This will include collection of questionnaire data, clinical samples (blood, urine, sputum and breath samples), lung function data and air pollution monitoring in their home.
The primary research question is whether non-invasive inflammatory biomarkers in exhaled breath and lung function indices can reliably predict asthma at an early age.
These findings support our hypothesis that glucose-hydrogen breath testing can function as a safe and inexpensive test for the examination of patients with abdominal symptoms after RYGB.
The development of a new diagnostic tool for asthma at an early age, based on non-invasive inflammatory biomarkers in exhaled breath, and lung function can lead to an early asthma diagnosis.
Stockmann, M. & Lock, J. F. How far is the development of 13C-liver-function breath tests?
Dellinger and colleagues recently reported the use of an acoustic-based imaging device to map the geographical distribution of breath sound as a function of mechanical ventilation mode [ 28].
Olson used the duration of a human breath, a basic human function that conveyed a poet's vital energy, as the measure of a poetic line.
During this visit, data will be collected through the use of questionnaires and the measurements of lung function, exhaled breath, peripheral blood and blood plasma.
