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 ...

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, ...

The University of Washington revealed its optical pH-monitoring prototype, tested in a study published February 23 in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering. The prototype uses a low-power light ...
