Saliva in diagnostics- a useful screening tool

Salivary flow testing is also known as sialometry, which measures the flow rate of saliva. Saliva is mainly produced by the major salivary glands, viz. parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands. Salivary flow testing is usually included in the topodiagnostic methods of testing for facial nerve paresis or paralysis, and is a very sensitive early indicator of nerve damage because the flow is d...

Saliva-Based Biosensors: Noninvasive Monitoring Tool for Clinical Diagnostics

Saliva is increasingly recognised as an attractive diagnostic fluid. The presence of various disease signalling salivary biomarkers that accurately reflect normal and disease states in humans and the sampling benefits compared to blood sampling are some of the reasons for this recognition. This explains the burgeoning research field in assay developments and technological advancements for the d...

Non-Coding RNAs in Saliva: Emerging Biomarkers for Molecular Diagnostics

Saliva is a complex body fluid that comprises secretions from the major and minor salivary glands, which are extensively supplied by blood. Therefore, molecules such as proteins, DNA, RNA, etc., present in plasma could be also present in saliva. Many studies have reported that saliva body fluid can be useful for discriminating several oral diseases, but also systemic diseases including cancer. ...

Flexible (Kapton-based) Microsensor Arrays of High Stability for Cardiovascular Applications

The design, fabrication and performance characteristics of Kapton-based planar mini and semimicro potentiometric sensors with an Ag/AgCI or a quinhydrone-based redox internal reference electrode are described. The ion-selective membranes cast from conventional and various modified PVC matrices and containing different pH-sensitive ionophores are ranked on the basis of their performances in host...
