Raman spectroscopy is a technique that utilises inelastic scattering processes to provide a biochemical fingerprint that has been shown to successfully discriminate oesophageal pathologies. The aim of this study was to ...

Epithelial Misplacement (EM) is a benign phenomenon that occurs within polyps most commonly associated with the sigmoid colon. It is brought about because of the colons convulsive nature and this forces a ...

Despite the importance of calcifications in early detection of breast cancer, and their suggested role in modulating breast cancer cell behaviour, very little detail is known about their chemical composition or how this ...

Calcifications are not only one of the most important early diagnostic markers of breast cancer, but are also increasingly believed to aggravate the proliferation of cancer cells and invasion of surrounding tissue. Moreover, ...

This translational research evaluates a novel, custom-built Raman probe for potential application as an in vivo diagnostic tool in the oesophagus. Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a well established analytical technique which ...

Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a significant challenge for the Intensive Care doctors worldwide. It is both difficult to diagnose accurately and quickly and to treat effectively once the diagnosis has been ...
