Rapid and Accurate Pressure Sensing Device for Direct Measurement of Intraocular Pressure. [PDF]
, 2020 PurposeIntraocular pressure (IOP) is the primary modifiable risk factor for glaucoma. Current devices measure IOP via the dynamic response of the healthy cornea and do not provide the accurate IOP measurements for patients with altered corneal ...

VALIDATION OF A NEW WATER-PERFUSED HIGH-RESOLUTION MANOMETRY SYSTEM
ABCD: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cirurgia DigestivaBackground: High-resolution manometry is more costly but clinically superior to conventional manometry. Water-perfused systems may decrease costs, but it is unclear if they are as reliable as solid-state systems, and reference values are interchangeable.

Quantitative assessment of multichannel intraluminal impedance pH and its clinical implications
Physiological Reports, 2022 We sought to quantify the characteristics of acid reflux episodes in patients with extraesophageal GERD symptoms (EES), hiatal hernia (HH), and erosive esophagitis (EroE) using multichannel intraluminal impedance pH (MII‐pH) and investigate the ...
