Potential value of using pH‐impedance monitoring to evaluate for rumination syndrome in children
JPGN Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives pH‐impedance monitoring (pH‐MII) is often used to evaluate severity and type of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The Nakagawa rumination score, which is derived using data from pH‐MII, has been proposed as a metric to diagnose rumination syndrome in adults. However, this approach has not been validated in children. Esophageal

Prevalence of Esophageal Dysmotility and Reflux in Muscle Tension Dysphonia Patients
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) contributes to muscle tension dysphonia (MTD); however, symptoms overlap with esophageal dysmotility. Study aims were to determine the prevalence of esophageal disorders among MTD patients and correlate pathologies to patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs).
