Abstract: A method for diagnosing COVID-19 infection of a person. The method includes acquiring a sputum sample of the person, measuring a level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the sputum sample, and detecting a COVID-19 infection status of the person based on the measured level of ROS. Measuring the level of ROS in the sputum sample includes recording a cyclic voltammetry (CV) pattern from the sputum sample and measuring a current peak of the recorded CV pattern. Detecting the COVID-19 infection status of the person based on the measured level of ROS includes detecting the person is infected with COVID-19 if the measured current peak is in a first range of current peaks and detecting the person is not infected with COVID-19 if the measured current peak is in a second range of current peaks.

Abstract: A method for detecting sentinel lymph nodes during surgery. The method includes injecting a crystalloid solution into a region, measuring a plurality of electrical parameters utilizing a sensor, and detecting a sentinel lymph node among a plurality of lymph nodes based on the plurality of electrical parameters. The region is associated with a tumor in a patient's body. Measuring the plurality of electrical parameters includes measuring each respective electrical parameter of a respective lymph node of the plurality of lymph nodes. The plurality of lymph nodes are associated with the tumor. The sentinel lymph node is located at a shortest distance from the tumor among the plurality of lymph nodes.

Abstract: A method for detecting cancerous status of a suspected lymph node (LN) to be cancerous. The method includes measuring fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in the suspected LN by measuring a charge transfer resistance (RCT) associated with the suspected LN, and detecting, utilizing one or more processors, a cancerous status of the suspected LN. Detecting the cancerous status of the suspected LN includes detecting the suspected LN is cancer involved if the measured RCT is less than a reference RCT value, or detecting the suspected LN is healthy if the measured RCT is more than the reference RCT value.

Abstract: A method for destroying a cancerous tumor. The method includes putting two electrodes of an electrical probe in contact with a portion of the cancerous tumor, plotting an impedance phase diagram by measuring a set of electrical impedance phase values from the portion of the cancerous tumor at end of a respective set of pre-determined time steps, destroying cancer cells of the portion of the cancerous tumor within each time step of the respective set of pre-determined time steps by electrolyzing peripheral medium surrounding the cancer cells of the portion of the cancerous tumor by applying a direct current (DC) voltage between the two electrodes, and stopping destroying of the cancer cells responsive to a complete destruction of the portion of the cancerous tumor, where the complete destruction includes obtaining a positive slope of the impedance phase diagram (IPS).
