Exhaled breath condensate in patients with asthma: implications for application in clinical practice
Kostikas, K.; Koutsokera, A.; Papiris, S.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Loukides, S. (2008)Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) analysis, a rather appealing and promising method, can be used to evaluate conveniently and non-invasively a wide range of molecules from the respiratory tract, and to understand better the ... -
Exhaled breath condensate pH as a biomarker of COPD severity in ex-smokers
Papaioannou, A. I.; Loukides, S.; Minas, M.; Kontogianni, K.; Bakakos, P.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Alchanatis, M.; Papiris, S.; Kostikas, K. (2011)Endogenous airway acidification, as assessed by exhaled breath condensate (EBC) pH, is present in patients with stable COPD. The aim of this study was to measure EBC pH levels in a large cohort of COPD patients and to ... -
Exhaled Nitric Oxide in Asthma in Adults: The End is the Beginning?
Kostikas, K.; Minas, M.; Papaioannou, A. I.; Papiris, S.; Dweik, R. A. (2011)Approximately 20 years after the initial report of the measurement of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) in the exhaled air of humans, numerous publications have evaluated the possible applications of the fraction of exhaled NO ... -
Exhaled NO and exhaled breath condensate pH in the evaluation of asthma control
Kostikas, K.; Papaioannou, A. I.; Tanou, K.; Giouleka, P.; Koutsokera, A.; Minas, M.; Papiris, S.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Taylor, D. R.; Loukides, S. (2011)Background: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airways disorder. However, no biomarker of airways inflammation has been included in the assessment of asthma control. Objective: To evaluate exhaled NO (FeNO) and exhaled breath ...
