How wonderful to have a non-invasive test that might help detect serious illness!!!
Quote:
The advantages of the laser technique — known as optical frequency comb spectroscopy — is that it would provide a painless and non-invasive way of detecting certain diseases. In addition, it could enable physicians to detect some conditions earlier when they may be more easily treated, Ye said.
With each breath, we exhale a variety of chemicals. The predominant compounds are carbon dioxide and oxygen, but a typical exhalation will also contain more than a thousand other chemicals in very tiny amounts, some of which can indicate disease. For example, ammonia could be a sign of kidney failure, while nitric oxide can indicate asthma.
Sounds good, and non-intrusive. Dogs (and cats) apparently can do this, but since they can't talk, they can't say what is wrong. Good example: the dog who makes her owner sit down before seizures occur.
