Early disease diagnosis is crucial for human healthcare and successful therapy. Since any
changes in homeostatic balance can alter human emanations, the components of breath …

Distinct changes can be observed in the odor of human excretions during health and
disease. Identifying underlying volatile metabolites responsible for these odorous changes …

Abstract Introduction Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can arise from underlying
metabolism and are detectable in exhaled breath, therefore offer a promising route to non …

The investigation of a novel, cheaper method of diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD) is an area of active research. Recently, investigations into the metabolomic profile of …

A new and simple analytical approach consisting of an automated headspace solid-phase
microextraction (HS-SPME) sampler coupled to gas chromatography-ion trap/mass …

The human body secretes a complex blend of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) via the
skin, breath and bodily fluids, the study of which can provide valuable insight into the …

The fecal metabolome in early life has seldom been studied. We investigated its evolution in
pre-term babies during their first weeks of life. Multiple (n= 152) stool samples were studied …

Introduction VOCs can be utilised as non invasive biomarkers for gastrointestinal diseases
such as IBD, as changes in VOCs reflect internal metabolical and pathological processes …

The analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a non-invasive method for disease
monitoring, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) has shown potential over the years although not …

In recent years, feces has surfaced as the matrix of choice for investigating the gut
microbiome-health axis because of its non-invasive sampling and the unique reflection it …
