Mikrochim Acta 2024; 191:402. [PMID: 38886225 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06463-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
A microscale colorimetric assay was designed and implemented for the simultaneous determination of clinical chemistry tests measuring six parameters, including glucose (GLU), total protein (TP), human serum albumin (HSA), uric acid (UA), total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TGs) in plasma samples. The test kit was fabricated using chromogenic reagents, comprising specific enzymes and binding dyes. Multiple colors that appeared on the reaction well when it was exposed to each analyte were captured by a smartphone and processed by the homemade Check6 application, which was designed as a colorimetric analyzer and simultaneously generated a report that assessed test results against gender-dependent reference ranges. Six blood checkup parameters for four plasma samples were conducted within 12 min on one capture picture. The assay achieved wide working concentration ranges of 10.45-600 mg dL-1 GLU, 1.39-10.0 g dL-1 TP, 1.85-8.0 g dL-1 HSA, 0.86-40.0 mg dL-1 UA, 11.28-600 mg dL-1 TC, and 11.93-400 mg dL-1 TGs. The smartphone-based assay was accurate with recoveries of 93-108% GLU, 93-107% TP, 92-107% HSA, 93-107% UA, 92-107% TC, and 99-113% TGs. The coefficient of variation for intra-assay and inter-assay precision ranged from 3.2-5.2% GLU, 4.6-5.3% TP, 4.3-5.3% HSA, 2.8-6.6% UA, 2.7-6.5% TC, and 1.1-3.9% TGs. This assay demonstrated remarkable accuracy in quantifying the concentration-dependent color intensity of the plasma, even in the presence of other suspected interferences commonly present in serum. The results of the proposed method correlated well with results determined by the microplate spectrophotometer (R2 > 0.95). Measurement of these six clinical chemistry parameters in plasma using a microscale colorimetric test kit coupled with the Check6 smartphone application showed potential for real-time point-of-care analysis, providing cost-effective and rapid assays for health checkup testing.

[PMID: 35726301 PMCID: PMC9206589 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3715150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The healthy growth of college students is related to the future development of the country and the prosperity of the nation. Under fierce social competition, college students are faced with academic pressure and employment pressure, resulting in the failure to improve their physical and mental health and their low self-acceptance level. Faced with such a situation, it is an important subject to solve the problem of the physical and mental health development of contemporary college students. As a sport that integrates sports and art, sports dance is worthy of in-depth discussion on the physical and mental development of college students. To analyze the impact of sports dance on the physical and mental development of contemporary college students, this paper uses an intelligent health monitoring system to monitor the health status of college students before and after physical dance exercise. It analyzes the influence of sports dance on the physical and mental development of college students from the aspects of cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance, flexibility, and happiness. Finally, the results are obtained by conducting experiments with 10 college students. The experimental results show that the psychological well-being of college students who take physical dance exercise increases by 7.8%. Cardiorespiratory endurance and flexibility are both improved accordingly. Physical dance exercise promotes the physical and mental development of contemporary college students.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Smartphones come with an enormous array of functionality and are being more widely utilized with specialized attachments in a range of healthcare applications. A review of key developments and uses, with an assessment of strengths/limitations in various clinical workflows, was completed. AIM Our review studies how smartphone-based imaging (SBI) systems are designed and tested for specialized applications in medicine and healthcare. An evaluation of current research studies is used to provide guidelines for improving the impact of these research advances. APPROACH First, the established and emerging smartphone capabilities that can be leveraged for biomedical imaging are detailed. Then, methods and materials for fabrication of optical, mechanical, and electrical interface components are summarized. Recent systems were categorized into four groups based on their intended application and clinical workflow: ex vivo diagnostic, in vivo diagnostic, monitoring, and treatment guidance. Lastly, strengths and limitations of current SBI systems within these various applications are discussed. RESULTS The native smartphone capabilities for biomedical imaging applications include cameras, touchscreens, networking, computation, 3D sensing, audio, and motion, in addition to commercial wearable peripheral devices. Through user-centered design of custom hardware and software interfaces, these capabilities have the potential to enable portable, easy-to-use, point-of-care biomedical imaging systems. However, due to barriers in programming of custom software and on-board image analysis pipelines, many research prototypes fail to achieve a prospective clinical evaluation as intended. Effective clinical use cases appear to be those in which handheld, noninvasive image guidance is needed and accommodated by the clinical workflow. Handheld systems for in vivo, multispectral, and quantitative fluorescence imaging are a promising development for diagnostic and treatment guidance applications. CONCLUSIONS A holistic assessment of SBI systems must include interpretation of their value for intended clinical settings and how their implementations enable better workflow. A set of six guidelines are proposed to evaluate appropriateness of smartphone utilization in terms of clinical context, completeness, compactness, connectivity, cost, and claims. Ongoing work should prioritize realistic clinical assessments with quantitative and qualitative comparison to non-smartphone systems to clearly demonstrate the value of smartphone-based systems. Improved hardware design to accommodate the rapidly changing smartphone ecosystem, creation of open-source image acquisition and analysis pipelines, and adoption of robust calibration techniques to address phone-to-phone variability are three high priority areas to move SBI research forward.

Skin disorder management in oral anticancer drugs by collaboration of hospital pharmacists and community pharmacists. Support Care Cancer 2020; 29:3577-3583. [PMID: 33161506 PMCID: PMC8163684 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-020-05875-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Background In Japan, the multidisciplinary team approach in cancer chemotherapy has become quite widespread. However, patients treated with oral anticancer drugs in outpatient clinics usually receive short medical examinations from doctors without any intervention of pharmacists. To improve this medical circumstance, we made a skin disorder manual for community pharmacists and evaluated its feasibility. Methods Patients who underwent oral skin toxic chemotherapy from May 1, 2017, to October 31, 2017, were enrolled. The severity of skin toxicities was evaluated based on NCI-CTCAE ver4.0. Skin care and skin disorders were assessed by community pharmacists based on the assessment document arranged by the investigator. Numbers of patients who replied to the assessment, numbers of replies, numbers of assessments and instructions for skin care, and numbers of prescription proposals were evaluated to assess the value of intervention of community pharmacists. Results Sixty-two patients were enrolled in this study. Community pharmacy responded to 55 patients (88.7%), for a total of 335 replies. The data described in the replies were as follows: 317 assessments of skin disorders (94.6%), 307 assessments of skin care (91.6%), 248 instructions for skin care (74%), and 19 prescription proposals (5.7%). Conclusions Community pharmacists have high motivation for prevention and early detection of skin disorders. Although the number of prescription proposals is small, some proposals have contributed to improving side effects. Collaboration of hospital pharmacists and community pharmacists is important for prevention, early detection, and treatment of skin disorders caused by oral anticancer drugs.
