The Role of Lasers in Diagnostic Tests
Laser-based methods are widely used as part of diagnostic testing to provide non-invasive alternatives to biopsies whilst still recovering molecular-level information that can be used for an accurate diagnosis.

Researchers stress the importance of vaccination for pregnant women to avoid catastrophic outcomes of childbirth.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-utero transmission of SARS-CoV-2 remains a rarity and only very few cases have been proven across the world. Here we depict the clinical, laboratory and radiologic findings of preterm triplets born at 28 6/7 weeks to a mother who contracted COVID-19 just one week before delivery. The triplets showed SARS-CoV-2 positivity right after birth, developed significant leukopenia and early-onset pulmonary interstitial emphysema. The most severely affected triplet I required ten days of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation due to failure of conventiona...
Spectroscopic methods, including Raman spectroscopy, are ideal for the non-invasive imaging of tumors. Spatially resolved versions of the techniques can be used to profile the full tumor site and the spectral information provided at each imaging point can then be decomposed to provide chemical information on the local region.
Osimertinib will be made available via the Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) to patients in England with completely resected early-stage IB-IIIA EGFR mutation-positive (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1
