Is a low sacral ratio associated with primary vesicoureteral reflux in children? [PDF]
Introduction: The association of sacral anomalies with fecal incontinence and lower urinary tract dysfunction is known. The sacral ratio is proposed as a tool for evaluation of sacral development. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the prevalence and severity of vesicoureteral reflux in children with a low sacral ratio.\ud \ud ...

Correlation of Sacral Ratio and Reflux-Related Renal Injury in Children with Vesicoureteral reflux with and without Nephropathy [PDF]
Introduction: Vesicoureteral reflux refers to the retrograde flow of the urine from the bladder to the ureter and kidney. The ureteral attachment to the bladder is normally oblique, between the bladder mucosa and detrusor muscle, creating a flap-value mechanism that prevents reflux.

Diagnostic value of reflux episodes in gastroesophageal reflux-induced chronic cough: a novel predictive indicator [PDF]
Background: Multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH-monitoring (MII-pH) is an essential testing modality for gastroesophageal reflux-induced chronic cough (GERC), while the existing diagnostic criteria still have some inherent defects.

Effect of reflux ratio on COD and nitrogen removals from coke plant wastewaters
A laboratory-scale anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic-moving bed biofilm reactor (A1-A2-O-MBBR) system was undertaken to treat coke plant wastewaters from two different factories (wastewater A and B). Wastewater B had higher BOD5/COD ratio and COD/TN ratio than wastewater A. The effects of reflux ratios on COD, TN and NH3-N removals were studied.

Calculation of the minimum reflux ratio for various cases of rectification of binary mixtures [PDF]
The methods of calculation of the minimum reflux ratio for actual binary mixtures with the possibility of formation of the pinch modes was considered. It is proved that in the presence of the pinch mode in the product-concentrating column the value of ...

Whey- vs Casein-Based Enteral Formula and Gastrointestinal Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy. [PDF]
Objectives: Children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) commonly have gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. Whey-based enteral formulas have been postulated to reduce gastroesophageal reflux (GOR) and accelerate gastric emptying (GE).
