Otolaryngological complications of hypopharyngeal‐esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance‐pH monitoring

MULTICHANNEL INTRALUMINAL IMPEDANCE AND pH.

Malignant infantile osteopetrosis: otolaryngological complications and management.

OBJECTIVES To inform otolaryngologists about upper airway obstruction requiring tracheotomy and other otolaryngological manifestations of malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIOP) and to discuss pathophysiological features, management, and new treatment strategies in MIOP. DESIGN Ongoing case series combined with a retrospective chart review. SETTING International tertiary pediatric hospital...

Esophageal function testing using multichannel intraluminal impedance.

Multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) is a new technique for evaluation of bolus transport. We evaluated esophageal function using bolus transport time (BTT) and contraction wave velocity (CWV) of liquid, semisolid, and solid boluses. Ten healthy subjects underwent MII swallow evaluation with various boluses of sterile water (pH 5), applesauce, three different sized marshmallows, and iced a...

Critical Analysis of Esophageal Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance Monitoring 20 Years Later

Multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) for the evaluation of esophageal diseases was created in 1991 trying to solve previous limitations of esophageal function test. MII-pH is able to determine the physical characteristics of the refluxate (liquid, gas, or mixed) and nonacidic GER. MII-manometry can determine the presence of bolus and its relation with peristalsis. This paper makes a critic...
