Analysis of volatile organic compounds in breath as a potential diagnostic modality in disease monitoring [PDF]
, 2011 The use of breath odours in medical diagnosis dates back to classical times, though in its modern form the technique is only a few decades old. There are several breath tests in common clinical use, though all of them involve administration of a known or

Exhaled breath condensate biomarkers in COPD [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2008 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.

Non-Invasive Estimation of Systemic Drug Exposure Using Exhaled Breath Metabolomics in Humans: A Translational Proof-of-Concept Study. [PDF]
Clin Pharmacol TherAccurate assessment of systemic drug exposure in humans remains challenging, as conventional approaches rely on intermittent blood sampling and laboratory‐based assays that are invasive and provide limited temporal resolution. Exhaled breath contains volatile and semi‐volatile compounds arising from drug metabolism and downstream biological processes ...

Collecting Protein Biomarkers in Breath Using Electret Filters: A Preliminary Method on New Technical Model and Human Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Biomarkers in exhaled breath are useful for respiratory disease diagnosis in human volunteers. Conventional methods that collect non-volatile biomarkers, however, necessitate an extensive dilution and sanitation processes that lowers collection ...

An Exhaled Breath Sampler Based on Condensational Growth and Cyclone Centrifugation (BSCC)
Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2022 An exhaled breath sampler based on condensational growth and cyclone centrifugation (BSCC) was developed and evaluated. The BSCC increases the size of exhaled breath aerosols through condensational growth and then collects them as liquid sample via ...

Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Exhaled Breath [PDF]
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2012 With each breath that we exhale, thousands of molecules are expelled in our breath, giving individuals a "breath-print" that can tell a lot about them and their state of health. Breath analysis is rapidly evolving as the new frontier in medical testing.
