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

Exhaled breath condensate: lessons learned from veterinary medicine
Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) describes any sample collected by cooling exhaled breath. Because the method of condensate collection is simple, non-invasive, repeatable and does not necessarily require patient cooperation, EBC is not only an interesting,

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 ...

Noninvasive detection of lung cancer by analysis of exhaled breath
Background Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Europe and the western world. At present, diagnosis of lung cancer very often happens late in the course of the disease since inexpensive, non-invasive and sufficiently sensitive and ...
