Detection of lung cancer and stages via breath analysis using a self-made electronic nose device
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the exhaled breath VOC analysis method may be developed as a new diagnostic tool for lung cancer detection. The advantages of e-nose based diagnostics, such as an easy and painless method of sampling, and low-cost procedures, will make it an excellent diagnostic method in the future.PMID:38369930 | DOI:10.1080/14737159.2024.2316755 (Source: Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics)

The diagnosis of central nervous system infections in resource-limited settings and the use of novel and molecular diagnostic platforms to improve diagnosis
Expert Rev Mol Diagn. 2024 Feb 19:1-12. doi: 10.1080/14737159.2024.2317414. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Central nervous system infections (CNSI) disproportionately affect individuals in low-resource settings where diagnosis is challenging; large proportions of patients never receive a confirmed microbiological diagnosis resulting in inadequate management and high mortality. The epidemiology of CNSI varies globally and conventional diagnostics deployed in resource-limited settings have significant limitations, with an urgent need for improved diagnostic strategies.AREAS COVERED: This review describes molecul...
