Infrared Spectroscopy Life and Biomedical Sciences
This informative and state-of-the art book on Infrared Spectroscopy
in Life sciences designed for researchers, academics as well as for those
working in industry, agriculture and in pharmaceutical companies features 20
chapters of applications of MIRS and NIRS in brain activity and clinical
research. Topics covered includes: Infrared Spectroscopy in Life and Biomedical
Sciences, Use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in the Management of Patients in
Neonatal Intensive Care Units,Effects of Sleep Debt on Cognitive Performance and
Prefrontal Activity in Humans, Applications of Near Infrared Spectroscopy in
Neurorehabilitation, Using NIRS to Investigate Social Relationship in Empathic
Process.
This note
focuses on how spectroscopic techniques can be integrated to determine the
structure of unknown molecules. It starts off with an overview of the
electromagnetic spectrum and basic 1H NMR, moving on to much advanced discussion
about how NMR can be combined with other methods such as IR, UV, and mass
spectrometry for an overall structural analysis. It goes over chemical shifts of
protons, coupling constants, and the use of 2D NMR for obtaining detailed
structural information. Other topics discussed include multinuclear NMR, dynamic
NMR and conformational, as well as chemical exchange rates measurement. This
note is perfect for students and researchers who want to use several
spectroscopic methods in the determination of the structure of a compound.
This note focuses on the
applications of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) in clinical and
non-clinical practice. The book is divided into two parts: MRS inside the
clinic, such as imaging and analyzing metabolic processes in vivo, which will be
presented in the first part of the book, and applications of MRS outside the
clinic in fields including biochemistry, neuroscience, and pharmacology. As the
note discusses both clinical and research applications, it allows for a very
comprehensive look at how MRS can be used to probe biochemical and metabolic
processes. This note would be an excellent resource for students and
professionals in the medical and scientific communities.
