Microbiota in Exhaled Breath Condensate and the Lung [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2017
ABSTRACT The lung microbiota is commonly sampled using relatively invasive bronchoscopic procedures. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) collection potentially offers a less invasive alternative for lung microbiota sampling. We compared lung microbiota samples retrieved by protected specimen brushings (PSB) and exhaled breath condensate ...

The pelvis doesn't walk by itself: Wider pelves reduce the cost of walking over unstable surfaces

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Walking over variable and/or unstable terrain is a key aspect of daily life and was crucial to the evolution of bipedalism. The ability to find gait solutions that maintained stability over uneven terrain for the least increase in metabolic cost was likely a hallmark of locomotor effectiveness in early humans, in particular acting as an ...

Recent Advances in Sensing Materials Targeting Clinical Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Biomarkers: A Review

Biosensors, 2023
In general, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have a high vapor pressure at room temperature (RT). It has been reported that all humans generate unique VOC profiles in their exhaled breath which can be utilized as biomarkers to diagnose disease ...

Effects of flow‐controlled expiration on oxygenation and early recovery in horses undergoing general anaesthesia

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background FLow‐controlled EXpiration (FLEX) has been shown to significantly enhance oxygenation in horses under clinical and experimental conditions. Objectives To compare pulmonary gas exchange during early recovery following general anaesthesia in horses ventilated with FLEX compared with conventional intermittent positive pressure ...

Sufficient Gas and Solvated Ion Transport Assisted Rapid NH3 Detection at Room Temperature Through Bionic Olfactory Fibres

Exploration, EarlyView.
Bionic olfactory fibres with nanoconfined ionic liquids were developed to mimic human olfactory cilia. Benefiting from sufficient gas transport pathways provided by inter‐fibre interconnected pores and rapid transport of solvated ions in the confined nano spacing, bionic olfactory fibres show excellent sensing performance to NH3 and demonstrate the ...
