  1. 1. Analysis of Endogenous Particles in Exhaled Air

    Författare :Ann-Charlotte Almstrand; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :exhaled particles; time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry; OPLS; airway closure; exhaled breath condensate; glutathione;

    Sammanfattning : Exhaled air contains non-volatile particulate material from the respiratory tract. The precise location in which exhaled particles are formed is unknown, and details on their chemical content are scarce. The aim of this work was to chemically characterize and to study the mechanisms of formation of endogenous particles in exhaled air. LÄS MER

  3. 2. On the Formation and Physical Behaviour of Exhaled Particles

    Författare :Helene Holmgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; breath hold; size distribution; deposition; relative humidity; tidal breathing; exhaled particles; airway closure; film droplet;

    Sammanfattning : Aerosol particles are generated in human airways and leave the body with exhaled air. The particles originate from the respiratory tract and contain non-volatile compoundsthat potentially may be used as biomarkers for various medical conditions. To utilise any information provided by the particles, they must be characterised. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Fine and Ultrafine Particles from Combustion Sources - Investigations with In-situ Techniques

    Författare :Joakim Pagels; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pollution control; Environmental technology; Teknik; Technological sciences; Indoor Air; In-Situ Measurement; Biomass Combustion; Morphology; Hygroscopic Growth; Volatility; TDMA; APS; ELPI; Respiratory Deposition; Fine Particles; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Ultrafine Particles;

    Sammanfattning : Fine airborne particles are associated with adverse health effects in the human population. The aim of this research was to develop and evaluate methods for in-situ characterisation of fine and ultrafine particles and to determine their deposition in the human airways. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Exploring small airways using breath analyses

    Författare :Emilia Viklund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; exhaled particles; small airways; alveolar nitric oxide; SARS-CoV-2; birch pollen; smoking; lining fluid;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Airway irritants such as allergens, tobacco smoke and viruses may cause damage in the small airways, usually undetected with routine diagnostic methods. Analyses of endogenously produced nitric oxide (NO) and endogenously produced small droplets (i.e. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Oropharyngeal origin of markers in exhaled breath

    Författare :Helena Marteus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Exhaled nitric oxide; exhaled breath condensate; saliva; nitrite; nitrate; ammonia; pH; bacteria;

    Sammanfattning : Normal NO formation in the human airways occurs primarily in the nasal airways, where it is catalyzed by inducible NO synthase (iNOS), and in the oropharyngeal tract, via as yet not fully defined pathways. This NO can be detected in exhaled breath and when inflammation is present in the airways, for example in asthma, the concentration of NO is increased. LÄS MER
