The field of diagnostics using invasive blood testing represents the majority of diagnostic
tests used as part of routine health monitoring. The relatively recent introduction of salivary …

Saliva is a very complex fluid and it is essential to maintain several physiological processes
and functions, including oral health, taste, digestion and immunological defenses. Saliva …

Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of salivary pepsin
with oropharyngeal pH monitoring using the Restech measurement system (Dx‐pH) for the …

Salivary pepsin has been proposed as a promising diagnostic marker for gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD). However, the activity of human pepsin is strongly influenced by pH …

Objectives To assess whether salivary urea and creatinine levels accurately reflect their
serum levels in blood samples of adults to detect chronic kidney disease. Materials and …

Background The diagnosis of gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on
otolaryngologist's assessment of laryngoscopic findings remains contentious in terms of …

Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is very common. Salivary pepsin
detection has previously been considered as a method for GERD diagnosis. We performed …

Background Laryngopharyngeal reflux has classically referred to gastroesophageal reflux
leading to chronic laryngeal symptoms such as throat clearing, dysphonia, cough, globus …

Background Diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be challenging given
varying symptom presentations, and complex multifactorial pathophysiology. The gold …

Saliva is a complex physiologic fluid that contains an abundance of biological analytes, or
biomarkers. Recent research has shown that these biomarkers may be able to convey the …
