Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for measuring circulating cells in superficial body fluids by means of high-frequency-based device. The method can be used for detecting circulating cells in the fluids of an individual without the necessity of extracting a sample of the individual, being useful as a diagnostic tool and for monitoring the effectiveness of a treatment administered to an individual suffering from a viral, protozoal, fungal and/or bacterial disease.

Abstract: In part, disclosure relates to a monitoring system for monitoring RF attenuation of a material. In one embodiment, the system includes a plurality of transmitting antennas; an RF generator having a first output terminal in electrical communication with each of the plurality of transmitting antennas and a second output terminal; a plurality of receiving antennas, each of the receiving antennas having an output terminal, and a processor having a first input terminal in electrical communication with the second output terminal of the RF generator, having a second input terminal in electrical communication with the output terminal of each of the plurality of receiving antennas, and having a first output in electrical communication with a display. In one embodiment, the processor calculates the attenuation of the RF signal in response to the RF signals received by the plurality of receiving antennas through the material.
