Journal of Breath Research latest papers http://stacks.iop.org/1752-7163 We cover research into use of breath science for diagnosing and monitoring systemic health, lung- and oesophageal cancer, lung and bronchial disease and infection, monitoring alcohol intake, detecting exposure to smoke and to workplace and home contaminants, diagnosing and treating halitosis and oral diseases, testing physiological aspects of breathing and respiration (oxygenation, carbon dioxide, moisture, capacity, rate), testing for oxidative stress and psychological stress and anxiety, identifying sleep apnoea and investigating acid reflux cough. A focus will be on isotopic labelling (e.g. 13C-labelling) of substances that lead to better understanding of production and transport of volatile substances within the body, including their production by gut bacteria, and the subsequent excretion in breath and emission from urine and faeces. en-gb Copyright © IOP Publishing 2009 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT http://syndication.iop.org/about/ custserv@iop.org (Customer Services) Journal of Breath Research http://images.iop.org/website-logos/ejs_logo.png http://stacks.iop.org/ Methodology investigation of expirograms for enabling contact free breath alcohol analysis http://stacks.iop.org/1752-7163/3/i=3/a=036002?rss=2.0 Author(s): A Jonsson, B Hok, L Andersson and G Hedenstierna<br>Affiliation(s): Hok Instrument AB, Vasteras, Sweden; School of Innovation, Design, and Engineering, Malardalen University, Vasteras, Sweden; Elpako, Uppsala, Sweden; Department of Medical Sciences, Clinical Physiology, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden Tue, 16 Jun 2009 23:00:00 GMT Recent advances in the interpretation of the 13C octanoate breath test for gastric emptying http://stacks.iop.org/1752-7163/3/i=3/a=034002?rss=2.0 Author(s): L J C Bluck<br>Affiliation(s): MRC Human Nutrition Research, Elsie Widdowson Laboratory, Fulbourn Rd, Cambridge, CB1 9NL, UK Thu, 04 Jun 2009 23:00:00 GMT Concentrations of some metabolites in the breath of healthy children aged 7–18 years measured using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) http://stacks.iop.org/1752-7163/3/i=3/a=036001?rss=2.0 Author(s): B Enderby, W Lenney, M Brady, C Emmett, P Spanel and D Smith<br>Affiliation(s): Academic Department of Paediatrics, The University Hospital of North Staffordshire, Newcastle Road, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 6QG, UK; Institute for Science and Technology in Medicine, School of Medicine, Keele University, Thornburrow Drive, Hartshill, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 7QB, UK; J.
