A major stride in disease diagnosis is the development of tiny probes containing gold-coated particles which can be implanted into patients to track the development of diseases.

After being inserted into cells, the gold particles could enable diseases to be detected and monitored remotely using light from a laser.
Respiratory Diseases - Diseases of the Human Respiratory System
Respiratory diseases affect any part of the respiratory system. Some of the lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can lead to respiratory failure.

As molecules change shape with disease progression, they give rise to different vibrational frequencies.
Scientists can measure and interpret these vibrations, to understand how the cell is responding to disease.
About Pagets And Jaw Bone Diseases
Osteitis deformans, or Pagets disease of the bone, is the deformity of the bone. Symptoms include severe bone pain, bowing of legs, deafness, facial paralysis and spinal deformities.

The laser technique is highly sensitive, fast and uses a low-power laser. y observing how molecules interact, the probes could be a useful tool to learn more about diseases at a very small scale, say researchers.

About Water Borne Diseases
Waterborne diseases are communicable diseases caused by diseases causing microorganisms in contaminated water. It is more prevalent during floods and in tsunami affected areas.

"By creating a sensor that can safely be implanted into tissue and combining this with a sensitive light-measurement technique, we have developed a useful device that will help diagnose and track disease in patients," said Dr Colin Campbell, who led the research.

About Gout
High levels of uric acid in blood and recurring attacks of joint inflammation are the main symptoms of gout. Lifestyle changes like weight loss, increasing fluid intake and dietary changes can help.
