Independent 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 کاملExhaled 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...

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? ...

Objective: To examine exhaled breath condensate levels of 8-iso-PGF2ot as a noninvasive quantification of pulmonary oxidant stress in patients with, or at risk for, ARDS/ALI. Methods: Breath condensate was collected from 22 patients with, or at risk for, ARDS/ALI by placing Tygon tubing submerged in an ice bath in line with the expiratory limb of the ventilator circuit. Ten patients without lun...
