The aim of this study was to demonstrate the value of the level of platinum in lymphocytes, plasma and saliva, in order to predict neutropenia during the same cycle after cisplatin chemotherapy. Plasma and lymphocytes samples were obtained from 14 patients receiving 100 mg/m2 cisplatin in different combination. Saliva samples were obtained from 3 other patients. We found that platinum plasma concentration at the Cmax and 1 hour after the end of the infusion were significantly higher in the grade 4 neutropenia cycles (respectively 2.60 vs 2.05 and 2.55 vs 2.00 mg/l p < 0.05). Platinum DNA-adduct were not detectable by ICPMS. Maximum concentrations in saliva ranged between 0.05 to 0.08 mg/l at the end of the infusion. The ratio of platinum levels in plasma and saliva varied between 2 and 3%. Saliva seems to be useful for therapeutic drug monitoring of cisplatin because it can be obtained by non invasive and patient-friendly-means. However, new studies are required to demonstrate the relationship between these two biological fluids.

Background: Over the past decade, saliva-based liquid biopsies have emerged as promising tools for the early diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of cancer, particularly in high-risk populations. However, challenges persist because of low concentrations and variable modifications of biomarkers linked to tumor development when compared to normal salivary components.
Methods: This study explores the application of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)-based thermal liquid biopsy (TLB) for analyzing saliva and blood plasma samples from head and neck cancer (HNC) patients.

Monitoring of kidney function traditionally relies on plasma creatinine concentrations, necessitating invasive blood draws. Non-invasively obtainable biofluids, such as sweat and saliva, present a patient-friendly alternative with potential for continuous monitoring. This study focusses on developing and validating a novel Liquid Chromatography- tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay as a reference test for measuring low creatinine concentrations in sweat and saliva.

Unlabelled: Serotonin plays a central role in mood regulation and the development of depressive disorders. The serotonin transporter, the primary regulator of serotonin levels, presents genetic variants that affect its functionality.
Aim: To study whether functional bi-allelic 5-HTTLPR or tri-allelic 5-HTTLPR/rs25531 polymorphisms in the serotonin transporter gene are associated with the diagnosis of depression.

Background And Aims: Recently, demands towards identifying various molecules in support of stress detection and potential clinical utilization are dramatically increasing. Moreover, the accuracy with which researchers quantify these informative molecules is now far more improved when compared to the past. As RNA or protein markers are conventionally detected via repeated invasive procedures from blood, it is critical to develop secure technologies to obtain the desired information via less stressful methodologies, such as saliva collection.

Background: Salivary compounds can be used as diagnostic markers for changes in the oral cavity that cause oral problems in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: This meta-analysis searched PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Scopus and Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science until Nov 2023. The observational studies included patients with T2DM and healthy controls aged > 18 yr with no oral health problems or systematic or periodontal diseases.
