Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy with Infrared Thermography for Accurate Prediction of Cellulitis.

ABSTRACT: Cellulitis is frequently misdiagnosed owing to its clinical mimickers, collectively known as pseudocellulitis. This study investigated diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) alone and in combination with infrared thermography (IRT) for the differentiation of cellulitis from pseudocellulitis. A prospective cohort study at an urban academic hospital was conducted from March 2017 to March 2018. Patients presenting to the emergency department with presumed cellulitis were screened for eligibility, and 30 adult patients were enrolled. Dermatology consultation conferred a final diagnosis of cellulitis or pseudocellulitis. DRS measurements yielded a spectral ratio between 556 nm (deoxyhemoglobin peak) and 542 nm (oxyhemoglobin peak), and IRT measurements yielded temperature differentials between the affected and unaffected skin. Of the 30 enrolled patients, 30% were diagnosed with pseudocellulitis. DRS revealed higher spectral ratios in patients with cellulitis (P = 0.005). A single parameter model using logistic regression on DRS measurements alone demonstrated a classification accuracy of 77.0%. A dual parameter model using linear discriminant analysis on DRS and IRT measurements combined demonstrated a 95.2% sensitivity, 77.8% specificity, and 90.0% accuracy for cellulitis prediction. DRS and IRT combined diagnoses cellulitis with an accuracy of 90%. DRS and IRT are inexpensive and noninvasive, and their use may reduce cellulitis misdiagnosis.

Instrument independent diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.

Project description:Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with a fiber optic probe is a powerful tool for quantitative tissue characterization and disease diagnosis. Significant systematic errors can arise in the measured reflectance spectra and thus in the derived tissue physiological and morphological parameters due to real-time instrument fluctuations. We demonstrate a novel fiber optic probe with real-time, self-calibration capability that can be used for UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in biological tissue in clinical settings. The probe is tested in a number of synthetic liquid phantoms over a wide range of tissue optical properties for significant variations in source intensity fluctuations caused by instrument warm up and day-to-day drift. While the accuracy for extraction of absorber concentrations is comparable to that achieved with the traditional calibration (with a reflectance standard), the accuracy for extraction of reduced scattering coefficients is significantly improved with the self-calibration probe compared to traditional calibration. This technology could be used to achieve instrument-independent diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in vivo and obviate the need for instrument warm up and post∕premeasurement calibration, thus saving up to an hour of precious clinical time.

Identification of Rice Varieties and Transgenic Characteristics Based on Near-Infrared Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy and Chemometrics.

Project description:In recent years, genetically modified technology has developed rapidly, and the potential impact of genetically modified foods on human health and the ecological environment has received increasing attention. The currently used methods for testing genetically modified foods are cumbersome, time-consuming, and expensive. This paper proposed a more efficient and convenient detection method. Near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (NIRDRS) combined with multivariate calibration methods, including principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and support vector machines (SVM), were used for identification of different rice varieties and transgenic (Bt63)/non-transgenic rice. Spectral pretreatment methods, including Norris-Williams smooth (NWS), standard normal variate (SNV), multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), and Savitzky-Golay 1st derivative (SG 1st-Der), were used for spectral noise reduction and effective information enhancement. Accuracy was used to evaluate the qualitative discriminant models. The results showed that the SG 1st-Der pretreatment method, combined with the SVM, provided the optimal model to distinguish different rice varieties. The accuracy of the optimal model was 98.33%. For the discrimination model of transgenic/non-transgenic rice, the SNV-SVM model, MSC-SVM model, and SG 1st-Der-PLS-DA model all achieved good analysis results with the accuracy of 100%. The results showed that portable NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics methods could be used to identify rice varieties and transgenic characteristics (Bt63) due to its fast, non-destructive, and accurate advantages.

Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy for the Determination of Asbestos Species in Bulk Building Materials.

Project description:Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy is a well-known technique for thin film characterization. Since all asbestos species exhibit intense adsorptions peaks in the 4000-400 cm-1 region of the infrared spectrum, a quantitative analysis of asbestos in bulk samples by DRIFT is possible. In this work, different quantitative analytical procedures have been used to quantify chrysotile content in bulk materials produced by building requalification: partial least squares (PLS) chemometrics, the Linear Calibration Curve Method (LCM) and the Method of Additions (MoA). Each method has its own pros and cons, but all give affordable results for material characterization: the amount of asbestos (around 10%, weight by weight) can be determined with precision and accuracy (errors less than 0.1).

Ecological risk assessment on heavy metals in soils: Use of soil diffuse reflectance mid-infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy.

Project description:The bioavailability of heavy metals in soil is controlled by their concentrations and soil properties. Diffuse reflectance mid-infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) is capable of detecting specific organic and inorganic bonds in metal complexes and minerals and therefore, has been employed to predict soil composition and heavy metal contents. The present study explored the potential of DRIFTS for estimating soil heavy metal bioavailability. Soil and corresponding wheat grain samples from the Yangtze River Delta region were analyzed by DRIFTS and chemical methods. Statistical regression analyses were conducted to correlate the soil spectral information to the concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, Hg and Fe in wheat grains. The principal components in the spectra influencing soil heavy metal bioavailability were identified and used in prediction model construction. The established soil DRIFTS-based prediction models were applied to estimate the heavy metal concentrations in wheat grains in the mid-Yangtze River Delta area. The predicted heavy metal concentrations of wheat grain were highly consistent with the measured levels by chemical analysis, showing a significant correlation (r2 > 0.72) with acceptable root mean square error RMSE. In conclusion, DRIFTS is a promising technique for assessing the bioavailability of soil heavy metals and related ecological risk.

Prediction of Soil Organic Carbon at the European Scale by Visible and Near InfraRed Reflectance Spectroscopy.

Project description:Soil organic carbon is a key soil property related to soil fertility, aggregate stability and the exchange of CO2 with the atmosphere. Existing soil maps and inventories can rarely be used to monitor the state and evolution in soil organic carbon content due to their poor spatial resolution, lack of consistency and high updating costs. Visible and Near Infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy is an alternative method to provide cheap and high-density soil data. However, there are still some uncertainties on its capacity to produce reliable predictions for areas characterized by large soil diversity. Using a large-scale EU soil survey of about 20,000 samples and covering 23 countries, we assessed the performance of reflectance spectroscopy for the prediction of soil organic carbon content. The best calibrations achieved a root mean square error ranging from 4 to 15 g C kg(-1) for mineral soils and a root mean square error of 50 g C kg(-1) for organic soil materials. Model errors are shown to be related to the levels of soil organic carbon and variations in other soil properties such as sand and clay content. Although errors are ?5 times larger than the reproducibility error of the laboratory method, reflectance spectroscopy provides unbiased predictions of the soil organic carbon content. Such estimates could be used for assessing the mean soil organic carbon content of large geographical entities or countries. This study is a first step towards providing uniform continental-scale spectroscopic estimations of soil organic carbon, meeting an increasing demand for information on the state of the soil that can be used in biogeochemical models and the monitoring of soil degradation.

Diffuse Reflectance-Based Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy of Opaque Suspensions.

Project description:By augmentation of the collection optics utilized in transmission-based femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), two novel diffuse reflectance-based femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (drFSRS) techniques were developed. These techniques were then used to collect the Raman spectra of opaque systems, those being cyclohexane-intercalated poly(tetrafluoroethylene) microbeads and ethanol in 1% intralipid solutions. The resulting drFSRS data from the cyclohexane:PTFE system show significant distortion of the depolarization ratio of the 803 cm-1 cyclohexane peak, indicating a loss of incident pump:probe polarization in a scattering environment. The drFSRS data from the ethanol in 1% intralipid solution demonstrate less signal strength but equal spectral resolution when compared to transmission-based FSRS of the same sample. The results presented in this Technical Note demonstrate the current capabilities of collecting stimulated Raman spectra of opaque systems using drFSRS.

Rapid screening on aflatoxins' presence in <i>Pistachia vera</i> nuts using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy and chemometrics.

Project description:Aflatoxin contamination in pistachios has been analyzed in this work, using Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) with chemometrics. Forty-nine Greek pistachio samples of different aflatoxin concentrations were classified into aflatoxin and non-aflatoxin groups using the 3035-2821, 1770-1721, 1570-1481 and 1260-1061 cm-1 spectral regions in Kubelka-Munk conversion and first derivative form. A chemometric model was developed using twenty-eight samples as calibration, 11 as validation and 10 as test set. The discrimination analysis separated correctly the 100% of the calibration and the validation set and the 80% of the test set. The proposed chemometric model is simple, rapid, economical and environmentally friendly since it does not require chemical pre-treatment of the samples. It is expected that the present method may be proved useful in food industry and the inspection authorities as a rapid decision-making tool to detect batches that must be rejected and enhance consumers' protection from aflatoxin contaminated pistachios.

Insights into the Sensing Mechanism of a Metal-Oxide Solid Solution via <i>Operando</i> Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy.

Project description:Recently, the influence of Nb addition in the oxide solid solution of Sn and Ti was investigated with regard to the morphological, structural and electrical properties for the production of chemoresistive gas sensors. (Sn,Ti,Nb)xO2-based sensors showed promising features for ethanol monitoring in commercial or industrial settings characterized by frequent variation in relative humidity. Indeed, the three-metal solid solution highlighted a higher response level vs. ethanol than the most widely used SnO2 and a remarkably low effect of relative humidity on the film resistance. Nevertheless, lack of knowledge still persists on the mechanisms of gas reaction occurring at the surface of these nanostructures. In this work, operando Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform spectroscopy was used on SnO2- and on (Sn,Ti,Nb)xO2-based sensors to combine the investigations on the transduction function, i.e., the read-out of the device activity, with the investigations on the receptor function, i.e., compositional characterization of the active sensing element in real time and under operating conditions. The sensors performance was explained by probing the interaction of H2O and ethanol molecules with the material surface sites. This information is fundamental for fine-tuning of material characteristics for any specific gas sensing applications.

Rice bean-adzuki bean multitrait near infrared reflectance spectroscopy prediction model: a rapid mining tool for trait-specific germplasm.

Project description:In the present era of climate change, underutilized crops such as rice beans and adzuki beans are gaining prominence to ensure food security due to their inherent potential to withstand extreme conditions and high nutritional value. These legumes are bestowed with higher nutritional attributes such as protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals than other major legumes of the Vigna family. With the typical nutrient evaluation methods being expensive and time-consuming, non-invasive techniques such as near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with chemometrics have emerged as a better alternative. The present study aims to develop a combined NIRS prediction model for rice bean and adzuki bean flour samples to estimate total starch, protein, fat, sugars, phytate, dietary fiber, anthocyanin, minerals, and RGB value. We chose 20 morphometrically diverse accessions in each crop, of which fifteen were selected as the training set and five for validation of the NIRS prediction model. Each trait required a unique combination of derivatives, gaps, smoothening, and scatter correction techniques. The best-fit models were selected based on high RSQ and RPD values. High RSQ values of >0.9 were achieved for most of the studied parameters, indicating high-accuracy models except for minerals, fat, and phenol, which obtained RSQ <0.6 for the validation set. The generated models would facilitate the rapid nutritional exploitation of underutilized pulses such as adzuki and rice beans, showcasing their considerable potential to be functional foods for health promotion.
