Background Many volatile organic compounds (VOCs), principally alkanes and benzene
derivatives, have been identified in breath from patients with lung cancer. We investigated …

We studied the variation in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the breath of 50 normal
humans, using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. An average breath sample …

Pulmonary tuberculosis may alter volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath because
Mycobacteria and oxidative stress resulting from Mycobacterial infection both generate …

Breast cancer is accompanied by increased oxidative stress and induction of polymorphic
cytochrome P‐450 mixed oxidase enzymes (CYP). Both processes affect the abundance of …

Background: Normal metabolism generates several volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
that are excreted in the breath (eg alkanes). In patients with lung cancer, induction of high-risk …

… Natividad recruited patients and collated data at the clinical research sites, Renee N Cataneo
analyzed the samples in the laboratory, and Peter Schmitt, and James Wai analyzed the …

BACKGROUND: A combination of biomarkers in a multivariate model may predict disease
with greater accuracy than a single biomarker employed alone. We developed a non-linear …

Background: Oxidative stress has been implicated in the major complications of diabetes
mellitus, including retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and accelerated coronary artery …

We evaluated a breath test for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a predictor of breast
cancer. Breath VOCs were assayed in 51 asymptomatic women with abnormal mammograms …
