There is an unmet clinical need for a rapid point-of-care tests to identify patients at high-risk of developing acute liver failure following a paracetamol overdose. Here, authors assess a diagnostic test, consisting of a lateral flow immunoassay paired with a handheld Raman reader, in performance evaluation studies.

Scientific Reports - ATR-FTIR and multivariate analysis for differential diagnosis of dengue and leptospirosis: a feasibility study

Discrete frequency infrared (IR) imaging is an exciting experimental technique that has shown promise in various applications in biomedical science. This techni...

We present a novel machine learning (ML)-based scoring technique for determining the similarity between experimental and predicted infrared (IR) spectra for identification purposes. IR spectroscopy is...

Raman spectroscopy is an important diagnostic method that extracts molecular-level information from biological specimens, with distinct potential for disease diagnoses. However, its clinical applic...

This review highlights the development and diverse applications of surface-emitting ring quantum cascade lasers. These lasers, featuring a ring-shaped cavity and a second-order distributed feedback gr...

The combination of a tunable quantum cascade laser (QCL) and plasmonic mid-infrared (MIR) metasurface is a powerful tool enabling high-content microscopy of hydrated cells using the vibrational contra...

Urine provides a noninvasive window into the renal and lymphatic systems, providing molecules (potential markers) from around the body that are detectable using mid-range Fourier transform infrared...

The application of vibrational microspectroscopy to the study of in vitro mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) osteogenic differentiation is a promising approach towards the understanding of the molecular pro...

Current diagnostic approaches for head and neck cancer rely primarily on white-light endoscopy and tissue biopsy, providing only static, episodic assessments that fail to capture dynamic changes in tu...
