Description

Breathborne biomarkers carry information on the state of human health, and their role in aiding clinical diagnosis or in therapeutic monitoring has become increasingly important as advances in the field are made. Breathborne Biomarkers and the Human Volatilome, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive update and reworking of the 2013 book Volatile Biomarkers, by Anton Amann and David Smith. The new editing team has expanded this edition beyond volatile organic compounds to cover the broad field of breath analysis, including the many exciting developments that have occurred since the first edition was published. This thoroughly revised volume includes the latest discoveries and applications in breath research from the world's foremost scientists, and offers insights into related future developments. It is an ideal resource for researchers, scientists, and clinicians with an interest in breath analysis.

Key Features

  • Presents recent advances in the field of breath analysis
  • Includes an extensive overview of established biomarkers, detection tools, disease targets, specific applications, data analytics, and study design
  • Offers a broad treatise of each topic, from basic concepts to a comprehensive review of discoveries, current consensus of understanding, and prospective future developments
  • Acts as both a primer for beginners and a reference for seasoned researchers

Readership

Chemists, biochemists, cell biologists, physiologists, and clinicians with an interest in breath analysis; developers and suppliers of analytical instrumentation suitable for breath analysis, researchers in metabolomics and volatolomics
