Salivary analysis of oral cancer biomarkers.

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Oral cancer is a common and lethal malignancy. Direct contact between saliva and the oral cancer lesion makes measurement of tumour markers in saliva an attractive alternative to serum testing. METHODS: We tested 19 tongue cancer ... Read more...

Simultaneous screening and quantification of 29 drugs of abuse in oral fluid by solid-phase extraction and ultraperformance LC-MS/MS.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The European DRUID (Driving under the Influence of Drugs, Alcohol And Medicines) project calls for analysis of oral fluid (OF) samples, collected randomly and anonymously at the roadside from drivers in Denmark throughout 2008-2009. To ... Read more...

Cold pressor stress impairs performance on working memory tasks requiring executive functions in healthy young men.

29 Sep 2009 The current study investigated the effects of cold pressor stress (CPS) on 2 working memory (WM) tasks differing in the demand they put on maintenance and executive processing. For this purpose 72 healthy young men were exposed either to a stress ... Read more...
