non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: an update in pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy

1h nmr- based metabolomics approaches as non- invasive tools for diagnosis of endometriosis

background: so far, non-invasive diagnostic approaches such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or blood tests do not have sufficient diagnostic power for endometriosis disease. lack of a non-invasive diagnostic test contributes to the long delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis of endometriosis. objective: the present study focuses on the identification of predictive biomarkers i...

Optical non-invasive approaches to diagnosis of skin diseases.

A number of noninvasive approaches have been developed over the years to provide objective evaluation of the skin both in health and in disease. The advent of computers, as well as of lasers and photonics, has made it possible to develop additional techniques that were impossible a few years ago. These approaches provide the dermatologist with sensitive tools to measure the skin's condition in ...

Current approaches on non-invasive prenatal diagnosis: Prenatal genomics, transcriptomics, personalized fetal diagnosis

Recent developments in molecular genetics improved our knowledge on fetal genome and physiology. Novel scientific innovations in prenatal diagnosis have accelerated in the last decade changing our vision immensely. Data obtained from fetal genomic studies brought new insights to fetal medicine and by the advances in fetal DNA and RNA sequencing technology novel treatment strategies has evolved....

Invasive & non-invasive approaches for prenatal diagnosis of haemoglobinopathies: Experiences from India

The thalassaemias and sickle cell disease are the commonest monogenic disorders in India. There are an estimated 7500 - 12,000 babies with β-thalassaemia major born every year in the country. While the overall prevalence of carriers in different States varies from 1.5 to 4 per cent, recent work has shown considerable variations in frequencies even within States. Thus, micromapping would help to...
