A breath test for malignant mesothelioma using an electronic nose.
Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a rare tumour which is difficult to diagnose in its early stages. Earlier detection of MM could potentially improve survival. Exhaled breath sampling of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using a carbon polymer array (CPA) electronic nose recognises specific breath profiles characteristic of different diseases, and can distinguish between patients with lung cancer ...
متن کاملInflammatory Asthma Phenotype Discrimination Using an Electronic Nose Breath Analyzer.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Patients with persistent asthma have different inflammatory phenotypes. The electronic nose is a new technology capable of distinguishing volatile organic compound (VOC) breath-prints in exhaled breath. The aim of the study was to investigate the capacity of electronic nose breath-print analysis to discriminate between different inflammatory asthma phenotypes (eosinophi...
متن کاملPRIMARY MALIGNANT PERICARDIAL MESOTHELIOMA
Primary malignant neoplasms of the pericardium are rare and are predominantly mesotheliomas, followed by benign localized fibrous mesothelioma, malignant fibrosarcoma, angiosarcoma and benign and malignant teratomas. 1 This article concerns an atypical presentation of this malignant tumor with symptoms and signs of pericardial effusion.

متن کاملMESOMARK: a potential test for malignant pleural mesothelioma.
BACKGROUND Soluble mesothelin-related peptides (SMRP)have been reported to be potential biomarkers for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We report analytical and preliminary clinical studies of MESOMARK, a quantitative assay for SMRP. METHODS The MESOMARK assay is a 2-step immunoenzymatic assay in an ELISA format with a 6-point calibration curve (0-32 nmol/L). We assessed analytical impre...
متن کاملForming Odour Categories Using an Electronic Nose
The ability to use linguistic concepts to describe perceptions of measured data is an emerging feature for artificial sensing systems. In this work, we address the problem of symbolically representing odour categories using the data from an electronic nose. One objective is to facilitate human and computer interaction and therefore, the names given to the odours are coorelated with a human user...
