Understanding the Contents of Exhaled Breath in Health and Disease

Overview

About this study

This research study is being done because we want to better understand the composition of exhaled breath and exhaled breath condensate in health and disease and at different stages of disease to determine if there are markers in this easy to collect sample that can help us understand disease progression and give earlier warning that health or disease status is declining and improve treatment for patients.
