Abstract:

Developing non-invasive and accurate diagnostics that are easily manufactured, robust and reusable will provide monitoring of high-risk individuals in any clinical or point-of-care environment, particularly in the developing world. There is currently no rapid, low-cost and generic sensor fabrication technique capable of producing narrow-band, uniform, reversible colorimetric readouts with a high-tuneability range. This thesis aims to present a theoretical and experimental basis for the rapid fabrication, optimisation and testing of holographic sensors for the quantification of pH, organic solv

Abstract:

Els test de tipus 'point-of-care' (POC) presenten un gran potencial per al maneig i el diagnòstic de malalties. Els dispositius POC permeten la realització de proves clíniques prop del pacient, permetent així un diagnòstic ràpid, una ràpida iniciació de tractaments, i en cas necessari, una derivació ràpida a altres centres mèdics. Aquests dispositius tenen a més el potencial de ser més econòmics, més robustos, i més fàcils d'usar que els dispositius mèdics tradicionals. Per aquests motius, els dispositius mèdics de tipus POC es consideren prometedors per als països en vies de desenvolupament,

Abstract:

Although advanced medical technology has been progressively developed, access to quality healthcare services is still a major problem, especially in developing countries. Advanced medical technology requires enormous and expensive resources; therefore, affordable, easy to use and accessible technology could bridge the gap, improving people’s lives, and attracting venture capital investment. Moreover, it is expected that the diagnostic device market would grow exponentially, particularly for paper-based technology. As a result, technology development could promote the local economy by creating

Abstract:

This dissertation explores the different ways to create thin film-based biosensors that are capable of rapid and label-free detection of cortisol, a non-specific biomarker closely linked to stress, within the physiological range of 10pM to 10 uM. Increased cortisol levels have been linked to stress-related diseases, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It also plays a role in the suppression of the immune system as well. Therefore, accurate measurement of cortisol in saliva, serum, plasma, urine, sweat, and hair, is clinically signific

Point-of-care testing (POCT) is defined as medical testing at or near the site of patient care and has become a critical component of the diagnostic industry. POCT has many advantages over tests in centralized laboratories including small reagent volumes, small size, rapid turnaround time, cost-effectiveness, low power consumption and functional integration of multiple devices. Paper-based POCT sensors are a new alternative technology for fabricating simple, low-cost, portable and disposable analytical devices for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract:

Rapid determination of the concentrations of molecules related to diseases can provide timely information for treatment options. However, most biomarker quantitation methods require costly and complex equipment. On the other hand, point-of-care systems have less complex instrumentation needs than laboratory-based equipment, but often provide less information; for example, biomarker presence or absence instead of concentration. A complete analysis setup addressing key limitations of both laboratory-based and portable systems is highly desirable. I developed microfluidic devices with visual insp

Elevated blood ammonia is associated with a number of pathological conditions including liver and kidney dysfunction. Conditions such as these can affect brain function and can be fatal.

Abstract:

Individual genetic variations are suspected to be the most influential factor with respect to drug efficacy, specifically, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in genes responsible for the transportation and metabolism of a particular drug. Correlations have been discovered between the genotype of the various SNPs located within the drug-metabolising enzymes and the overall efficacy of a particular drug. This information could then potentially be used to prescribe personalised medication based on an individual's genetic profile.

Abstract:

Background: Globally, 422 million adults have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), causing 1.5 million deaths per year. Kuwait has one of the highest T2DM prevalence in the world and determining the proportion of patients and relatives who have pre-diabetes (PDM), insulin resistance (IR) and T2DM is crucial to inform preventive activities and curative services. Study objectives: The study describes the prevalence and risk factors of PDM, IR and T2DM, in adult patients attending a primary health care facility in Kuwait and the prevalence and risk factors of the same conditions among the patients’ f

Abstract:

A dynamic model is developed and presented that predicts the voltage response for a Severinghaus electrode-based point-of-care pCO2 sensor. Eight partial differential equations are derived to describe the diffusion and reaction phenomena in the sensor. The model is able to predict the potential response versus time behaviour from different CO2 concentrations in the calibration fluid and control fluids. The two most influential and uncertain parameters in the model are determined to be the forward rate constant for benzoquinone consumption at the gold surface ( k_(f_Au ) ), and the partition

Abstract:

In the developing world, there are large populations suffering from infectious diseases, many of whom are located in remote regions. With the rapid growth in microfluidic systems in recent years, complex functions of conventional diagnostic equipment have been miniaturized and integrated into small devices at the size of a credit card (so-called portable Point-of-care (POC) devices). In this thesis a novel approach to overcoming the challenge of in-field biological sample processing and preparation to produce high quality fluids that can be readily used for downstream testings is described a
