Scabies: Advances in Noninvasive Diagnosis
Scabies is a common, highly contagious skin parasitosis caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Early identification and prompt treatment of infested subjects is essential, as missed diagnosis may result in outbreaks, considerable morbidity, and significantly increased economic burden. The standard diagnostic technique consists of mites' identification by microscopic examination of scales obt...
متن کاملDermoscopy in the Diagnosis of Scabies
Dermoscopy is a handy tool originally used for evaluating pigmented lesions and melanoma. However, over the years, numerous indications have cropped up including its role in diagnosing infestations (entomodermoscopy).2 Dermoscopy combines light source and magnifying lens in such a way that it enables visualization of patterns not visible with clinical inspection alone.2 The evidence available r...
متن کاملAdvances in noninvasive myelin imaging
Myelin is important for the normal development and healthy function of the nervous system. Recent developments in MRI acquisition and tissue modeling aim to provide a better characterization and more specific markers for myelin. This allows for specific monitoring of myelination longitudinally and noninvasively in the healthy brain as well as assessment of treatment and intervention efficacy. H...

متن کاملAdvances in photoacoustic noninvasive glucose testing.
We report here on in vitro and in vivo experiments that are intended to explore the feasibility of photoacoustic spectroscopy as a tool for the noninvasive measurement of blood glucose. The in vivo results from oral glucose tests on eight subjects showed good correlation with clinical measurements but indicated that physiological factors and person-to-person variability are important. In vitro ...
