Diagnosis of lung cancer through ... breath odor

The marvelous blend of modern medical technology and how to diagnose the disease through the smell of the patient's medical breath Hippocrates brings new hope to cancer patients.

The research team from Technion Institute of Technology (Israel) has announced that they have successfully built a medical device that can diagnose and diagnose dangerous diseases such as lung cancer and many other diseases only by analyzing the patient's breath.

When you are sick, your breath will show that - (Internet artwork).

According to the research team, it's not fiction. Centuries ago, the legendary Greek doctor Hippocrates used his nose to diagnose it, by sniffing the breath, even the patient's stool and urine.

In the paper published in the ACS Nano magazine, scientists presented the mechanism of the device: when the breath passes through gold nanoparticles inside the device, the chemicals in the breath begin to interact with They create a reaction.

Basically, every chemical in the breath will cause very subtle changes to these particles. Thanks to extremely sophisticated analytics software, doctors will be provided with the disease up to 86% accurate.

That ratio is already very high, because the diagnosis of traditional cancer or multiple sclerosis takes many steps and the patient has to go through a lot of pain, at high cost.

Non-invasive diagnosis is the topic that scientists and scientists around the world care about in the past time. A few days ago, a device for diagnosing non-invasive malaria was also from the Washington University team in St. Louis. Louis (USA) introduced. Previously, another group from this university introduced the technology to diagnose Parkinson's and Grave diseases based on eye movement.
