Article Abstract
Excessive discharges of industrial and domestic sewage containing high concentrations of phosphorus are causing damage to the environment, so the detection of these pollutants in bodies of water is extremely critical. External cavity quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL) spectroscopy is a novel measurement technology that surpasses conventional infrared spectroscopy techniques. In this research, we propose a transmission detection system with a long optical path based on an EC-QCL for the detection of phosphate concentration in water bodies. Linear regression models were established based on this detection system, with all determination coefficients higher than 0.98 and a minimum detection limit smaller than 5.1 ppm. Additionally, the high-power spectral density of the EC-QCL permits the construction of a model using the raw radiation intensity data, as opposed to the conventional technique which depends on a reference background. The results show that the overall performance of the model based on the raw radiation intensity is similar to that of the model based on absorbance data. The EC-QCL detection system proposed in this study can ensure accuracy in the detection of pollutants, and the advantage of miniaturization provides a novel idea for the following development of portable phosphate in-situ sewage detection sensors.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most toxic mycotoxins that pose great health threats to humans. Herein, an aptasensor-based fluorescent signal amplification strategy is developed for the detection of AFB1. Initially, the AFB1 aptamers labelled with carboxyfluorescein (FAM) are adsorbed onto graphene oxide (GO), triggering energy transfer.

Cognitive impairment and dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), pose a global health crisis, necessitating non-invasive biomarkers for early detection. This review highlights the retina, an accessible extension of the central nervous system (CNS), as a window to cerebral pathology through structural, functional, and molecular alterations. By synthesizing interdisciplinary evidence, we identify retinal biomarkers as promising tools for early diagnosis and risk stratification.

Introduction: Primary central nervous system vasculitis (primary CNS vasculitis) is a rare inflammatory disorder that affects small-to-medium-sized cerebral vessels, often leading to recurrent strokes. Diagnosis is vague due to non-specific neurological symptoms. Imaging findings, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and exclusion of systemic vasculitis are essential for diagnosis.

Background: Invasive central nervous system (CNS) aspergillosis is rare among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients due to preserved neutrophil function, despite significant CD4+ T-cell depletion. Diagnosis typically requires histopathologic confirmation, but polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing has introduced new challenges due to its high sensitivity but limited specificity.
Case Presentation: We describe a newly diagnosed 43-year-old HIV-positive male with concurrent Hodgkin lymphoma who presented with progressive neurological decline and a ring-enhancing brain lesion.

At present, two competing hyperpolarization (HP) techniques, dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and parahydrogen (para-H) induced polarization (PHIP), can generate sufficiently high liquid state C signal enhancement for in vivo studies. PHIP utilizes the singlet spin state of para-H to create non-equilibrium spin populations. In hydrogenative PHIP, para-H is irreversibly added to unsaturated precursors, typically in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst.
