TL;DR: The present study clearly shows that confocal micro-PIV can be effectively integrated with a PDMS microchannel and used to obtain blood velocity profiles along the full depth of the microchannel because of its unique 3-D optical sectioning ability.

TL;DR: In conclusion, imaging of ultraweak photon emission from a brain constitutes a novel method, with the potential to extract pathophysiological information associated with neural metabolism and oxidative dysfunction of the neural cells, and this intensity is associated with the cerebral blood flow and hyperoxia.

TL;DR: The information provided by this study not only complements previous investigations on microhemorheology of both dilute and concentrated suspensions of RBCs, but also shows the influence of both Hct and geometry on the radial dispersion of R BCs.

TL;DR: General trends for the possibility of selective growth of stable semiconductor NPs with particular sizes in aqueous solution are shown and it is seen that capping molecules having relatively compact outermost spatial geometry led to NPsWith excellent long-term stability, whereas those having relatively bulky outer most spatial geometry produced NPswith at most only moderate long- term stability.

TL;DR: The confocal micro-PIV measurements demonstrate that the root mean square (RMS) values increase with the haematocrit implying that it is important to consider the information provided by the instantaneous velocity fields, even at low Re.
