Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a serious medical condition generally known as heart attack, which is caused by the decreased or completely blocked blood flow to a part of the heart muscle. It is a significant cause of both mortality and morbidity throughout the world. Cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) is an important biomarker at different stages of AMI and is one of the most specific and widely used cardiac skeletal muscle proteins. Delays in medical treatment and inaccurate diagnosis might be the main cause of death of AMI patients. To overcome the death rate of AMI patients, early diagnosis of this disease is crucial. In the current study, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is employed for the characterization and diagnosis of this disease using blood serum samples from 49 clinically confirmed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and 17 healthy persons. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used as the SERS substrate for the recognition of characteristic SERS spectral features, differentiating between healthy and AMI-positive samples. The acute myocardial infarction-positive blood serum samples reveal remarkable differences in spectral intensities at 534, 697, 744, 835, 927, 941, 988, 1221, 1303, 1403, 1481, 1541, 1588 and 1694 cm-1. For the differentiation and quantitative analysis of the SERS spectra, multivariate chemometric tools (including principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares regression (PLSR)) are employed. A PLSR model established on the basis of differentiating the SERS spectral features is found to be helpful in the prediction of the levels of cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) in the blood serum samples with the root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) value of 2.98 ng mL-1 and root mean square errors of prediction (RMSEP) value of 3.98 ng mL-1 for S7.

Abstract
Cancer is globally a leading cause of death that would benefit from diagnostic approaches detecting it in its early stages. However, despite much research and investment, cancer early diagnosis is still underdeveloped. Owing to its high sensitivity, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based detection of biomarkers has attracted growing interest in this area. Oligonucleotides are an important type of genetic biomarkers as their alterations can be linked to the disease prior to symptom onset. We propose a machine-learning (ML)-enabled framework to analyze complex direct SERS spectra of short, single-stranded DNA and RNA targets to identify relevant mutations occurring in genetic biomarkers, which are key disease indicators. First, by employing ad hoc-synthesized colloidal silver nanoparticles as SERS substrates, we analyze single-base mutations in ssDNA and RNA sequences using a direct SERS-sensing approach. Then, an ML-based hypothesis test is proposed to identify these changes and differentiate the mutated sequences from the corresponding native ones. Rooted in "functional data analysis," this ML approach fully leverages the rich information and dependencies within SERS spectral data for improved modeling and detection capability. Tested on a large set of DNA and RNA SERS data, including from miR-21 (a known cancer miRNA biomarker), our approach is shown to accurately differentiate SERS spectra obtained from different oligonucleotides, outperforming various data-driven methods across several performance metrics, including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1-scores. Hence, this work represents a step forward in the development of the combined use of SERS and ML as effective methods for disease diagnosis with real applicability in the clinic.

Abstract
Identification of adulterants in commercial samples of methyl eugenol is necessary because it is a botanical insecticide, a tephritid male attractant lure that is used to attract and kill invasive pests such as oriental fruit flies and melon flies on crops. In this study, Raman spectroscopy was used to qualitatively and quantitatively assess commercial methyl eugenol along with adulterants. For this purpose, commercial methyl eugenol was adulterated with different concentrations of xylene. The Raman spectral features of methyl eugenol and xylene in liquid formulations were examined, and Raman peaks were identified as associated with the methyl eugenol and adulterant. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least-squares regression analysis (PLSR) have been used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the Raman spectral features. PCA was applied to differentiate Raman spectral data for various concentrations of methyl eugenol and xylene. Additionally, PLSR has been used to develop a predictive model to observe a quantitative relationship between various concentrations of adulterated methyl eugenol and their Raman spectral data sets. The root-mean-square errors of calibration and prediction were calculated using this model, and the results were found to be 1.90 and 3.86, respectively. The goodness of fit of the PLSR model is found to be 0.99. The proposed approach showed excellent potential for the rapid, quantitative detection of adulterants in methyl eugenol, and it may be applied to the analysis of a range of pesticide products.

Abstract
Drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria are a major cause of infectious diseases in the world and they have become a major threat through the reduced efficacy of developed antibiotics. This issue can be addressed by using bacteriophages, which can kill lethal bacteria and prevent them from causing infections. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising technique for studying the degradation of infectious bacteria by the interaction of bacteriophages to break the vicious cycle of drug-resistant bacteria and help to develop chemotherapy-independent remedial strategies. The phage (viruses)-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria are exposed to bacteriophages (Siphoviridae family) in the time frame from 0 min (control) to 50 minutes with intervals of 5 minutes and characterized by SERS using silver nanoparticles as SERS substrate. This allows us to explore the effects of the bacteriophages against lethal bacteria (S. aureus) at different time intervals. The differentiating SERS bands are observed at 575 (C-C skeletal mode), 620 (phenylalanine), 649 (tyrosine, guanine (ring breathing)), 657 (guanine (COO deformation)), 728-735 (adenine, glycosidic ring mode), 796 (tyrosine (C-N stretching)), 957 (C-N stretching (amide lipopolysaccharides)), 1096 (PO2 (nucleic acid)), 1113 (phenylalanine), 1249 (CH2 of amide III, N-H bending and C-O stretching (amide III)), 1273 (CH2, N-H, C-N, amide III), 1331 (C-N stretching mode of adenine), 1373 (in nucleic acids (ring breathing modes of the DNA/RNA bases)) and 1454 cm-1 (CH2 deformation of saturated lipids), indicating the degradation of bacteria and replication of bacteriophages. Multivariate data analysis was performed by employing principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to study the biochemical differences in the S. aureus bacteria infected by the bacteriophage. The SERS spectral data sets were successfully differentiated by PLS-DA with 94.47% sensitivity, 98.61% specificity, 94.44% precision, 98.88% accuracy and 81.06% area under the curve (AUC), which shows that at 50 min interval S. aureus bacteria is degraded by the replicating bacteriophages.

Abstract
Viral hepatitis is a global health concern mostly caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). The late diagnosis and delayed treatment of HBV and HCV infections can cause irreversible liver damage and the occurrence of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Detecting the presence and activity of HBV and HCV is the cornerstone of the diagnosis and management of related diseases. However, the traditional method shows limitations. The utilization of nanomaterials has been of great significance in the advancement of virus detection technologies due to their unique mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. Here, we categorized and illustrated the novel approaches used for the diagnosis of HBV and HCV.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy has long been known to provide sufficient information to discriminate distinct cell phenotypes. Underlying this discriminating capability is that Raman spectra provide an overall readout of the metabolic profiles that change with transcriptomic activity. Robustly associating Raman spectral changes with the regulation of specific signaling pathways may be possible, but the spectral signals of interest may be weak and vary somewhat among individuals. Establishing a Raman-to-transcriptome mapping will thus require tightly controlled and easily manipulated biological systems and high-throughput spectral acquisition. We attempt to meet these requirements using broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) microscopy to spatio-spectrally map the C. elegans hermaphrodite gonad in vivo at subcellular resolution. The C. elegans hermaphrodite gonad is an ideal model system with a sequential, continuous process of highly regulated spatiotemporal cellular events. We demonstrate that the BCARS spatio-spectral signatures correlate with gene expression profiles in the gonad, evincing that BCARS has potential as a spatially resolved omics surrogate.

Abstract
Blood serum contains essential biochemical information which are used for early disease diagnosis. Blood serum consisted of higher molecular weight fractions (HMWF) and lower molecular weight fractions (LMWF). The disease biomarkers are lower molecular weight fraction proteins, and their contribution to disease diagnosis is suppressed due to higher molecular weight fraction proteins. To diagnose diabetes in early stages are difficult because of the presence of huge amount of these HMWF. In the current study, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are employed to diagnose diabetes after centrifugation of serum samples using Amicon ultra filter devices of 50 kDa which produced two fractions of whole blood serum of filtrate, low molecular weight fraction, and residue, high molecular weight fraction. Furthermore SERS is employed to study the LMW fractions of healthy and diseased samples. Some prominent SERS bands are observed at 725 cm-1, 842 cm-1, 1025 cm-1, 959 cm-1, and 1447 cm-1 due to small molecular weight proteins, and these biomarkers helped to diagnose the disease early stage. Moreover, chemometric techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) are employed to check the potential of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for the differentiation and classifications of the blood serum samples. SERS can be employed for the early diagnosis and screening of biochemical changes during type II diabetes.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused an ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and a rising demand for the development of accurate, timely, and cost-effective diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2 as well as other viral infections in general. Currently, traditional virus screening methods such as plate culturing and real-time PCR are considered the gold standard with accurate and sensitive results. However, these methods still require sophisticated equipment, trained personnel, and a long analysis time. Alternatively, with the integration of microfluidic and biosensor technologies, microfluidic-based biosensors offer the ability to perform sample preparation and simultaneous detection of many analyses in one platform. High sensitivity, accuracy, portability, low cost, high throughput, and real-time detection can be achieved using a single platform. This review presents recent advances in microfluidic-based biosensors from many works to demonstrate the advantages of merging the two technologies for sensing viruses. Different platforms for virus detection are classified into two main sections: immunoassays and molecular assays. Moreover, available commercial sensing tests are analyzed.

Abstract
Chronic liver diseases (CLDs) are a major public health problem. Despite the progress achieved in fighting against viral hepatitis, the emergence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease might pose a serious challenge to the public's health in the coming decades. Medical management of CLDs represents a substantial burden on the public health infrastructures. The health care cost of these diseases is an additional burden that weighs heavily on the economies of developing countries. Effective management of CLDs requires the adoption of reliable and cost-effective screening and diagnosing methods to ensure early detection and accurate clinical assessment of these diseases. Vibrational spectroscopies have emerged as universal analytical methods with promising applications in various industrial and biomedical fields. These revolutionary analytical techniques rely on analyzing the interaction between a light beam and the test sample to generate a spectral fingerprint. This latter is defined by the analyte's chemical structure and the molecular vibrations of its functional groups. Raman spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy have been used in combination with various chemometric tests to diagnose a wide range of malignant, metabolic and infectious diseases. The aim of the current review is to cast light on the use of these optical sensing methods in the diagnosis of CLDs. The vast majority of research works that investigated the potential application of these spectroscopic techniques in screening and detecting CLDs were discussed here. The advantages and limitations of these modern analytical methods, as compared with the routine and gold standard diagnostic approaches, were also reviewed in details.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an efficient technique which has been used for the analysis of filtrate portions of serum samples of Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) virus. OBJECTIVES The main reason for this study is to differentiate and compare HBV and HCV serum samples for disease diagnosis through SERS. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C disease biomarkers are more predictable in their centrifuged form as compared in their uncentrifuged form. For differentiation of SERS spectral data sets of hepatitis B, hepatitis C and healthy person principal component analysis (PCA) proved to be a helpful. Centrifugally filtered serum samples of hepatitis B and hepatitis C are clearly differentiated from centrifugally filtered serum samples of healthy individuals by using partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). METHODOLOGY Serum sample of HBV, HCV and healthy patients were centrifugally filtered to separate filtrate portion for studying biochemical changes in serum sample. The SERS of these samples is performed using silver nanoparticles as substrates to identify specific spectral features of both viral diseases which can be used for the diagnosis and differentiation of these diseases. The purpose of centrifugal filtration of the serum samples of HBV and HCV positive and control samples by using filter membranes of 50 KDa size is to eliminate the proteins bigger than 50 KDa so that their contribution in the SERS spectrum is removed and disease related smaller proteins may be observed. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) are statistical tools which were used for the further validation of SERS. RESULTS HBV and HCV centrifugally filtered serum sample were compared and biomarkers including (uracil, phenylalanine, methionine, adenine, phosphodiester, proline, tyrosine, tryptophan, amino acid, thymine, fatty acid, nucleic acid, triglyceride, guanine and hydroxyproline) were identified through PCA and PLS-DA. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were used as a multivariate data analysis tool for the diagnosis of the characteristic SERS spectral features associated with both types of viral diseases. For the classification and differentiation of centrifugally filtered HBV, HCV, and control serum samples, Principal component analysis is found helpful. Moreover, PLS-DA can classify these two distinct sets of SERS spectral data with 0.90 percent specificity, 0.85 percent precision, and 0.83 percent accuracy. CONCLUSIONS Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy along with chemometric analysis like PCA and PLS-DA have been successfully differentiated HBV and HCV and healthy individuals' serum samples.

Abstract
Recently, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the need for early diagnosis of infectious diseases, including viruses, is emerging. Though early diagnosis is essential to prevent infection and progression to severe illness, there are few technologies that accurately measure low concentrations of biomarkers. Plasmonic nanomaterials are attracting materials that can effectively amplify various signals, including fluorescence, Raman, and other optical and electromagnetic output. In this review, we introduce recently developed plasmonic nanobiosensors for measuring viral DNA/RNA as potential biomarkers of viral diseases. In addition, we discuss the future perspective of plasmonic nanobiosensors for DNA/RNA detection. This review is expected to help the early diagnosis and pathological interpretation of viruses and other diseases.

Abstract
Vibrational spectroscopic techniques, both infrared absorption and Raman scattering, are high precision, label free analytical techniques which have found applications in fields as diverse as analytical chemistry, pharmacology, forensics and archeometrics and, in recent times, have attracted increasing attention for biomedical applications. As analytical techniques, they have been applied to the characterisation of viruses as early as the 1970 s, and, in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, have been explored in response to the World Health Organisation as novel methodologies to aid in the global efforts to implement and improve rapid screening of viral infection. This review considers the history of the application of vibrational spectroscopic techniques to the characterisation of the morphology and chemical compositions of viruses, their attachment to, uptake by and replication in cells, and their potential for the detection of viruses in population screening, and in infection response monitoring applications. Particular consideration is devoted to recent efforts in the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, and monitoring COVID-19.

Abstract
In the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in the number of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy applications in medical research. In this article we review some recent, and in our opinion, most interesting and promising applications of SERS spectroscopy in medical diagnostics, including those that permit multiplexing within the range important for clinical samples. We focus on the SERS-based detection of markers of various diseases (or those whose presence significantly increases the chance of developing a given disease), and on drug monitoring. We present selected examples of the SERS detection of particular fragments of DNA or RNA, or of bacteria, viruses, and disease-related proteins. We also describe a very promising and elegant ‘lab-on-chip’ approach used to carry out practical SERS measurements via a pad whose action is similar to that of a pregnancy test. The fundamental theoretical background of SERS spectroscopy, which should allow a better understanding of the operation of the sensors described, is also briefly outlined. We hope that this review article will be useful for researchers planning to enter this fascinating field.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is one of the most sensitive analytical tools. In some cases, it is possible to record a high-quality SERS spectrum in which even a single molecule is involved. Therefore, SERS is considered a significantly promising option as an alternative to routine analytical techniques used in food, environmental, biochemical, and medical analyzes. In this review, the definitive applications of SERS developed to identify biochemically important species (especially medical and biological) from the simplest to the most complex are briefly discussed. Moreover, the potential capability of SERS for being used as an alternative to routine methods in diagnostic and clinical cases is demonstrated. In addition, this article describes how SERS-based sensors work, addresses its advancements in the last 20 years, discusses its applications for detecting Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), and finally describes future works. The authors hope that this article will be useful for researchers who want to enter this amazing field of research.

Abstract
This review surveys Infrared, Raman/SERS and Brillouin spectroscopies for medical diagnostics and detection of biomarkers in biofluids, that include urine, blood, saliva and other biofluids. These optical sensing techniques are non-contact, noninvasive and relatively rapid, accurate, label-free and affordable. However, those techniques still have to overcome some challenges to be widely adopted in routine clinical diagnostics. This review summarizes and provides insights on recent advancements in research within the field of vibrational spectroscopy for medical diagnostics and its use in detection of many health conditions such as kidney injury, cancers, cardiovascular and infectious diseases. The six comprehensive tables in the review and four tables in supplementary information summarize a few dozen experimental papers in terms of such analytical parameters as limit of detection, range, diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, and other figures of merits. Critical comparison between SERS and FTIR methods of analysis reveals that on average the reported sensitivity for biomarkers in biofluids for SERS vs FTIR is about 103 to 105 times higher, since LOD SERS are lower than LOD FTIR by about this factor. High sensitivity gives SERS an edge in detection of many biomarkers present in biofluids at low concentration (nM and sub nM), which can be particularly advantageous for example in early diagnostics of cancer or viral infections.HighlightsRaman, Infrared spectroscopies use low volume of biofluidic samples, little sample preparation, fast time of analysis and relatively inexpensive instrumentation.Applications of SERS may be a bit more complicated than applications of FTIR (e.g., limited shelf life for nanoparticles and substrates, etc.), but this can be generously compensated by much higher (by several order of magnitude) sensitivity in comparison to FTIR.High sensitivity makes SERS a noninvasive analytical method of choice for detection, quantification and diagnostics of many health conditions, metabolites, and drugs, particularly in diagnostics of cancer, including diagnostics of its early stages.FTIR, particularly ATR-FTIR can be a method of choice for efficient sensing of many biomarkers, present in urine, blood and other biofluids at sufficiently high concentrations (mM and even a few µM)Brillouin scattering spectroscopy detecting visco-elastic properties of probed liquid medium, may also find application in clinical analysis of some biofluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid and urine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is a reliable tool for identification and differentiation of two diseases showing similar symptoms, hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV). OBJECTIVES To develop a polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR) based SERS technique for differentiation of two human pathological conditions sharing the same symptoms using multivariate data analysis techniques e.g. principle component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminate analysis (PLS-DA). METHODS PCR products of HBV and HCV were differentiated by SERS using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a SERS substrate. For this analysis, PCR products of both the diseases with predetermined viral loads were collected and analyzed under SERS instrument and unique SERS spectra of HBV and HCV was compared showing many differences at various points. Diseased classes of HBV and HCV and their negative control classes (viral load less than 1) were compared. PCR products of true healthy DNA and RNA were also compared, which were significantly separated. Moreover, SERS data was analyzed using multivariate data analysis techniques including principle component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) and differences were so prominent to observe. RESULTS SERS spectral data of HBV and HCV showed clear differences and were significantly separated using PCA. Negative control samples of both disorders and their true healthy samples of DNA and RNA were separated according to 1st principle component. By analyzing data using partial least square discriminate analysis, differentiation of two disease classes was considered more valid with sensitivity, specificity and accuracy value of 96%, 94% and 98% respectively. Value of area under curve (AUROC) was 0.7527. CONCLUSION SERS can be employed for identification and comparison of two human pathological conditions sharing the same symptomology.

In this mini-review, we briefly describe certain recently developed applications of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for determining various biochemically (especially medically) important species from ones as simple as hydrogen cations to those as complex as specific DNA fragments. We present a SERS analysis of species whose characterization is important to our understanding of various mechanisms in the human body and to show its potential as an alternative for methods routinely used in diagnostics and clinics. Furthermore, we explain how such SERS-based sensors operate and point out future prospects in this field.
