ABSTRACT: Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) is easy to collect using the RTube and can be used as a tool in clinical and diagnostic research. Data was recorded on how much exhaled breath condensate the RTube collects at different timepoints over a ten-minute span under...
Journal Article Summary “Non-invasive lung cancer diagnosis by detection of GATA6 and NKX2-1 isoforms in exhaled breath condensate” by G. Barreto et al. The RTube has successfully been used to isolate RNA, microRNA and DNA from Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC). While...
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a serious form of lung injury that can affect patients who require mechanical ventilation. This can be fatal, especially when the lower airway and alveoli fail to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide for a sustained period...
New research from the University of California San Francisco suggests how non-invasive breath tests could predict a patient’s likelihood of developing lung cancer. Dr. Daya Upadhyay, Medical Director of the Lung Nodule Program at UCSF, presented her findings at the...
Thank you all for visiting our booth at the American Thoracic Society International Conference 2015 in Denver last month. It was great to see you and learn more about your specific research interests. Three trends became evident from our conversations and a review...
Exhaled Breath Condensate pH is one of the most validated biomarkers in EBC. There are many publications linking low EBC pH to various lung diseases and offering reasons to consider pH as part of an exhaled biomarker study. We won’t be exploring the “why” here; just...
