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 ...

Background and Aims: The tests that are currently available for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) lack the desired diagnostic accuracy. To date, only pH monitoring has been shown ...

Advances in sensor materials and optoelectronics have enabled novel optical sensors for applications in life sciences, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and more. Compared with electrochemical sensing ...

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 ...

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a common disorder in which a backwash of gastric juices into the oesophagus leads to inflammation and pain. Symptoms include heartburn, belching and ...

Novel fibre optic chemical sensors are non-intrusive, provide real-time monitoring. Advances in high-performance sensor materials and optoelectronics have enabled novel optical sensors for use in ...

Chemists in South Korea have created a stable color-changing sensor that displays an easily quantifiable response to the pH of its surroundings. Published in Microsystems & Nanoengineering, Dong-Hwan ...
