirculatory monitoring by visualizing oxygenation and perfusion quality combined with tissue water content in critically ill patients - a prerequisite for future tissue perfusion guided therapy concepts in intensive care medicine.

Abstract
Kidney-associated pathologies would greatly benefit from noninvasive and robust methods that can objectively quantify changes in renal function. In the past years there has been a growing incentive to develop new applications for fluorine (19F) MRI in biomedical research to study functional changes during disease states. 19F MRI represents an instrumental tool for the quantification of exogenous 19F substances in vivo. One of the major benefits of 19F MRI is that fluorine in its organic form is absent in eukaryotic cells. Therefore, the introduction of exogenous 19F signals in vivo will yield background-free images, thus providing highly selective detection with absolute specificity in vivo. Here we introduce the concept of 19F MRI, describe existing challenges, especially those pertaining to signal sensitivity, and give an overview of preclinical applications to illustrate the utility and applicability of this technique for measuring renal function in animal models.This chapter is based upon work from the COST Action PARENCHIMA, a community-driven network funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) program of the European Union, which aims to improve the reproducibility and standardization of renal MRI biomarkers. This introduction chapter is complemented by two separate chapters describing the experimental procedure and data analysis.

Abstract
The neonatal brain is a vulnerable organ, and lesions due to hemorrhage and/or ischemia occur frequently in preterm neonates. Even though neuroprotective therapies exist, there is no tool available to detect the ischemic lesions. To address this problem, we have recently designed and built the new time-domain near-infrared optical tomography (TD NIROT) system - Pioneer. Here we present the results of a phantom study of the system performance. We used silicone phantoms to mimic risky situations for brain lesions: hemorrhage and hypoxia. Employing Pioneer, we were able to reconstruct accurately both position and optical properties of these inhomogeneities.

Abstract
In preterm infants, there is a risk of life-lasting impairments due to hemorrhagic/ischemic lesions. Our time-domain (TD) near-infrared optical tomography (NIROT) system "Pioneer" aims at detecting both disorders with high spatial resolution. Successfully tested on phantoms, "Pioneer" entered the phase of improvements and enhancements. The current probe (A-probe) was adapted for an optoacoustics instrument. A new probe (B-probe) optimized for TD measurements is required. Our aim is to determine the optimal arrangement of light sources in the B-probe to increase the sensitivity and the resolution of Pioneer and to improve the ability of the system to detect both ischemia and hemorrhage. To do this, we simulated TD-NIROT signals in NIRFAST, a MATLAB-based package used to model near-infrared light propagation through tissue. We used 16 × 16 detector array, with ~2.2 mm distance between the detectors. Light sources were arranged around the field of view (FoV). We performed forward simulations of light propagation through a "homogeneous case" (HC) tissue (μ's = 5.6 cm-1, μa = 0.07 cm-1). Next, we simulated light propagation through "inhomogeneous case" -tissue' (IC) tissue by adding ischemia (μa = μa · 2.5 cm-1) or hemorrhage (μa = μa · 50 cm-1) to HT as a spherical inclusion of 5 mm radius at different depths in the FoV center and identified the source location that provides the higher contrast on the FoV: maxi ∈ I (FoVContrastSOURCE). It was found that sources located closer to the FoV center generate greater contrast for late photons. This study suggests the light sources in B-probe should be closer to the FoV center. The higher sensitivity is expected to lead to a higher image quality.

Abstract
Transcutaneous oxygen pressure reflects the balance between cardiac output, arterial oxygenation, and the metabolic rate of the tissue. In septic shock, it allows a real time assessment of the adequacy of tissue perfusion, and therefore it has been proposed as a non-invasive tool to guide the hemodynamic resuscitation process. However, its value is limited in those situations where cardiac output has been optimized, but tissue dysoxia persists as results of an impairment in oxygen utilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Balanced anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil, compared to sufentanil, often decreases mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and cardiac index (CI), raising concerns on tissue-oxygenation. This distinct haemodynamic suppression might be attenuated by atropine. This double blinded RCT, investigates if induction with propofol-sufentanil results in higher CI and tissue-oxygenation than with propofol-remifentanil and if atropine has more pronounced beneficial effects on CI and tissue-oxygenation in a remifentanil-based anaesthesia. METHODS In seventy patients scheduled for coronary bypass grafting (CABG), anaesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol target controlled infusion (TCI) with a target effect-site concentration (Cet) of 2.0 μg ml- 1 and either sufentanil (TCI Cet 0.48 ng ml- 1) or remifentanil (TCI Cet 8 ng ml- 1). If HR dropped below 60 bpm, methylatropine (1 mg) was administered intravenously. Relative changes (∆) in MAP, HR, stroke volume (SV), CI and cerebral (SctO2) and peripheral (SptO2) tissue-oxygenation during induction of anaesthesia and after atropine administration were analysed. RESULTS The sufentanil group compared to the remifentanil group showed significantly less decrease in MAP (∆ = - 23 ± 13 vs. -36 ± 13 mmHg), HR (∆ = - 5 ± 7 vs. -10 ± 10 bpm), SV (∆ = - 23 ± 18 vs. -35 ± 19 ml) and CI (∆ = - 0.8 (- 1.5 to - 0.5) vs. -1.5 (- 2.0 to - 1.1) l min- 1 m- 2), while SctO2 (∆ = 9 ± 5 vs. 6 ± 4%) showed more increase with no difference in ∆SptO2 (∆ = 8 ± 7 vs. 8 ± 8%). Atropine caused higher ∆HR (13 (9 to 19) vs. 10 ± 6 bpm) and ∆CI (0.4 ± 0.4 vs. 0.2 ± 0.3 l min- 1 m- 2) in sufentanil vs. remifentanil-based anaesthesia, with no difference in ∆MAP, ∆SV and ∆SctO2 and ∆SptO2. CONCLUSION Induction of anaesthesia with propofol and sufentanil results in improved haemodynamic stability and higher SctO2 compared to propofol and remifentanil in patients having CABG. Administration of atropine might be useful to counteract or prevent the haemodynamic suppression associated with these opioids.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether assessment of tissue oxygenation could help personalizing the mean arterial pressure (MAP) target in patients with septic shock. METHODS We prospectively measured near-infrared spectroscopy variables in 22 patients with septic shock receiving norepinephrine with a MAP>75 mmHg within the first six hours of intensive care unit (ICU) stay for patients with community-acquired septic shock and within the first six hours of resuscitation for patients with ICU-acquired septic shock. All measurements were performed at MAP>75 mmHg ("high-MAP") and at MAP 65-70 mmHg ("low-MAP") after decreasing the norepinephrine dose. Relative changes in StO2 recovery slope (RS) >8% were considered clinically relevant. RESULTS After decreasing the norepinephrine dose by 45 ± 24%, MAP significantly decreased from 81[78;84] to 68[67;69]mmHg, whereas cardiac index did not change. On average, the StO2-RS significantly decreased between high and low-MAP from 2.86[1.87;4.32] to 2.41[1.14;3.72]%/sec with a large interindividual variability: the StO2-RS decreased by >8% in 14 patients, increased by >8% in 4 patients and changes were < 8% in 4 patients. These changes in StO2-RS were correlated with the StO2-RS at low-MAP (r = 0.57,p = 0.006). At high-MAP, there was no difference between patients exhibiting a relevant decrease or increase in StO2-RS. CONCLUSIONS A unique MAP target may not be suitable for all patients with septic shock as its impact on peripheral oxygenation may widely differ among patients. It could make sense to personalize MAP target through a multimodal assessment including peripheral oxygenation.

Abstract
Background Weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) is a cardiovascular stress test. Monitoring the regional oxygenation status has shown promising results in predicting the tolerance to spontaneously breathe in the process of weaning from MV. Our aim was to determine whether changes in skeletal muscle oxygen saturation (StO2) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) on the thenar eminence during a vascular occlusion test (VOT) can be used to predict extubation failure from mechanical ventilation. Methods We prospectively studied 206 adult patients with acute respiratory failure receiving MV for at least 48 h from a 30-bed mixed ICU, who were deemed ready to wean by their physicians. Patients underwent a 30-min spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), and were extubated according to the local protocol. Continuous StO2 was measured non-invasively on the thenar eminence. A VOT was performed prior to and at 30 min of the SBT (SBT30). The rate of StO2 deoxygenation (DeO2), StO2 reoxygenation (ReO2) rate and StO2 hyperemic response to ischemia (HAUC) were calculated. Results Thirty-six of the 206 patients (17%) failed their SBT. The remainder 170 patients (83%) were extubated. Twenty-three of these patients (13.5%) needed reinstitution of MV within 24 h. Reintubated patients displayed a lower HAUC at baseline, and higher relative changes in their StO2 deoxygenation rate between baseline and SBT30 (DeO2 Ratio). A logistic regression-derived StO2 score, combining baseline StO2, HAUC and DeO2 ratio, showed an AUC of 0.84 (95% CI 0.74–0.91) for prediction of extubation failure. Conclusions Extubation failure was associated to baseline and dynamic StO2 alterations during the SBT. Monitoring StO2-derived parameters might be useful in predicting extubation outcome.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of different water immersion temperatures on handgrip performance and haemodynamic changes in the forearm flexors of males and females. Twenty-nine rock-climbers performed three repeated intermittent handgrip contractions to failure with 20 min recovery on three separate laboratory visits. For each visit, a randomly assigned recovery strategy was applied: cold water immersion (CWI) at 8 °C (CW8), 15 °C (CW15) or passive recovery (PAS). While handgrip performance significantly decreased in the subsequent trials for the PAS (p < 0.05), there was a significant increase in time to failure for the second and third trial for CW15 and in the second trial for CW8; males having greater performance improvement (44%) after CW15 than females (26%). The results indicate that CW15 was a more tolerable and effective recovery strategy than CW8 and the same CWI protocol may lead to different recovery in males and females.

Abstract
Bull testes must be 4-5 °C below body temperature, with testicular warming more likely to cause poor-quality sperm in Bos taurus (European/British) versus Bos indicus (Indian/zebu) bulls. Despite a long-standing dogma that testicular hyperthermia causes hypoxia, we reported that increasing testicular temperature in bulls and rams enhanced testicular blood flow and O2 delivery/uptake, without hypoxia. Our objective was to determine effects of short-term testicular hyperthermia on testicular blood flow, O2 delivery and uptake and evidence of testicular hypoxia in pubertal Angus (B. taurus) and Nelore (B. indicus) bulls (nine per breed) under isoflurane anesthesia. As testes were warmed from 34 to 40 °C, there were increases (P < 0.0001, but no breed effects) in testicular blood flow (mean ± SEM, 9.59 ± 0.10 vs 17.67 ± 0.29 mL/min/100 g, respectively), O2 delivery (1.79 ± 0.06 vs 3.44 ± 0.11 mL O2/min/100 g) and O2 consumption (0.69 ± 0.07 vs 1.25 ± 0.54 mL O2/min/100 g), but no indications of testicular hypoxia. Hypotheses that: 1) both breeds increase testicular blood flow in response to testicular warming; and 2) neither breed has testicular hypoxia, were supported; however, the hypothesis that the relative increase in blood flow is greater in Angus versus Nelore was not supported. Although these were short-term increases in testicular temperature in anesthetized bulls, results did not support the long-standing dogma that increased testicular temperature does not increase testicular blood flow and an ensuing hypoxia is responsible for decreases in motile, morphologically normal and fertile sperm.

Abstract
Monitoring of cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS oximetry) has great potential to reduce the incidence of hypoxic and hyperoxic events and thus prevent long-term disabilities in preterm neonates. Since the light has to penetrate superficial layers (bone, skin and cerebrospinal fluid) before it reaches the brain, the question arises whether these layers influence cerebral StO2 measurement. We assessed this influence on the accuracy of cerebral StO2 values. For that purpose, we simulated light propagation with 'N-layered medium' software. It was found that with a superficial layer thickness of ≤6 mm, typical for term and preterm neonates, StO2 accurately reflects cerebral tissue oxygenation.

Abstract
Background Cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) can induce microvascular dysfunction and tissue hypoperfusion. We hypothesized that the alterations in near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-derived parameters would be associated with post-operative complications in cardiac surgery patients. Methods Prospective observational study performed at two University Hospitals. Ninety patients undergoing cardiac surgery with ECC were enrolled. The NIRS sensor was applied on the thenar eminence. A vascular occlusion test (VOT, 3-min ischemia) was performed at baseline (t0), at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission (t1), 3 (t2) and 6 (t3) hours later. Baseline tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), oxygen extraction rate and microvascular reactivity indices were calculated. Results In the first hours after cardiac surgery, StO2 tended to increase (86% [80–89] at T3 versus 82% [79–86] at T0, p = ns), while both tissue oxygen extraction and microvascular reactivity tended to decrease, as indicated by increasing occlusion slope (− 8.1%/min [− 11.2 to − 7] at T3 versus − 11.2%/min [− 13.9 to − 7.9] at T0, p = ns) and decreasing recovery slope (1.9%/sec [1.1–2.9] at T3 versus 3.1%/sec [2.3–3.9] at T0, p = ns). No substantial differences were found in NIRS-derived variables and their changes over time between patients with complications and those without complications. Conclusions Peripheral tissue oxygen extraction and microvascular reactivity were reduced during the first hours after cardiac surgery. NIRS-derived parameters were not able to predict complications in this population of cardiac surgery patients.

Abstract
A 76-year-old woman on hemodialysis (HD) for diabetic nephropathy was admitted to our hospital with occasional intradialytic hypotension (IDH). We continuously monitored the regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) in the brain, liver, and lower limb muscle during HD. The time course of changes in rSO2 ratios in each region was evaluated throughout HD. The rSO2 ratio was defined as the ratio of rSO2 value at t (min) during HD to the rSO2 value before HD. During the early phase of HD, blood pressure (BP) gradually decreased and both hepatic and lower limb muscle rSO2 ratios decreased with changes in BP, whereas the cerebral rSO2 ratio was relatively maintained. At around 90 min after HD initiation, the BP decreased to 71/46 mmHg (mean BP, 54 mmHg) and the previously maintained cerebral rSO2 ratio also suddenly decreased. Soon after the onset of IDH, ultrafiltration was stopped, normal saline was infused, and intravenous noradrenaline infusion was started. After the BP recovered, cerebral and hepatic rSO2 ratios improved, but the lower limb muscle rSO2 ratio remained low. After restarting ultrafiltration, improvement in the lower limb muscle rSO2 ratio was delayed, although cerebral and hepatic oxygenation were maintained. This observation aids in our understanding of the effect of IDH on regional tissue oxygenation.

Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has become an increasingly valuable tool to monitor tissue oxygenation (Toxy) in vivo. Observations of changes in the absorption of light with Toxy have been recognized as early as 1876, leading to a milestone NIRS paper by Jöbsis in 1977. Changes in the absorption and scatting of light in the 700-850-nm range has been successfully used to evaluate Toxy. The most practical devices use continuous-wave light providing relative values of Toxy. Phase-modulated or pulsed light can monitor both absorption and scattering providing more accurate signals. NIRS provides excellent time resolution (~ 10 Hz), and multiple source-detector pairs can be used to provide low-resolution imaging. NIRS has been applied to a wide range of populations. Continued development of NIRS devices in terms of lower cost, better detection of both absorption and scattering, and smaller size will lead to a promising future for NIRS studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous monitoring of cerebral autoregulation is considered clinically useful due to its ability to warn against brain ischemic insults, which may translate to a relationship with adverse outcome. It is typically performed using the pressure reactivity index (PRx) based on mean arterial pressure and intracranial pressure. A new ORx index based on brain tissue oxygenation and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) has been proposed that similarly allows for evaluation of cerebrovascular reactivity. Conflicting results exist concerning its clinical utility. METHODS Retrospective analysis was performed in 85 patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). ORx was calculated using three time windows of 5, 20, and 60 min. Correlation coefficients and individual "optimal CPP" (CPPopt) were calculated using both PRx and ORx, and relation to patient outcome investigated. RESULTS Correlation coefficients for all comparisons between PRx and ORx indicated poor association between these indices (range from -0.04 to 0.07). PRx was significantly lower in patients with good outcome (p = 0.01), while none of the ORx indices proved to be significantly different in the two outcome groups. Higher mortality related to average CPP < CPPopt was found regardless of which index was used to calculate CPPopt. CONCLUSION In the TBI setting, ORx does not appear to correlate with vascular pressure reactivity as assessed with PRx. Its potential use for individualizing CPP thresholds remains unclear.

Abstract
Dissolved oxygen and its availability to cells in culture is an overlooked variable which can have significant consequences on experimental research outcomes, including reproducibility. Oxygen sensing pathways play key roles in cell growth and behavior and pericellular oxygen levels should be controlled when establishing in vitro models. Standard cell culture techniques do not have adequate control over pericellular oxygen levels. Slow diffusion through culture media limits the precision of oxygen delivery to cells, making it difficult to accurately reproduce in vivo-like oxygen conditions. Furthermore, different types of cells consume oxygen at varying rates and this can be affected by the density of growing cells. Here, we describe a novel in vitro system that utilizes hypoxic chambers and oxygen-permeable culture dishes to control pericellular oxygen levels and provide rapid oxygen delivery to adherent cells. This procedure is particularly relevant for protocols studying effects of rapid oxygen changes or intermittent hypoxia on cellular behavior. The system is inexpensive and easily assembled without highly specialized equipment.

Abstract
Background In patients with septic shock, the skin is often chosen for the evaluation of peripheral perfusion and oxygenation. Changes in skin microcirculatory vessel oxygen saturation and relative hemoglobin concentration can be described using a mottling score or captured with hyperspectral imaging. However, the effectiveness of the mottling score in assessing microcirculation remains to be shown. We hypothesize that the mottling score in patients with septic shock is related to skin microcirculatory perfusion indices quantified by hyperspectral imaging, biomarkers that reflect endothelium activation and damage, and clinical outcome. Methods Hyperspectral imaging of the knee area was performed in 95 intensive care patients with septic shock enrolled in a single-center observational study to obtain relative oxy/deoxyhemoglobin concentration values and construct anatomical maps of skin microcirculatory saturation. The blood was sampled to obtain concentrations of thrombomodulin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), angiopoietin-2, and syndecan-1. The spectrophotometrically obtained skin microvascular perfusion indices were compared to the mottling score and biomarker concentration. The association between mottling score, skin microcirculatory perfusion indices, and 28-day mortality was also analyzed. Results Microcirculatory oxygen saturation was significantly lower and total hemoglobin concentration was significantly higher in patients with a mottling score of 2 compared to those with a score of 0 (p = 0.02), with no difference between other scores. We found an association between microcirculatory oxygen saturation and PAI-1 levels (rho = − 0.3; p = 0.007). Increased mottling score and decreased microcirculatory oxygen saturation were predictive of 28-day mortality (mottling score 2 vs 0: OR 15.31, 95% CI 4.12–68.11; microcirculatory oxygen saturation: OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.85–0.95). Endothelial biomarkers did not increase the predictive value of skin microcirculatory perfusion indices. Conclusions Higher mottling scores are associated with lower microcirculatory oxygen saturation but with significant overlap between scores. Microcirculatory oxygen saturation is a quantitative measure of peripheral oxygenation and is more specific than the mottling score in predicting 28-day mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterogeneity of microvascular blood flow leading to tissue hypoxia is a common finding in patients with septic shock. It may be related to suboptimal systemic perfusion pressure and lead to organ failure. Mapping of skin microcirculatory oxygen saturation and relative hemoglobin concentration using hyperspectral imaging allows to identify heterogeneity of perfusion and perform targeted measurement of oxygenation. We hypothesized that increasing mean arterial pressure would result in improved oxygenation in areas of the skin with most microvascular blood pooling. METHODS We included adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit within the previous 24 h with sepsis and receiving a noradrenaline infusion. Skin oxygen saturation was measured using hyperspectral imaging-based method at baseline and after the increase in mean arterial pressure by 20 mm Hg by titration of noradrenaline doses. The primary outcome was an increase in skin oxygen saturation depending upon disease severity. RESULTS We studied 30 patients with septic shock. Median skin oxygen saturation changed from 26.0 (24.5-27.0) % at baseline to 30.0 (29.0-31.0) % after increase in mean arterial pressure (p = 0.04). After adjustment for baseline saturation, patients with higher SOFA scores achieved higher oxygen saturation after the intervention (r2 = 0.21; p = 0.02). Skin oxygen saturation measured at higher pressure was found to be marginally predictive of mortality (OR: 1.10; 95% CI 1.00-1.23; p = 0.053). CONCLUSIONS Improvement of microcirculatory oxygenation can be achieved with an increase in mean arterial pressure in most patients. Response to study intervention is proportional to disease severity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the relationship between central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (PcvaCO2), PcvaCO2/arterial-venous oxygen content difference ratio (PcvaCO2/CavO2) and the microcirculatory status, evaluated by using near-infrared spectroscopy, in septic shock patients. METHODS Observational study in a 30-bed mixed ICU. Fifty septic shock patients within the first 24 h of ICU admission were studied. After restoration of mean arterial pressure, hemodynamic, metabolic and microcirculatory parameters were simultaneously evaluated. Local tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), and local hemoglobin index (THI) were measured on the thenar eminence by means of near-infrared spectroscopy. A transient vascular occlusion test was performed in order to obtain StO2 deoxygenation rate (DeO2), local oxygen consumption (nirVO2), and reoxgenation rate (ReO2). RESULTS At inclusion, increased PcvaCO2 values were associated with lower StO2 and THI, whereas increased PcvaCO2/CavO2 values were associated with lower DeO2, nirVO2, and ReO2. Multiple regression models confirmed the association between PcvaCO2/CavO2 and nirVO2, while PcvaCO2 was only related to CI, and not to microcirculatory parameters. CONCLUSIONS In a population of early septic shock patients, increases in PcvaCO2 and PcvaCO2/CavO2 reflected different alterations at the microcirculatory level. While PcvaCO2 was related to global flow, the PcvaCO2/CavO2 ratio was associated to impaired local oxygen utilization and diminished microvascular reactivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive procedures such as cardiac surgery are associated with perioperative dysfunction of macrocirculation and/or microcirculation and organ failures. Maintenance or resuscitation of an adequate macrocirculation and/or microcirculation is thus crucial in patients after cardiac surgery. We investigated the prognostic power of early central venous-arterial carbon dioxide pressure difference (delta-pCO2) after cardiac surgery. METHODS Retrospective analysis of data from 1,019 cardiac surgery patients treated in the ICU of a tertiary medical care academic center. Clinical outcomes and laboratory measures including metabolic indices and calculated delta-pCO2 were assessed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated and sensitivity / specificity analysis was performed. Univariate and multivariate regression models were analyzed. RESULTS The area under the ROC curve for delta-pCO2 to predict ICU mortality was 0.72 (sensitivity 65% / specificity 76%) with an optimal delta-pCO2 cut-off value of 8.6 mmHg. In multivariate regression, delta-pCO2 was associated with increased ICU mortality (HR 3.72, 95%-CI 1.3-10.66, p = 0.02). After adjustment for typical confounders, delta-pCO2 remained as independent predictor of ICU mortality after cardiac surgery. CONCLUSIONS In a retrospective data analysis in a large sample of adult post cardiac surgery patients treated in the ICU, we observed that admission central venous-arterial delta-pCO2 independently predicts ICU mortality. Delta-pCO2 might thus contribute risk stratification in ICU patients after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumatic tourniquet inflation during extremity surgery leads to profound and prolonged tissue ischemia. Its effect on tissue oxygenation is inadequately studied. METHODS Patients undergoing elective ankle surgery with tourniquet application participated in this observational cohort study. Somatic and cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SstO2 and SctO2) were monitored using tissue near-infrared spectroscopy. Oxygenation was monitored distally (SstO2-distal) and proximally to the tourniquet, on the contralateral leg, and the forehead (a total of 4 tissue beds). Tissue oxygenation at different time points was compared. The magnitude, duration, and load (product of magnitude and duration) of tissue desaturation during tourniquet inflation were correlated with tissue resaturation and hypersaturation after tourniquet deflation. RESULTS Data of 26 patients were analyzed. The tourniquet inflation time was 120 ± 31 mins. Following a rapid desaturation from 77 ± 8% pre-inflation to 38 ± 20% 10 mins post-inflation, SstO2-distal slowly and continuously desaturated and reach the nadir (16 ± 11%) toward the end of inflation. After deflation, SstO2-distal rapidly resaturated from 16 ± 11% to 91 ± 5% (i.e., hypersaturation); SstO2 monitored proximally to the tourniquet and on contralateral leg had significant but small desaturation (~ 2-3%, p < 0.001); in contrast, SctO2 remained stable. The desaturation load had a significant correlation with resaturation magnitude (p < 0.001); while the desaturation duration had a significant correlation with hypersaturation magnitude (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Tissue dys-oxygenation following tourniquet application can be reliably monitored using tissue oximetry. Its outcome significance remains to be determined.

Abstract
Acute and chronic wounds affect millions and are associated with billions of dollars in healthcare costs. The use of healing markers, biochemical cues from biocompatible matrices and materials, and their correlation with wound healing has the potential to generate valuable diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information. In this study, we developed a collagen-dextran oxygen-sensing biocomposite scaffold membrane in which a phosphorescent oxygen sensor was incorporated to monitor physiological oxygen using in vivo phosphorescence imaging in a preclinical mouse model of wound healing. The oxygen-sensing biocomposite scaffold membrane enabled the noninvasive and longitudinal monitoring of oxygenation changes in vivo in an approach compatible with commercially available preclinical in vivo imaging system instruments. This study provides a new and novel capability where a biocomposite material can serve as a biocompatible, biodegradable theranostic platform to promote and assess tissue oxygenation during wound healing.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Beneficial effects of human adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cell injection on microcirculation have been recently reported in in vitro and in vivo studies. However, no clinical studies have reported its effect in diabetic patients who commonly experience compromised tissue perfusion, regardless of the status of intravascular blood flow. The present piloting study was designed to clinically examine the possibility of SVF cell injection to accelerate microcirculation, particularly in ischemic diabetic feet. Methods Ten diabetic feet were included to receive subcutaneous injection of SVF cells around wounds. Transcutaneous partial oxygen pressure (TcPO2) and cutaneous microvascular blood flow were measured before and every four weeks after cell injection until the 12th week visit. Results TcPO2 values increased from 31.3±7.4 before injection to 46.4±8.2 mmHg at 12 weeks after SVF injection (1.5-fold, p<0.05). Cutaneous microvascular blood flow levels increased from 34.0±21.1 before injection to 76.1±32.5 perfusion unit at 12 weeks after SVF injection (2.2-fold, p<0.05). There were no adverse events related to SVF cell injection. Conclusions Results of this study demonstrate that adipose-derived SVF cell injection have the possibility to provide beneficial effects on microcirculation in ischemic diabetic feet.
