Clinical-Scale Production of Nearly Pure (>98.5%) Parahydrogen and Quantification by Benchtop NMR Spectroscopy.
TL;DR: In this article, a parahydrogen generator with a 3/16 in. outside diameter copper spiral tubing filled with iron-oxide catalyst is presented for robust operation at high pressures up to 34 atm.

Cry presence and amplitude do not reflect cortical processing of painful stimuli in newborns with distinct responses to touch or cold
Nathalie L. Maitre,Ann R. Stark,Carrie C McCoy Menser,Olena Chorna,Alexandra F Key,Ken Wilkens,Melissa Moore-Clingenpeel,Don Mitchell Wilkes,Stephen Bruehl +8 more
TL;DR: In newborns with distinct brain responses to light touch, cold and pain, cry presence or amplitude characteristics do not provide adequate behavioural markers of pain signalling in the brain and new bedside assessments of newborn pain may need to be developed using brain-based methodologies as benchmarks in order to provide optimal pain mitigation.

TL;DR: This research presents a novel probabilistic approach to estimating the response of the immune system to laser-spot assisted, 3D image recognition.
A large volume double channel 1H-X RF probe for hyperpolarized magnetic resonance at 0.0475 T.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that low field MR of hyperpolarized contrast agents could be as sensitive as conventional high field detection and outline potential improvements and optimization of the probe design for preclinical in vivo MRI.
Open-Source Automated Parahydrogen Hyperpolarizer for Molecular Imaging Using 13C Metabolic Contrast Agents
Aaron M. Coffey,Roman V. Shchepin,Milton L. Truong,Ken Wilkens,Wellington Pham,Eduard Y. Chekmenev +5 more
TL;DR: The conversion of hyperpolarized 13C-phospholactate to13C-lactate in vivo is used here to demonstrate the feasibility of ultrafast multislice 13C MRI after tail vein injection of hyper polarization in mice.
