Breathomics--exhaled volatile organic compound analysis to detect hepatic encephalopathy: a pilot study.
The current diagnostic challenge with diagnosing hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is identifying those with minimal HE as opposed to the more clinically apparent covert/overt HE. Rifaximin, is an effective therapy but earlier identification and treatment of HE could prevent liver disease progression and hospitalization. Our pilot study aimed to analyse breath samples of patients with different HE gr...
متن کاملDifferentiating Coeliac Disease from Irritable Bowel Syndrome by Urinary Volatile Organic Compound Analysis – A Pilot Study
Coeliac disease (CD), a T-cell-mediated gluten sensitive enteropathy, affects ∼ 1% of the UK population and can present with wide ranging clinical features, often being mistaken for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Heightened clinical awareness and serological screening identifies those with potential coeliac disease; the diagnosis is confirmed with duodenal biopsies, and symptom improvement wit...
متن کاملOptical Fiber Sensors to Detect Volatile Organic Compound in Sick Build- ing Syndrome Applications
Health issues, such as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), are being taken into account in new constructions, houses and several non industrial environments. SBS produces several manifestations, for example, respiratory irritative symptoms, headache and fatigue. It is caused by several factors. Most of them are related with the air quality, and the presence of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), among...

متن کاملVolatile organic compound detection using nanostructured copolymers.
Regioregular polythiophene-based conductive copolymers with highly crystalline nanostructures are shown to hold considerable promise as the active layer in volatile organic compound (VOC) chemresistor sensors. While the regioregular polythiophene polymer chain provides a charge conduction path, its chemical sensing selectivity and sensitivity can be altered either by incorporating a second poly...
