Exhaled breath barbotage: a new method for pulmonary surfactant dysfunction assessment [PDF]
, 2017 Exhaled air contains aerosol of submicron droplets of the alveolar lining fluid (ALF), which are generated in the small airways of a human lung. Since the exhaled particles are micro-samples of the ALF, their trapping opens up an opportunity to collect non-invasively a native material from respiratory tract.

Tuberculosis diagnostics and biomarkers: needs, challenges, recent advances, and opportunities [PDF]
, 2012 Tuberculosis is unique among the major infectious diseases in that it lacks accurate rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests. Failure to control the spread of tuberculosis is largely due to our inability to detect and treat all infectious cases of pulmonary
