Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a Novel Approach to Modulating Macrophage Polarization for the Treatment of Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain cancer with a poor prognosis despite current treatments.This is partially attributed to the immunosuppressive environment facilitated by tumor-associated macrophages, which predominantly underlie the tumor-promoting M2 phenotype.This study investigated the potential of hyperbaric oxygen (HB

Enhancing photoacoustic imaging for lung diagnostics and BCI communication: simulation of cavity structures artifact generation and evaluation of noise reduction techniques

Pandemics like COVID-19 have highlighted the potential of Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) communication and lung diagnostics.However, PAI struggles with the clear imaging of blood vessels in areas like the lungs and brain due to their cavity structures.This paper presents a simulation model to analyze the generation a
