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...
As a research tool, analysis of biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate continues to be refined and reshaped as new potential applications are discovered. Collection methods, analysis techniques, and biomarker targets are being combined in new and novel ways. ...
Breath Biomarkers Breath biomarkers are just now entering mainstream consideration as selection markers and outcome variables for pharmaceutical clinical trials. This is due to the recent explosion of low-cost, high-sensitivity analytical tools creating opportunities...
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...
Measuring cytokine levels in Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) continues to be a major objective of breath research. However, there are often substantial data reporting and interpretation differences between research groups making comparisons between studies difficult....
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...
