Methods of measuring FeNO Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurement plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of airway inflammation. FeNO testing is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to help diagnose asthma1, with the NObreath® device one of three devices recommended by NICE1. In 2005 the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the ...
In the field of aviation and aerospace research, it’s crucial to understand how low-pressure, high-altitude conditions affect the human body. These studies can help ensure the safety and efficiency of flight and space crew selection and ...
Human breath contains up to a thousand volatile organic compounds that, when analysed, can tell a story about a body’s state of health. These chemical compounds reflect the end processes of metabolic pathways. Patterns of compound peaks form ‘signatures’ when breath is analysed into its components and it is these signatures that allow for disease conditions to be identified. ...
Nafion is a polymer that can add/remove select materials, including water vapor, to a gas stream through a first order kinetic reaction (a chemical reaction). Because it’s non-porous, other molecules cannot pass through it. This unique property makes it ideal for medical applications such as removing water vapor from breath samples or adding humidity to gas samples for therapeutic ...
