    摘要: Disclosed is a device for determination of the content of higher oxides of nitrogen in exhaled breath condensate which comprises a conduit (7) having an exhaling condensing portion with an inlet and an outlet (the inlet can be configured to fit with a mechanical respirator, or for direct use by a patient, an inlet assembly providing one-way ingress (2) of ambient atmosphere so the device can be associated with the inlet of the conduit exhaling condensing portion); a coolant jacket (6) coaxially surrounding said exhaling condensing portion; a gas release port; and, in an enclosed fluid communication with said conduit exhaling condensing portion outlet, a sample assay assembly (9) comprising the following: (a) a translucent analysis chamber attached to the outlet to receive condensate fluid and having a reagent port; (b) a reagent chamber in enclosed fluid communication with the reagent entry port; and (c) a pliable element connecting the oulet and the analysis chamber and forming a portion of the reagent chamber such that flexion of the pliable element closes communication between the oulet and the analysis chamber and contracts the reagent chamber so as to deliver to the analysis chamber controlled amounts of condensate and reagent. The device is disposable and inexpensive, and is used to collect human exhaling for colorimetric assay of liquid and gas phase nitrogen oxides to assist in evaluation of airway inflammation.

    摘要: A three-dimensional engineered shaped fiber configuration is formed using determined structural requirements for a three-dimensional engineered shaped fiber configuration and ascertained properties of an engineered molded fiber fiberboard material. A first cut on a top surface and a second cut on a bottom surface of the fiberboard material are calculated. These calculations are based, at least in part, on the structural requirements properties of the fiberboard material. The first cut and the second cut each have a depth, a width, and a position. The first cut and the second cut have a spacing between them such that the flat piece of fiberboard material can be folded at a point located in the spacing between the first cut and second cut to position a first portion of the fiberboard material at a particular angle with respect to a second portion of the fiberboard material.

    摘要: A device and method for non-invasively monitoring asthma and other respiratory and non-respiratory diseases. The method includes collecting condensate from a subject's breath, testing the condensate to determine its acetic acid/acetate level or concentration, and evaluating these properties to determine the presence, absence or status of a respiratory or non-respiratory disease in the subject. The method may also include, before the testing step, standardizing the volatile substances that may be present in the condensate in a degassing or gas standardizing step. The device (10) includes a mouthpiece apparatus (20) for receiving a subject's breath, a condensation apparatus (60) to condense the subject's breath and produce a condensate, and a collection apparatus (100) having a collection chamber (102) containing means (116) for testing the condensate to determine the acetic acid or acetate concentration. The device may also include a system (150) for removing or standardizing the volatile substances that may be present with the condensate.

    摘要: A device (10) and method for non-invasively monitoring asthma and other respiratory diseases. The method includes collecting condensate from a subject's breath, testing the condensate to determine its acidity level or ammonium concentration, and evaluating these properties to determine the presence, absence or status of a respiratory disease in the subject. The method may also include, prior to the testing step, standardizing the volatile substances that may be present within the condensate in a degassing or gas standardizing step. The device (10) includes a mouthpiece apparatus (20) configured to receive breath from a subject, a condensation apparatus (60) to condense the subject's breath and produce a condensate, and a collection apparatus (100) having a collection chamber (102) containing means for testing the condensate to determine its chemical properties. The device (10) also include a system for removing or standardizing the volatile substances that may be present with the condensate.
