Detection of Pepsin in the Sputum/Saliva for Diagnosing Atypical Manifestations of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Atypical manifestations of GERD are difficult to diagnose.We aimed to determine whether measurement of pepsin in the sputum/saliva could be useful for diagnosing atypical GERD manifestations. METHODS: Patients with clinically suspected atypical GERD symptoms provided sputum/saliva …

Normwerte aus kombinierten pH-Metrie-Impedanzmessungen zur Diagnostik eines gastroösophagealen Refluxes im Kindesalter : Ergebnisse einer Pilotstudie
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) happens physiologically. When it comes to clinical manifestation of it we call it gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A method for diagnosing GER is the combined pH-metry multiple intraluminal impedancene technique. It visualises any antero- or retrograde bolus …

Development of a real time trimodal spectroscopy diagnostic tool for Barrett's esophagus
… is a condition of the lower esophagus caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients with BE have an increased probability of developing dysplasia, an abnormal growth or development of cells. This dysplasia in BE is a precursor to cancer of the esophagus, but is currently difficult to detect …
