Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The requirement for diagnostic surgical operations of gastrointestinal system diseases significantly decreases with the help of proper diagnostic tools. These modalities are also beneficial for identifying postoperative complications, allowing us to diagnose them in earlier stages, and increasing the postoperative survival rates. Biomarkers are considered an integral part of diagnostic examinations. Developments of biomarkers used for diagnosing and treating abdominal diseases are essential for improving our capabilities in non-invasive monitoring. In this chapter, we review both the novel and the routine biomarkers in the diagnosis and follow-up of gastrointestinal system diseases.
