Wearable laser Doppler flowmetry for non-invasive assessment of diabetic foot microcirculation: methodological considerations and clinical implications. JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL OPTICS 2024; 29:065001. [PMID: 38737791 PMCID: PMC11088439 DOI: 10.1117/1.jbo.29.6.065001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Significance Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global health concern with significant implications for vascular health. The current evaluation methods cannot achieve effective, portable, and quantitative evaluation of foot microcirculation. Aim We aim to use a wearable device laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) to evaluate the foot microcirculation of T2DM patients at rest. Approach Eleven T2DM patients and twelve healthy subjects participated in this study. The wearable LDF was used to measure the blood flows (BFs) for regions of the first metatarsal head (M1), fifth metatarsal head (M5), heel, and dorsal foot. Typical wavelet analysis was used to decompose the five individual control mechanisms: endothelial, neurogenic, myogenic, respiratory, and heart components. The mean BF and sample entropy (SE) were calculated, and the differences between diabetic patients and healthy adults and among the four regions were compared. Results Diabetic patients showed significantly reduced mean BF in the neurogenic (p = 0.044 ) and heart (p = 0.001 ) components at the M1 and M5 regions (p = 0.025 ) compared with healthy adults. Diabetic patients had significantly lower SE in the neurogenic (p = 0.049 ) and myogenic (p = 0.032 ) components at the M1 region, as well as in the endothelial (p < 0.001 ) component at the M5 region and in the myogenic component at the dorsal foot (p = 0.007 ), compared with healthy adults. The SE in the myogenic component at the dorsal foot was lower than at the M5 region (p = 0.050 ) and heel area (p = 0.041 ). Similarly, the SE in the heart component at the dorsal foot was lower than at the M5 region (p = 0.017 ) and heel area (p = 0.028 ) in diabetic patients. Conclusions This study indicated the potential of using the novel wearable LDF device for tracking vascular complications and implementing targeted interventions in T2DM patients.

Abstract
This article presents clinical results of wireless portable dynamic light scattering sensors that implement laser Doppler flowmetry signal processing. It has been verified that the technology can detect microvascular changes associated with diabetes and ageing in volunteers. Studies were conducted primarily on wrist skin. Wavelet continuous spectrum calculation was used to analyse the obtained time series of blood perfusion recordings with respect to the main physiological frequency ranges of vasomotions. In patients with type 2 diabetes, the area under the continuous wavelet spectrum in the endothelial, neurogenic, myogenic, and cardio frequency ranges showed significant diagnostic value for the identification of microvascular changes. Aside from spectral analysis, autocorrelation parameters were also calculated for microcirculatory blood flow oscillations. The groups of elderly volunteers and patients with type 2 diabetes, in comparison with the control group of younger healthy volunteers, showed a statistically significant decrease of the normalised autocorrelation function in time scales up to 10 s. A set of identified parameters was used to test machine learning algorithms to classify the studied groups of young controls, elderly controls, and diabetic patients. Our conclusion describes and discusses the classification metrics that were found to be most effective.

Abstract
The indices of asymmetry of microcirculation in the skin of the temporal areas of the head in young male and female subjects were studied. In 20 healthy volunteers (10 men and 10 women, age 18-19 years), synchronous measurements of the microcirculation of the skin of the symmetrical temporal areas of the head were carried out by laser Doppler flowmetry. The coefficients of asymmetry of regression relationships between perfusion changes in each side and initial perfusion values in both the same and opposite sides, the distribution function of perfusion asymmetry coefficients, and variability of perfusion in the studied areas were analyzed. The sex differences of the measured characteristics of asymmetry were revealed. In men, the distribution functions of perfusion asymmetry are pointed, with positive excesses, and in women they were flat, with negative excesses. In female subjects, the contribution of the right microcirculatory bed to the right-left hemodynamic balance was higher. These findings support the hypothesis on greater plasticity of the female brain in comparison with the male brain.

Abstract
Neurocritical care focuses on monitoring cerebral blood flow (CBF) to prevent secondary brain injuries before damage becomes irreversible. Thus, there is a critical unmet need for continuous neuromonitoring methods to quantify CBF within the vulnerable cortex continuously and non-invasively. Animal models and imaging biomarkers can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms and kinetics of head injury, as well as insights for potential treatment strategies. For this purpose, we implemented an optical technique for continuous monitoring of blood flow changes after a closed head injury in a mouse model, which is based on laser speckle contrast imaging and a fiber camera-based approach. Our results indicate a significant decrease (~10%, p-value < 0.05) in blood flow within 30 min of a closed head injury. Furthermore, the low-frequency oscillation analysis also indicated much lower power in the trauma group compared to the control group. Overall, blood flow has the potential to be a biomarker for head injuries in the early phase of a trauma, and the system is useful for continuous monitoring with the potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
The primary aim of the study was to assess cerebral circulation in healthy young subjects during an ultra-short (45 min) session of ground-based microgravity modeled by "dry" immersion (DI), with the help of a multifunctional Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF) analyzer. In addition, we tested a hypothesis that cerebral temperature would grow during a DI session. The supraorbital area of the forehead and forearm area were tested before, within, and after a DI session. Average perfusion, five oscillation ranges of the LDF spectrum, and brain temperature were assessed. Within a DI session, in the supraorbital area most of LDF parameters remained unchanged except for a 30% increase in respiratory associated (venular) rhythm. The temperature of the supraorbital area increased by up to 38.5 °C within the DI session. In the forearm area, the average value of perfusion and its nutritive component increased, presumably due to thermoregulation. In conclusion, the results suggest that a 45 min DI session does not exert a substantial effect on cerebral blood perfusion and systemic hemodynamics in young healthy subjects. Moderate signs of venous stasis were observed, and brain temperature increased during a DI session. These findings must be thoroughly validated in future studies because elevated brain temperature during a DI session can contribute to some reactions to DI.

Abstract
Functional neuroimaging, which measures hemodynamic responses to brain activity, has great potential for monitoring recovery in stroke patients and guiding rehabilitation during recovery. However, hemodynamic responses after stroke are almost always altered relative to responses in healthy subjects and it is still unclear if these alterations reflect the underlying brain physiology or if the alterations are purely due to vascular injury. In other words, we do not know the effect of stroke on neurovascular coupling and are therefore limited in our ability to use functional neuroimaging to accurately interpret stroke pathophysiology. To address this challenge, we simultaneously captured neural activity, through fluorescence calcium imaging, and hemodynamics, through intrinsic optical signal imaging, during longitudinal stroke recovery. Our data suggest that neurovascular coupling was preserved in the chronic phase of recovery (2 weeks and 4 weeks post-stoke) and resembled pre-stroke neurovascular coupling. This indicates that functional neuroimaging faithfully represents the underlying neural activity in chronic stroke. Further, neurovascular coupling in the sub-acute phase of stroke recovery was predictive of long-term behavioral outcomes. Stroke also resulted in increases in global brain oscillations, which showed distinct patterns between neural activity and hemodynamics. Increased neural excitability in the contralesional hemisphere was associated with increased contralesional intrahemispheric connectivity. Additionally, sub-acute increases in hemodynamic oscillations were associated with improved sensorimotor outcomes. Collectively, these results support the use of hemodynamic measures of brain activity post-stroke for predicting functional and behavioral outcomes.

Structural and functional state of various parts of skin microcirculation at an early stage of hypertension in working-age men. Microvasc Res 2023; 145:104440.

Abstract
STUDY PURPOSE To conduct a cross-sectional study on the structural and functional characteristics of various parts of skin microcirculation in working-age men with newly diagnosed hypertension (HTN). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 118 male participants (ages 30 to 60) who were not regularly taking any medicine, had no medical complaints, and subjectively considered themselves healthy at the time of study. All participants underwent a cross-sectional comprehensive medical examination. The following tests were performed: complete blood count, biochemical blood tests, video capillaroscopy (VCS), laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) and photoplethysmography (PPG) on the left hand fingers, determination of flow-mediated vasodilation of the brachial artery, echocardiography, ultrasound of extracranial and femoral arteries, 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). According to ABPM data, the participants were divided into two equal groups called a control group(CG) and a hypertension group(HG). There were 59 participants with normal BP in CG, and 59 participants with newly diagnosed HTN in HG. RESULTS Nailfold VCS of the ring finger revealed no significant differences between the groups at the level of exchange microvessels. According to LDF data, there was no decrease in tissue perfusion and signs of an increase in the activity of endothelial, neurogenic, and myogenic regulation of the tone of precapillary arterioles in the HTN group. According to PPG of the index finger, in contrast to CG, HTN participants had significantly higher values of the following parameters: normalized augmentation index (Alp75) - 3.8 % and - 5.25 % (p < 0.005), stiffness index (SI) - 7.6 m/s and 7.35 m/s (p < 0.05), reflection index (RI) - 36.5 % and 28.4 % (p < 0.005), respectively. DISCUSSION Working-age men in the early stage of HTN have neither capillary rarefaction nor an increase in the tone of skin precapillary arterioles. The largest contribution to peripheral vascular resistance in the onset of HTN is most likely made by large muscular arterioles, in which the neurogenic regulation of vascular tone predominates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: To evaluate the alterations in microcirculation of stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) patients with concomitant COVID-19. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: The cross-sectional study analyzed the data from 80 patients, being subdivided as follows: group 1 (G1) - SCAD without COVID-19 (n=30); group 2 (G2) - SCAD with concomitant COVID-19 (n=25); group 3 (G3) - COVID-19 without SCAD (n=25). The control group included 30 relatively healthy volunteers. The state of microcirculation was assessed by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) and laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). RESULTS Results: NVC data from G2 revealed the sings of capillary bed remodeling, along with the most pronounced decrease in capillary (arteriolar part of the loop) blood flow velocity (vs. G1 and G3). LDF data from G2 were evident for the alterations in both endothelium-dependent and -independent mechanisms of microvascular flow regulation. The 72 % of G2 constituted the cases of microcirculatory hemodynamic «congestion-stasis» (MHCS) type (characterized by the decreased laser Doppler perfusion index and reduced endothelium-dependent microvascular reactivity [MVR]), and the cases of mixed type with reduced MVR. The pooled hyporeactive profile (of both MHCS type and a mixed type with reduced MVR) demonstrated the higher frequency of G2 patients (40 %), as against 11 % in the pooled alternative hemodynamic group (p<0,001) (included 80 % of cases with preserved MVR). CONCLUSION Conclusions: G2 profile demonstrated the predomination of patients, possessing a MHCS type or a mixed type with reduced MVR. The pooled microcirculatory hyporeactive profile was presented with G2 cases to a greater extent, than in the pooled profile with predominantly preserved MVR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate structural and functional features of cutaneous microvasculature in men of working age with newly diagnosed arterial hypertension (AH). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 161 apparently healthy men from 30 to 60 years, who underwent a comprehensive examination of cardiovascular system "from the heart to the capillaries". Control group (CG) included 60 normotensive men. AH group included 101 men with elevated BP. RESULTS There is no rarefaction of the capillary bed and latent fluid retention in the interstitial space in the skin in men with AH. No data were obtained for increased endothelial, neurogenic and myogenic tone of resistive cutaneous precapillary arterioles in AH group, but a decrease in the perfusion efficiency of the endothelial and myogenic mechanisms of tissue perfusion modulation was noted. CONCLUSION Obtained results allow making the assumption that metabolic disorders at the level of capillaries that are of a systemic nature prevail in men with the onset of AH.

Abstract
In this study we demonstrate what kind of relative alterations can be expected in average perfusion and blood flow oscillations during postural changes being measured in the skin of limbs and on the brow of the forehead by wearable laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) sensors. The aims of the study were to evaluate the dynamics of cutaneous blood perfusion and the regulatory mechanisms of blood microcirculation in the areas of interest, and evaluate the possible significance of those effects for the diagnostics based on blood perfusion monitoring. The study involved 10 conditionally healthy volunteers (44 ± 12 years). Wearable laser Doppler flowmetry monitors were fixed at six points on the body: two devices were fixed on the forehead, on the brow; two were on the distal thirds of the right and left forearms; and two were on the distal thirds of the right and left lower legs. The protocol was used to record three body positions on the tilt table for orthostatic test for each volunteer in the following sequence: (a) supine body position; (b) upright body position (+75°); (c) tilted with the feet elevated above the head and the inclination of body axis of 15° (−15°, Trendelenburg position). Skin blood perfusion was recorded for 10 min in each body position, followed by the amplitude–frequency analysis of the registered signals using wavelet decomposition. The measurements were supplemented with the blood pressure and heart rate for every body position analysed. The results identified a statistically significant transformation in microcirculation parameters of the average level of skin blood perfusion and oscillations of amplitudes of neurogenic, myogenic and cardiac sensors caused by the postural changes. In paper, we present the analysis of microcirculation in the skin of the forehead, which for the first time was carried out in various positions of the body. The area is supplied by the internal carotid artery system and can be of particular interest for evaluation of the sufficiency of blood supply for the brain.

Saha M, Dremin V, Rafailov I, Dunaev A, Sokolovski S, Rafailov E. Wearable Laser Doppler Flowmetry Sensor: A Feasibility Study with Smoker and Non-Smoker Volunteers. BIOSENSORS-BASEL 2020; 10:bios10120201. [PMID: 33297337 PMCID: PMC7762214 DOI: 10.3390/bios10120201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2020] [Revised: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Novel, non-invasive wearable laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) devices measure real-time blood circulation of the left middle fingertip and the topside of the wrist of the left hand. The LDF signals are simultaneously recorded for fingertip and wrist. The amplitude of blood flow signals and wavelet analysis of the signal are used for the analysis of blood perfusion parameters. The aim of this pilot study is to validate the accuracy of blood circulation measurements recorded by one such non-invasive wearable LDF device for healthy young non-smokers and smokers. This study reveals a higher level of blood perfusion in the non-smoker group compared to the smoker group and vice-versa for the variation of pulse frequency. This result can be useful to assess the sensitivity of the wearable LDF sensor in determining the effect of nicotine for smokers as compared to non-smokers and also the blood microcirculation in smokers with different pathologies.

Abstract
The introduction of optical non-invasive diagnostic methods into clinical practice can substantially advance in the detection of early microcirculatory disorders in patients with different diseases. This paper is devoted to the development and application of the optical non-invasive diagnostic approach for the detection and evaluation of the severity of microcirculatory and metabolic disorders in rheumatic diseases and diabetes mellitus. The proposed methods include the joint use of laser Doppler flowmetry, absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with functional tests. This technique showed the high diagnostic importance for the detection of disturbances in peripheral microhaemodynamics. These methods have been successfully tested as additional diagnostic techniques in the field of rheumatology and endocrinology. The sensitivity and specificity of the proposed diagnostic procedures have been evaluated.

Correlation-and-Spectral Analysis of Time Series for Microcirculatory Parameters in Vessels of Symmetrical Organs. Bull Exp Biol Med 2019; 166:301-305. [PMID: 30627914 DOI: 10.1007/s10517-019-04337-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2018] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
The correlation relationships between microcirculatory parameters were studied in vessels of symmetrical organs in humans. Parameters of microcirculation in healthy volunteers were measured by the method of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). LDF-signal transducers were placed symmetrically on the lower parts of the right and left shoulders (3 cm above the elbow bend). Correlations between various components of the amplitude-frequency spectrum for blood flow fluctuations (myogenic, neurogenic, respiratory, and cardiac) were evaluated on symmetrical sides. A significant correlation was found for the mean value of vascular perfusion on the right side with the neurogenic, myogenic, respiratory, and cardiac components on the same side. However, the mean value of vascular perfusion on the light side was interrelated only with the cardiac component. A positive correlation was revealed between the neurogenic and myogenic components on the left side. However, the neurogenic component on the right side was positively related to the myogenic component on the opposite side. Asymmetry of correlation relationships was also observed for the respiratory and cardiac components of study spectrum. Our results illustrate the specific regulation of microcirculatory blood flow in paired organs, which is associated with the existence of functional asymmetry. The physiological mechanisms for this asymmetry require further experimental and clinical studies.

Geometries of vasculature bifurcation can affect the level of trophic damage during formation of a brain ischemic lesion. Biochem Soc Trans 2017; 45:1097-1103. [PMID: 28900016 DOI: 10.1042/bst20160418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2017] [Revised: 07/15/2017] [Accepted: 08/08/2017] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Ischemic lesion is a common cause of various diseases in humans. Brain tissue is especially sensitive to this type of damage. A common reason for the appearance of an ischemic area is a stop in blood flow in some branch of the vasculature system. Then, a decreasing concentration gradient results in a low mean level of oxygen in surrounding tissues. After that, the biochemical ischemic cascade spreads. In this review, we examine these well-known events from a new angle. It is stressed that there is essential evidence to predict the formation of an ischemic micro-area at the base of vascular bifurcation geometries. Potential applications to improve neuroprotection are also discussed.
