Characterization of Experimental and Clinical Bioaerosol Generation During Potential Aerosol-Generating Procedures.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Exhaled breath temperature (EBT) is a new noninvasive method for the study of inflammatory respiratory diseases with a potential to reach clinical practice. However, few studies are available regarding the validation of this method, and they were mainly derived from small, pediatric populations; thus, the ra...
