Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the major causative factors for high mortality and
morbidity in developing and developed nations. The biomarker detection plays a crucial role …

Abstract Point-of-care (POC) device development is a growing field that aims to develop low-
cost, rapid, sensitive in-vitro diagnostic testing platforms that are portable, self-contained …

Metal-dielectric micro/nano-composites have surface plasmon resonances in visible and
near-infrared domains. Excitation of coupled metal-dielectric resonances is also important …

Biomarkers play key roles in the diagnosis, risk assessment, treatment and supervision of
cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Optical biosensors and assays are valuable analytical tools …

In this review of the literature on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), we describe
recent developments of this technique in the medical field. SERS has developed rapidly in …

Cardiovascular disease is a major global health issue. In particular, acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) requires urgent attention and early diagnosis. The use of point-of-care …

Human C-reactive protein (CRP), an early clinical indicator of infectious or inflammatory
conditions has been recently identified as a key biomarker associated with the development …

Surface enhanced Raman scattering has recently been proposed as a label free sensing
method for diagnostic applications. Raman scattering is an excellent analysis tool because a …

In this chapter, various techniques are reviewed with focus on the identification of complex
biological agents such as bacteria, viruses, proteins, and enzymes using SERS-active silver …

Anomalous optical response of the metasurface, fabricated from regular silicon resonators is
investigated. The resonators have form of two-dimensional regular bars that are covered by …
