Improved detection of air trapping on expiratory computed tomography using deep learning.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Radiologic evidence of air trapping (AT) on expiratory computed tomography (CT) scans is associated with early pulmonary dysfunction in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, standard techniques for quantitative assessment of AT are...

Assessment of an Exhaled Breath Test Using High-Pressure Photon Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry to Detect Lung Cancer.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Exhaled breath is an attractive option for cancer detection. A sensitive and reliable breath test has the potential to greatly facilitate diagnoses and therapeutic monitoring of lung cancer.

Deep-learning algorithm helps to standardise ATS/ERS spirometric acceptability and usability criteria.

The European respiratory journal
RATIONALE: While American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) quality control criteria for spirometry include several quantitative limits, it also requires manual visual inspection. The current approach is time consuming and lea...

An adaptive Kalman filtering algorithm based on back-propagation (BP) neural network applied for simultaneously detection of exhaled CO and NO.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
A compact high-resolution spectroscopic sensor using a thermoelectrically (TE) cooled continuous-wave (CW) room temperature (RT) quantum cascade laser (QCL) was demonstrated for simultaneous measurements of exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrous ox...

Correlating exhaled aerosol images to small airway obstructive diseases: A study with dynamic mode decomposition and machine learning.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Exhaled aerosols from lungs have unique patterns, and their variation can be correlated to the underlying lung structure and associated abnormities. However, it is challenging to characterize such aerosol patterns and differentiate their ...

Exhaled breath condensate metabolome clusters for endotype discovery in asthma.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Asthma is a complex, heterogeneous disorder with similar presenting symptoms but with varying underlying pathologies. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a relatively unexplored matrix which reflects the signatures of respiratory epitheliu...

Aerosol delivery during spontaneous breathing with different types of nebulizers- in vitro/ex vivo models evaluation.

Pulmonary pharmacology & therapeutics
BACKGROUND: Nebulizers for spontaneous breathing have been evaluated through different study designs. There are limitations in simulated bench models related to patient and nebulizer factors. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of ...

Detection of lung cancer in exhaled breath with an electronic nose using support vector machine analysis.

Journal of breath research
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies and has a low 5-year survival rate. There are no cheap, simple and widely available screening methods for the early diagnostics of lung cancer. The aim of this study was to determine whether analysis...

The oral microbiome and its effect on exhaled breath volatile analysis-the elephant in the room.

Journal of breath research
The rapid transfer of volatiles from alveolar blood into the lungs and then out of the body in exhaled breath leads to the common and natural conclusion that these volatiles provide information on health and metabolic processes, with considerable pot...
