The current standard method for detection of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in infants and children is pH monitoring (pH probe). The addition of impedance probe measurements may or may not increase the ...

Objective: To monitor gastric acidity and esophageal reflux pattern simultaneous with a dual-pH probe in order to see whether pathological gastro esophageal reflux (GER), defined as esophageal reflux ...

feeding tube, cerebral palsy Investigators analyzed the agreement among pH paper, hand-held pH meters, and laboratory pH meters for gastric pH measurements in tube-fed children with neurological ...

Conventional, catheter-based methods for monitoring esophageal and gastric pH can be uncomfortable, conspicuous, and limited in their ability to monitor pH for a long period of time. The Bravo ...

The incidence of GERD is on the rise, particularly in Asia. [24] Along with the increasing incidence of this disease, newer endoscopic and laparoscopic surgical techniques are also emerging for its ...

Sweat, which contains a wide range of biochemical markers, can tell us a lot about our health. Variations in sweat pH (i.e. acidity or alkalinity), for instance, can tell us whether our body is ...

In a recent study published in Scientific Advances, researchers created a bioresorbable, cordless, passive sensor that monitors pH locally and detects stomach leakage early on. Study: Bioresorbable, ...

Given Imaging Ltd., a company focused in developing and marketing patient-friendly solutions for visualizing and detecting disorders of the GI tract, revealed that the U.S. Food and Drug ...

The inside of a living cell is a surprising patchwork of environments. For example, pH levels can vary dramatically in different organelles, despite them being just a couple hundred nanometers apart.
