Rapid, Non-Invasive Method Diagnoses Type 2 Diabetes by Sniffing Urinary Acetone
A research team working on a new non-invasive screening method for Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has used self-developed proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in T2D patients' urine samples. More...22 Mar 2023

Urine Test Accurately Predicts End of Life for Lung Cancer Patients
A new study has found that lung cancer patients can have their risk of mortality accurately predicted within the last four weeks of life by analyzing their urine. This information gives both the patient and their families the chance to prepare for the end of life, while also providing clinicians with more detailed data to inform their care and medication plans.
