The burden of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) has risen, now representing the most common HPV-related malignancy. For years, researchers have explored the utility of measuring HPV-related markers from mouth, throat, and blood samples, often with the aim of gathering more information about an existing HPV-related tumor in a given patient. We review the widely varying methods for collecting and testing saliva and blood samples and offer guidance for standardizing these practices. We then review an array of clinical contexts in which non-invasive testing holds the most promise for potentially addressing unmet needs. In particular, such testing could help clinicians and researchers monitor the effects of vaccination and treatment. Meanwhile, due to the currently incomplete understanding of how carrying HPV relates to infection and subsequent oncogenesis, non-invasive testing methods may not be suitable for the screening setting at this time.

Dentistry is a specialized medical field involving treatment of oro-facial diseases and also in the diagnosis of systemic diseases through oral manifestations. Advanced imaging and sensing tools are emerging for the diagnosis and monitoring of general health, in-particular the non-invasive testing methods are becoming popular. Saliva and gingival crevicular fluid are evolving as potential alternative diagnostic biofluids. Hence, oral biosensors are emerging for applications like detecting changes in the oral microbiome, monitoring caries, periodontal disease, levels of biomolecules, loading forces during orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movement etc. This review discloses the current literature in the applications of oral sensors in oral and systemic diagnostics, monitoring and therapy.

The paper deals with the question ‘What can industrial users of radiological and ultrasonic non-destructive testing methods learn from medical users of non-invasive diagnostic methods and vice versa?’ and similarly, 'What can designers of equipment for the two types of users learn from each other?’ It compares the requirements of each of the two disciplines: in medicine, as complementary to clinical methods; in industry, as a maintenance aid and as a surveillance method to assist design. The basis of the comparison is the purpose of the examination, the significance of the cost factor and the differing definitions of quality and safety. The paper also deals with the problem of cooperation and of ‘interfaces' between the various teams, a problem aggravated by different educational and training backgrounds of the various interdependent teams. The above comparison is set into a background of the evolution of the methods, and conclusions are attempted for the future.

Non-Destructive Inspection of Anti-Corrosion Protective Coatings Using Optical Coherent Tomography Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is one of the most rapidly advancing techniques. This method is capable of non-contact and non-destructive investigation of the inner structure of a broad range of materials. Compared with other methods which belong to the NDE/NDT group (Non-Destructive Evaluation/Non-Destructive Testing methods), OCT is capable of a broad range of scattering material structure visualization. Such a non-invasive and versatile method is very demanded by the industry. The authors applied the OCT method to examine the corrosion process in metal samples coated by polymer films. The main aim of the research was the evaluation of the anti-corrosion protective coatings using the OCT method. The tested samples were exposed to a harsh environment. The OCT measurements have been taken at different stages of the samples degradation. The research and tests results have been presented, as well as a brief discussion has been carried out.

Reliable Testing

The COVID19 pandemic has illustrated the need for the development of fast and reliable testing methods for novel, zoonotic, viral diseases in both humans and animals. Pathologies lead to detectable changes in the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) profile of animals, which can be monitored, thus allowing the development of a rapid VOC-based test. In the current study, we successfully trained honeybees (Apis mellifera) to identify SARSCoV2 infected minks (Neovison vison) thanks to Pavlovian conditioning protocols. The bees can be quickly conditioned to respond specifically to infected mink odours and could therefore be part of a wider SARSCoV2 diagnostic system. We tested two different training protocols to evaluate their performance in terms of learning rate, accuracy and memory retention. We designed a non-invasive rapid test in which multiple bees are tested in parallel on the same samples. This provided reliable results regarding a subjects health status. Using the data from the training experiments, we simulated a diagnostic evaluation trial to predict the potential efficacy of our diagnostic test, which yielded a diagnostic sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 86%. We suggest that a honeybee-based diagnostics can offer a reliable and rapid test that provides a readily available, low-input addition to the currently available testing methods. A honeybee based diagnostic test might be particularly relevant for remote and developing communities that lack the resources and infrastructure required for mainstream testing methods.
