This book was released on 2008-12-22 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although noninvasive, continuous monitoring of glucose concentration in blood and tissues is one of the most challenging areas in medicine, a wide range of optical techniques has recently been designed to help develop robust noninvasive methods for glucose sensing. For the first time in book form, the Handbook of Optical Sensing of Glucose in Biological Fluids and Tissues analyzes trends in noninvasive optical glucose sensing and discusses its impact on tissue optical properties. This handbook presents methods that improve the accuracy in glucose prediction based on infrared absorption spectroscopy, recent studies on the influence of acute hyperglycemia on cerebral blood flow, and the correlation between diabetes and the thermo-optical response of human skin. It examines skin glucose monitoring by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), fluorescence-based glucose biosensors, and a photonic crystal contact lens sensor. The contributors also explore problems of polarimetric glucose sensing in transparent and turbid tissues as well as offer a high-resolution optical technique for noninvasive, continuous, and accurate blood glucose monitoring and glucose diffusion measurement. Written by world-renowned experts in biomedical optics and biophotonics, this book gives a complete, state-of-the-art treatise on the design and applications of noninvasive optical methods and instruments for glucose sensing.

Download or read book Rapid and Nondestructive Detection Techniques for Agri Product Quality written by Te Ma and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agri-product such as grains, fruits and vegetables play a very important role in people's daily life. The agri-product quality directly affects human life and health. Agri-product quality refers to the quality characteristics acceptable to consumers, which mainly includes external factors such as size, shape, color, defect and texture, and internal factors such as physical properties, chemical composition and tissue diseases. Generally speaking, variety, climate, soil, cultivation techniques, diseases and pests are all factors that affect the agri-product quality. Traditional methods for agri-product quality evaluation are time-consuming, complex, and expensive. With the continuous development of modern science and technology, rapid and nondestructive detection technologies are applied to evaluate the quality of agri-product. These technologies could obtain the optical, acoustics and electrical properties of a specific substance and then reveal the appearance and internal quality of the agri-product. Furthermore, the trend today is that consumers have become more exigent for information about the products they purchase, which makes the nondestructive detection technology has more important application value in the field of agri-product quality evaluation.
