Dogs can sniff out cancer in blood with 97% accuracy

Your canine friend can use its highly evolved sense of smell to pick out blood samples from people with cancer with almost 97 percent accuracy, a finding that can lead to new low-cost and non-invasive screening approaches for the disease, finds a study. Dogs have smell receptors 10,000 times more accurate than humans’, making them highly sensitive to odours we can not perceive. “Although there is no cure for cancer, early detection offers the best hope,” said lead researcher Heather Junqueira, at BioScentDx, a US-based healthcare company. “A highly sensitive test for detecting cancer could save thousands of lives and change the way the disease is treated,” he said. For the study, the team used a form of clicker training to teach four beagles to distinguish between normal blood serum and samples from patients with malignant lung cancer. Although one beagle, aptly named Snuggles, was unmotivated to perform, the other three correctly identified lung cancer samples 96.7 percent times and normal samples 97.5 percent times. “This work is very exciting because it paves the way for further research along two paths, both of which could lead to new cancer-detection tools,” said Junqueira. “One is using canine scent detection as a screening method for cancers, and the other would be to determine the biologic compounds the dogs detect and then design cancer-screening tests based on those compounds,” he said. The results will be presented at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology annual meeting in Florida. The team plans to use canine scent detection to develop a non-invasive way of screening for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. – IANS 6 GULF TIMES Friday, April 12, 2019 COMMUNITY CUISINE

Photos by Ramchandran Sreedharan The heritage of Al Zubarah

Qatar’s largest heritage site, with its impressive city wall, ancient residential palaces and houses, markets, industrial areas and mosques, Al Zubarah is one of the best-preserved examples of an 18th and 19th century Gulf merchant town. The cultural landscape of Al Zubarah unravels the socio-economic transformation of the land, and the history of urban trading and pearl-diving traditions that sustained the major coastal towns of the region – from the early Islamic period up to the 20th century. It is a prime example of the urban-planning capabilities of the time. Once a thriving port bustling with fi shermen and merchants, the town of Al Zubarah was designated a protected area in 2009. In 2013, the World Heritage Committee inscribed Al Zubarah Archaeological Site into the Unesco World Heritage List. The site includes three major features, the largest of which are the archaeological remains of the town, dating back to the 1760s. Connected to it is the settlement of Qal’at Murair, which was fortifi ed to protect the city’s inland wells. Al Zubarah Fort, one of the prime tourist attractions in Qatar, was built in 1938 and is the youngest, most prominent feature at the site. Friday, April 12, 2019 GULF TIMES 11 LEISURE COMMUNITY
