Light sensitivity in one eye could occur for many reasons, ranging from minor injuries, dry eye, and migraine to more serious conditions, such as multiple sclerosis. Light sensitivity, or photophobia, ...

Polymer thin-film optical cavities boost the magnetic sensing sensitivity of nanodiamond quantum sensors nearly fivefold ...

Within the context of screening tests, it is important to avoid misconceptions about sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values. In this article, therefore, foundations are first established ...

Pressure sensors are essential for a wide range of applications, including health monitoring, industrial diagnostics, etc.

An ideal test rarely overlooks the thing you are looking for (i.e., it is sensitive) and rarely mistakes it for something else (i.e. it is specific). Therefore, when evaluating diagnostic tests, it is ...

Salt (sodium chloride) is an essential nutrient required to maintain physiological functions. However, for most people, daily salt intake far exceeds their physiological need and is habitually greater ...

At-home food sensitivity tests, specifically IgG tests, do not reliably identify triggers for food-induced conditions. Allergy societies recommend against their use for food sensitivities and ...

Insulin sensitivity describes how sensitive the body is to the effects of insulin. Someone said to be insulin sensitive will require smaller amounts of insulin to lower blood glucose levels than ...

To find out how much insulin you need, it may help to calculate the insulin sensitivity factor. However, this calculation alone does not always determine how much insulin you need. The pancreas makes ...
