Background: The detection of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) has to date been limited to
acid exposure observed on 24-h pH monitoring. It is clear, however that nonacid reflux can …

Background: Esophageal manometry is mandatory for localization of lower esophageal
sphincter (LES) in patients undergoing ambulatory esophageal pH-metry for proper …

It is neither practical nor necessary to initiate a diagnostic evaluation of every patient with
symptoms of GERD. Management, by and large, is focused on empiric therapy, with lifestyle …

OBJECTIVES: A novel catheter that can measure mucosal admittance (MA), the inverse of
impedance, was developed recently. In this pilot study, we aimed to clarify the usefulness of …

Background: Combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH-metry (MII-pH) is a
technique that enables monitoring of gastroesophageal reflux independent of its acidity …

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease with increasing prevalence
worldwide. However, the diagnosis of GERD is challenging because there are no definite …

Background Combining impedance with pH monitoring improves the detection and
characterization of gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR), yet the two modalities frequently differ …

ENT symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux are frequent. pH-impedance can detect acid and
non-acid reflux and measure their proximal extension. The technique identifies the refluxate …

Many people suffer from gastric or gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) due to a
malfunction of the cardia, the valve between the esophagus and the stomach. GERD is a …
