چکیده
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common cause of chronic cough. For the diagnosis and treatment of GERD, it is desirable to quantify the temporal correlation between cough and reflux events. Cough episodes can be identified on esophageal manometric recordings as short-duration, rapid pressure rises. The present study aims at facilitating the detection of coughs by proposing an algorithm for the classification of cough events using manometric recordings. The algorithm detects cough episodes based on digital filtering, slope and amplitude analysis, and duration of the event. The algorithm has been tested on in vivo data acquired using a single-channel intra-esophageal manometric probe that comprises a miniature white-light interferometric fiber optic pressure sensor. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of using the proposed algorithm for identifying cough episodes based on real-time recordings using a single channel pressure catheter. The presented work can be integrated with commercial reflux pH/impedance probes to facilitate simultaneous 24-hour ambulatory monitoring of cough and reflux events, with the ultimate goal of quantifying the temporal correlation between the two types of events.

متن کاملThermal flow in the gravitational O(n) model
We study the massless flow from the critical point (dilute loops) to the low-temperature phase (dense loops) of the O(n) loop gas model when the model is coupled to 2D gravity. The flow is generated by the gravitationally dressed thermal operator Φ1,3 coupled to the renormalized loop tension λ ∼ T − Tc. We find that the susceptibility as a function of the thermal coupling λ and the cosmological...
