Primary outcomes

  1. Exhaled breath pattern

    Time frame: baseline

    mass spectrometric profile of exhaled breath pattern of human subjects

Secondary outcomes

  1. Chemical structure of exhaled breath molecules

    Time frame: baseline

    The identification of the chemical structure of exhaled breath molecules

  2. Body fluids

    Time frame: baseline

    The correlations of identified molecules in exhaled breath with body fluids

  3. Disease marker

    Time frame: baseline

    The correlation of a distinct disease marker with a breath print or breath feature

  4. Distinguish between disease

    Time frame: baseline

    The use of a breath print to distinguish between disease and/or health state

  5. Health state

    Time frame: baseline

    The correlation of breath prints to subjective health state and/or quality of life

  6. Medication

    Time frame: baseline

    Response to medication and toxicity as a function of blood/breath drug concentrations

  7. Excretion of drugs

    Time frame: baseline

    Correlation between lung function and the excretion of drugs in exhaled breath
