Diagnosis of glioma molecular markers by terahertz technologies

This review considers glioma molecular markers in brain tissues and body fluids, shows the pathways of their formation, and describes traditional methods of analysis. The most important optical properties of glioma markers in the terahertz (THz) frequency range are also presented. New metamaterial-based technologies for molecular marker detection at THz frequencies are discussed. A variety of machine learning methods, which allow the marker detection sensitivity and differentiation of healthy and tumor tissues to be improved with the aid of THz tools, are considered. The actual results on the application of THz techniques in the intraoperative diagnosis of brain gliomas are shown. THz technologies’ potential in molecular marker detection and defining the boundaries of the glioma’s tissue is discussed

Study of dry pellets of blood plasma using THz spectroscopy

This work is devoted to the development of a suitable phantom of a biological object for measurements in the THz frequency range and for approbation with various diagnostic methods developed in different THz laboratories. The phantoms were represented as a pellet of human and a laboratory rat blood plasma in the diabetic and the control groups. These objects were analyzed in various laboratories, using THz pulsed spectroscopy and a high-resolution THz spectrometer based on a backward wave oscillator. The components of the dry blood plasma were identified by the detected spectral lines
