The protein and lipid electrophoresis patterns of lymph and various body fluids have been examined. Chylous fluids produce a characteristic lipid pattern with a dense deposit at the origin and a lipid trail. The value of centrifuging turbid fluids at high speed before electrophoresis is stressed.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a relatively well-characterized class of noncoding RNA (ncRNA) molecules, involved in the regulation of various cell processes, including transcription, intracellular trafficking, and chromosome remodeling. Their deregulation has been associated with the development and progression of various cancer types, the fact which makes them suitable as biomarkers for ca...

Background: Cytological analyses of effusions or body fluids play an important role in the diagnosis of various lesions. Most importantly it gives a significant contribution in cancer research and staging of various tumors. Most commonly analysed fluids are pleural, ascitic, pericardial and occasionally peritoneal fluid/wash. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study for one year duration fr...

The estimation of body fluids is a useful and common practice in the status assessment of disease mechanisms and treatments. Electrical bioimpedance spectroscopy (EBIS) methods are non-invasive, inexpensive, and efficient alternatives for the estimation of body fluids. However, these methods are indirect, and their robustness and validity are unclear. Regarding the recording of measurements, a ...

Homeostasis of ionized calcium in biofluids is critical for human biological functions and organ systems. Measurement of ionized calcium for clinical applications is not easily accessible due to its strict procedures and dependence on pH. pH balance in body fluids greatly affects metabolic reactions and biological transport systems. Here, we demonstrate a wearable electrochemical device for con...

Determining the body fluids where secreted proteins can be secreted into is important for protein function annotation and disease biomarker discovery. In this study, we developed a network-based method to predict which kind of body fluids human proteins can be secreted into. For a newly constructed benchmark dataset that consists of 529 human-secreted proteins, the prediction accuracy for the m...

HIV can be spread when the body fluids (blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or breast milk) of an infected person enter another’s body. In adults, the virus is most often spread through sexual contact or by sharing needles. Most children who are infected get the virus from their infected mothers during pregnancy, at the time of birth, or through breastfeeding. With the current screening guidelines, s...

In this study we measured spectral features of blood and urine by Raman spectroscopy and autofluorescence analysis. Analysis of specific spectra allows for identification of informative spectral bands proportional to components whose content is associated with body fluids homeostasis changes at various pathological conditions. In general, the developed approach of body fluids analysis provides ...
