Summary This book describes how the analysis of the trace gases in exhaled breath can be used for non-invasive clinical diagnosis of disease and for monitoring the effectiveness of therapy. This approach offers an important addition to the diagnostic techniques available to medicine, having the advantage that on-line breath analysis can provide information to the clinician immediately and thus facilitate rapid diagnosis and treatment. The book is a compilation of contributions to a conference held in Dornbirn, Austria, 23-26 September 2004 on various aspects of this new topic. Written by the foremost workers in the field, it will provide clinicians and others in the medical fraternity with an up-to-date summary of the status of the subject. The wide scope of the chapters ranges from descriptions of the analytical methods that are available, through the use of breath analysis in the study of physiological phenomena, to the identification of biomarkers of particular injury and disease
Notes "This book is a compilation of review papers and original research papers written by authorities in the field of breath analysis that are based on their presentations at the conference 'Breath Gas Analysis for Medical Diagnostics' held at the University of Applied Sciences in Dornbirn, Austria, during September 23rd to 26th, 2004, organised by Anton Amann and Marco Freek with support from Oskar Müller and Karl Unterkofler."--Foreword
