    Abstract This review gives a summary of the development of a method to measure lung surfactant on gastric aspirate at birth in premature infants with the purpose to threat respiratory distress syndrome early with targeted surfactant. Machine learning was used to create the algorithm, and a point-of-care spectrometer was constructed for use in the delivery room. The sensitivity was 91% and specificity 79% in a clinical trial. The same method was used to measure surfactant in tracheal fluid in patients with COVID-19 since lung surfactant may be diminished in these patients.

    Abstract The primary treatment of the common malignancy squamous cell carcinoma is surgical removal. In this process, sufficient tissue removal is balanced against unnecessary mutilation. We recently presented a remote photoplethysmography algorithm, which revealed significant differences between processed video recordings of cancer biopsy areas and surrounding tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate whether spatial analyses of photoplethysmography data correlate with post-excision pathological analyses and thus have potential to assist in tumour delineation. Based on high speed video recordings of 11 patients with squamous cell carcinoma, we examined different parameters derived from temporal remote photoplethysmography variations. Signal characteristics values in sites matching histological sections were compared with pathological measures. Values were ranked and statistically tested with a Kendall correlation analysis. A moderate, negative correlation was found between signal oscillations and the width and transversal area of squamous cell carcinoma in the frequencies below 1 Hz and specifically from 0.02 to 0.15 Hz. We have presented a correlation between frequency content and prevalence of cancer based on regular video recordings of squamous cell carcinoma. We believe this is supported by published findings on malignant melanoma. Our findings indicate that photoplethysmography can be used to distinguish SCC from healthy skin.

    Abstract A video processing algorithm designed to identify cancer suspicious skin areas is presented here. It is based on video recordings of squamous cell carcinoma in the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma is a common malignancy, normally treated by surgical removal. The surgeon should always balance sufficient tissue removal against unnecessary mutilation, and therefore methods for distinction of cancer boundaries are wanted. Squamous cell carcinoma has angiogenesis and increased blood supply. Remote photoplethysmography is an evolving technique for analysis of signal variations in video recordings in order to extract vital signs such as pulsation. We hypothesize that the remote photoplethysmography signal inside the area of a squamous cell carcinoma is significantly different from the surrounding healthy skin. Based on high speed video recordings of 13 patients with squamous cell carcinoma, we have examined temporal signal differences in cancer areas versus healthy skin areas. A significant difference in temporal signal changes between cancer areas and healthy areas was found. Our video processing algorithm showed promising results encouraging further investigation to clarify how detailed distinctions can be made.

    Abstract Objective tinnitus is a known but rare otologic symptom. This is a case report about a six-year-old boy, who was referred to a hearing clinic for further investigation of an audible clicking sound. He experienced clicking sounds, and his parents were able to hear the sounds when listening nearby. This objective tinnitus is caused by myoclonus of either the m. tensor tympani or the m. stapedius. We discuss methods to evaluate objective tinnitus including the clinical use of a stethoscope and also the possibility of using impedance measuring in patients with objective tinnitus.

    Abstract Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a frequent and devastating but generally reversible neuropsychiatric complication secondary to chronic and acute liver failure. During HE, brain energy metabolism is markedly reduced and it remains unclear whether this is due to external or internal energy supply limitations, or secondary to depressed neuronal cellular functions - and if so, which mechanisms that are in play. The extent of deteriorated cerebral function correlates to blood ammonia levels but the metabolic link to ammonia is not clear. Early studies suggested that high levels of ammonia inhibited key tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes thus limiting mitochondrial energy production and oxygen consumption; however, later studies by us and others showed that this is not the case in vivo. Here, based on a series of translational studies from our group, we advocate the view that the low cerebral energy metabolism of HE is likely to be caused by neuronal metabolic depression due to an elevated GABAergic tone rather than by restricted energy availability. The increased GABAergic tone seems to be secondary to synthesis of large amounts of glutamine in astrocytes for detoxification of ammonia with the glutamine acting as a precursor for elevated neuronal synthesis of vesicular GABA.

    Abstract Objective: Patients on dialysis treatment have poor functional vitamin K status, and this may increase the risk of vascular calcification. Vitamin K supplementation may therefore be relevant in patients on dialysis, but the procoagulant effects have not been studied. We evaluated effects of menaquinone-7 (MK-7) supplementation on biomarkers of coagulation in patients on dialysis.
    Methods: Double-blinded, placebo-controlled study in 123 patients on dialysis randomized to 52 weeks of vitamin K (MK-7, 360 μg/daily, n = 61) or placebo (n = 62). Measurements at baseline and after 52 weeks of intervention included thrombin generation (endogenous thrombin potential, peak thrombin concentration, time to peak, and lag time); clot activities of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (F) II, VII, IX, and X; prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1+2); and proteins induced by vitamin K absence II (PIVKA-II). Between-group differences (vitamin K vs. placebo) at 52 weeks were determined with an analysis of covariance. Within-group changes in vitamin K and placebo groups were analyzed with a paired t-test. Vascular adverse events and serious adverse events were registered based on hospital records, laboratory data, and participant interviews and compared between groups using Fisher's exact test or Pearson's Chi-Squared test.
    Results: A between-group difference at 52 weeks was observed for PIVKA-II (P < .001). PIVKA-II decreased significantly from baseline to 52 weeks in the vitamin K group, but not in the placebo group. We observed no between-group differences or within-group changes for biomarkers of coagulation, except for FVII clot activity which was reduced in the placebo group (P = .04), and no between-group differences in adverse events and serious adverse events.
    Conclusion: One year of vitamin K supplementation in patients on dialysis has no detectable effects on biomarkers of coagulation activation, clot activities of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors, and vascular events or death, indicating no procoagulant effects of this treatment.
