متن کاملNoninvasive detection of lung cancer using exhaled breath
Early detection of lung cancer is a key factor for increasing the survival rates of lung cancer patients. The analysis of exhaled breath is promising as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for diagnosis of lung cancer. We demonstrate the quantitative analysis of carbonyl volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and identification of lung cancer VOC markers in exhaled breath using unique silicon microreactor...
متن کاملCatching breath: monitoring airway inflammation using exhaled breath condensate.
A irway inflammation plays a key role in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other airway diseases. Noninvasive methods as tools to study these inflammatory processes and to monitor airway diseases are in high demand. This has lead to the rediscovery of sputum analysis and sputum induction as noninvasive tools to obtain samples from the airways [1]. Around this time increas...
متن کاملLevels of Exhaled Breath Condensate pH and Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Retired Coal Miners
Inhaled inorganic dusts, such as coal, can cause inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs, known as pneumoconiosis. Diagnosis of pneumoconiosis depends on morphological changes by radiological findings and functional change by pulmonary function test (PFT) . Unfortunately, current diagnostic findings are limited only to lung fibrosis, which is usually irreversibly progressive. Therefore, it is im...
