Patients who suffer from certain long-term diseases might have to wait years to receive an accurate diagnosis. For instance, numerous pulmonary and cardiovascular problems can present with symptoms similar to shortness of breath.
<p style="text-align:justify"><em>Patients struggling with some chronic diseases often must wait years for a proper diagnosis. For example, symptoms such as shortness of breath can be attributed to many pulmonary as well as cardiovascular disorders, so patients may be treated for a misdiagnosed disease that is far from accurate diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, one of the most promising methods to deal with this problem is to track the levels of specific compounds in the body during the development of a specific disease. Moving in this direction, scientists at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Warsaw, Poland) and the National Kaohsiung University in Kaohsiung (Kaohsiung, Taiwan) presented their research on developing a method for fast and effective diagnosis of a lethal pulmonary disease.</em></p>
