ABSTRACT Background The optimal protocol for clinical liver 31P‐magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) remains unclear. Single‐voxel 31P‐MRS using image‐selected in vivo spectroscopy (ISIS) employs respiratory‐triggering (RT) or free‐breathing (FB) acquisition.

Infectious virus in exhaled breath of symptomatic seasonal influenza cases from a college community
Significance Lack of human data on influenza virus aerosol shedding fuels debate over the importance of airborne transmission. We provide overwhelming evidence that humans generate infectious aerosols and quantitative data to improve mathematical models ...

Acute Effects of Smoking and Vaping on Markers of Vascular Function via Quantitative MRI
ABSTRACT Background E‐cigarettes contribute to endothelial dysfunction, a known cause of systemic atherosclerotic disease that cannot be adequately characterized by a single physiological parameter measured at a single vascular bed. Purpose/Hypothesis Quantify and compare acute effects of smoking or vaping with tobacco cigarettes (t‐cigs), nicotinized ...

A 22% breath‐hold failure and exclusion rate highlighted major communication barriers for CALD breast radiotherapy patients. In response, a multilingual app was developed to deliver translated coaching for DIBH and EBH in seven languages, improving health equity within the local health district through early education, patient‐friendly FAQs, and ...

Sensors for Enhanced Detection of Acetone as a Potential Tool for Noninvasive Diabetes Monitoring
Measurement of blood-borne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) occurring in human exhaled breath as a result of metabolic changes or pathological disorders is a promising tool for noninvasive medical diagnosis, such as exhaled acetone measurements in terms

Improving lung cancer diagnosis by combining exhaled-breath data and clinical parameters
Introduction Exhaled-breath analysis of volatile organic compounds could detect lung cancer earlier, possibly leading to improved outcomes. Combining exhaled-breath data with clinical parameters may improve lung cancer diagnosis.

Open or closed: Experience of head and neck radiotherapy masks – A mixed‐methods study
Patients with head and neck cancer received radiotherapy alternately with an open and a closed mask. The closed mask was perceived as more confining and restrictive, but it was also considered to make it easier to quickly achieve the correct position, while the open mask was perceived as less stable, although it reduced the feeling of claustrophobia ...

Exhaled Breath Condensate pH Assays [PDF]
Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is the only currently available, convenient, noninvasive, ethically acceptable method of assessing airway acidity (pH), especially when it comes to repeated sampling from acutely ill patients. It remains necessary to interpret the data cautiously, because acid at any level in the airway can lead to EBC acidification, and

Market Interviews in Shared Traumatic Reality: A Trauma‐Informed, Co‐Constructed Framework
ABSTRACT Qualitative market interviews may become trauma‐sensitive when ordinary questions about consumption, work, finance, mobility, identity, professional continuity, or institutional trust intersect with displacement, insecurity, loss, or ongoing threat.
