Laser Spectroscopy Method for Non-invasive Analysis of Breath in Pulmonary Disease
Oxidative stress in the respiratory system after the normal metabolism of oxygen and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase the production of mediators of pulmonary inflammation and initiate or promote mechanisms of carcinogenesis. The molecules contained in the exhaled breath can provide information about the physiological processes that occur in the body. In this study, we prese...

.A31.Yearold black man presented in the emergency room with acute shortness of breath. Physical examination revealed numerous symmetrical asymptomatic firm nodules scattered over his trunk and extremities (Fig 1). Auscultation of his chest revealed diffuse intermittent rales over all lung fields. Review of systems was significant for a ten pound weight loss in the last month, increasing dyspnea...
متن کاملNon-invasive metabolomic analysis of breath using differential mobility spectrometry in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and healthy smokers.
The rapid, accurate and non-invasive diagnosis of respiratory disease represents a challenge to clinicians, and the development of new treatments can be confounded by insufficient knowledge of lung disease phenotypes. Exhaled breath contains a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), some of which could potentially represent biomarkers for lung diseases. We have developed an adapti...
متن کاملO-Toluidine in Breath-Non-Invasive Prilocaine Monitoring
The generation of methaemoglobin is a rare but potential life-threatening side effect in the use of the local anaesthetic prilocaine. It is currently only possible to ensure the diagnosis by means of blood tests. Rapid noninvasive diagnosis is desirable, especially for risk patients. Using a pig model, we induced methaemoglobinemia via application of dimethyl aminophenol and prilocaine (setup I...
متن کامل13CO2 breath tests in non-invasive hepatological diagnosis
In liver diagnostics, a simple, non-invasive test with high sensitivity and specificity is permanently being sought in order to assess the degree of liver damage. In addition to liver biopsy, algorithms using blood parameters or elastometry are used in clinical practice. However, these methods do not provide information about the true liver reserve, so the liver breath test seem to be a promisi...
