Presentation and Epidemiology of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorder in the United States, and leads to substantial morbidity, though associated mortality is rare. The prevalence of GERD symptoms appeared to increase until 1999.

The effect of dietary intake, physical activity and posture on pepsin concentrations detected in the saliva of free-living, healthy individuals [PDF]
Introduction: Diet and lifestyle are believed to be major causes of gastric reflux. The occurrence of reflux is associated with a number of respiratory, oesophageal and airways conditions.

The Cough Reflex: The Janus of Respiratory Medicine
In clinical practice, we commonly face adversity when encountering dysfunction of the cough reflex. Similar to ancient Roman deity Janus, it often presents with one of two opposing “faces”. Continual aberrant activation of the cough reflex, also known as

Generalised model for heteroazeotropic batch distillation with variable decanter hold-up [PDF]
A general model of batch heteroazeotropic distillation is proposed. Both liquid phases present in the decanter can be refluxed or withdrawn as distillate, their hold-up can be increased, decreased or kept constant, as well. By assuming maximal separation,
