Exhaled breath condensate biomarkers in COPD.
Biomarkers in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may be useful in aiding diagnosis, defining specific phenotypes of disease, monitoring exacerbations and evaluating the effects of drugs. Exhaled breath condensate is a noninvasive means of sampling the airways, allowing biomarkers of airway inflammation and oxidative stress to be measured. In the present review, the use of exhaled breath cond...
متن کاملIndependent information of nonspecific biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate.
BACKGROUND Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) has been used for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory disorders. For clinical purposes the assessment of easy-to-obtain nonspecific markers seems particularly interesting. OBJECTIVES As these measures are related to each other, our objective was to extract the independent information in global EBC markers across a range of respiratory disorders. ...
متن کاملBreath condenser coatings affect measurement of biomarkers in exhaled breath condensate.
Exhaled breath condensate collection is not yet standardised and biomarker measurements are often close to lower detection limits. In the current study, it was hypothesised that adhesive properties of different condenser coatings interfere with measurements of eicosanoids and proteins in breath condensate. In vitro, condensate was derived from a collection model using two test solutions (8-isop...
متن کاملExhaled breath condensate pH
In a previous issue of the European Respiratory Journal STEVENS et al. [1] suggested that preschool children with wheeze account for a significant proportion of the UK healthcare budget. Most preschool wheezing is caused by viral infection and, therefore, we wondered how much preschool children with upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) without wheeze would cost the National Health Service? ...
متن کاملExhaled breath temperature in asthma.
We read with interest the manuscript of PIACENTINI et al. [1]. This paper shows that exhaled breath temperature plateau and exhaled nitric oxide (NO) are correlated in children with asthma. This finding is interesting considering that NO is a marker of inflammation and that exhaled breath temperature may also be used to assess inflammation in the airways in a noninvasive way. We previously show...
