The development of sensors for monitoring breath acetone, a key biomarker for ketosis in diabetes mellitus, represents a critical frontier in medical diagnostics, promising a painless alternative to invasive blood tests. This review provides a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the state-of-the-art in acetone gas sensing technologies, including chemiresistive, optical, electrochemical, conductometric, and microwave platforms. We focus specifically on recent breakthroughs driven by advanced materials, analyzing how novel nanostructures from two-dimensional (2D) materials such as MXenes to porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are engineered to push performance to clinically relevant parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are rapidly transforming healthcare, with growing interest in their application to rare pediatric surgical conditions. In these settings, limited data availability often brakes traditional research. Although pediatric surgery has historically been slower than other specialties in adopting ML, recent years have seen an increase in AI-driven tools designed for surgical care.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, remains a leading neurodegenerative disorder that necessitates the development of diagnostic markers. While current cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and positron emission tomography (PET) biomarkers facilitate diagnostic accuracy, their invasive and pricey nature limits widespread application. Blood-based biomarkers, such as plasma Aβ42/40 and phosphorylated tau isoforms, are emerging as accessible alternatives.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the nervous system and cancer execute an intimate crosstalk, influencing cancer initiation, growth, spread, and resistance mechanisms. Cancer, vice versa, can change the nervous system. These mostly harmful neuro-cancer interactions constitute the emerging field of "cancer neuroscience.
