Objective: The objective of the study was to characterize the variations in normal cervical spectra because of menopausal status and location within the menstrual cycle. Using the information obtained, the accuracy of Raman spectroscopy to diagnose low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LGSIL) will be improved.
Study Design: A total of 133 patients undergoing either colposcopy or Papanicolaou smear were recruited from either Vanderbilt University or Tri-State Women's Health. Raman spectra were collected from both normal and diseased areas. The data were processed and analyzed using a multiclass discrimination and classification algorithm to determine whether the spectra were correctly classified.
Results: Stratifying the data by menopausal state resulted in correctly classifying LGSIL 97% of the time (from 74%).
Conclusion: This study brings Raman spectroscopy one step closer to clinical use by improving the sensitivity to differentiate LGSIL from normal.

SnO thin films were deposited on Si substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique, and the effects of different sputtering power (60-90 W) on the structural, surface morphological, and electrical properties of the film were investigated with XRD, Raman, AFM, SEM, and fore point probe. The deposited SnO film at lower RF was amorphous, while well-defined intense XRD signals at higher RF power indicated significant improvement in crystalline nature. E and A vibrating modes related to SnO were clearly observed in the Raman spectra.

Polymicrobial biofilm infections, especially associated with medical devices such as peripheral venous catheters, are challenging in clinical settings for treatment and management. In this study, we examined the mixed biofilm formed by Candida glabrata and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which were co-isolated from the same peripheral venous catheter. Our results revealed that C.

Hematite (α-FeO) nanoparticles have been synthesized from waste source of iron which contains a prominent amount of iron (93.2 %) and investigated the effect of low temperature calcination. The two-step synthesis method involved preparing ferrous sulfate through acid leaching process followed by oxidation and calcination at temperatures ranging from 200 to 400 °C to produce the desired α-FeO in nano form.

Gold nanobowls (AuNBs) synthesized by the template-free method were deposited on graphene oxide (GO) to obtain an ultrasensitive surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform for folic acid (FA) detection. GO was conditioned in aqueous solutions at various pH values to optimize the adsorption of the FA molecule and the intensity of the SERS signal. It was found that the conditioning procedure influences the orientation of FA on the SERS supports and the quality of the spectra in result.

Bladder, kidney, and prostate cancers are prevalent urinary cancers, and developing efficient detection methods is of significance for the early diagnosis of them. However, noninvasive and sensitive detection of urinary cancers still challenges traditional techniques. In this study, we developed a SERS-based method to analyze serum samples from patients with urinary cancers.
