Technical aspects of intraluminal pH-metry in man: current status and recommendations.

[Multichannel intraluminal impedance associated with pH-metry in the study of gastroesophageal reflux disease].

Multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH-metry for investigation of symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease.

BACKGROUND Combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH-metry (MII-pH) is a technique that enables monitoring of gastroesophageal reflux independent of its acidity. AIM To investigate the utility of MII-pH in the clinical investigation of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. METHODS 32 consecutive patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory MII-pH. 16 patients wer...

Gastroesophageal reflux evaluation in patients affected by chronic cough: Restech versus multichannel intraluminal impedance/pH metry.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Oropharyngeal (OP) pH monitoring has been developed to detect supra-esophageal gastric reflux (SEGR). The results obtained with OP pH-metry and multichannel intraluminal impedance/pH monitoring (MII/pH) were compared. STUDY DESIGN Diagnostic study. METHODS Ten patients (age 46.33 ± 9.86 years) presenting with chronic coughing underwent simultaneous OP and MII/pH record...

Technical Aspects of Roomba Pac-Man

Robotics can be seen as a field of computer science still in its infancy. In recent years there has been a tremendous explosion in innovation, both in hardware and software. The dynamic nature of robotics as well as the necessity for physical hardware presents a unique challenge for those wishing to educate the next generation of roboticists. This paper presents the technical aspects of Brown U...

Chronic Cough and Dental Erosions in a Child with Gastroesophageal Reflux Evaluated by Ph‐metry Associated with Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance

The clinical manifestations of the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are multiple and heterogeneous, differing according to age and individual susceptibility. The relationship between respiratory manifestations and the gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in children is a contro‐ versial topic on: proving or refuting either cause or effect, with special stress on the most important symptom – coug...
