In a study led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Levent Beker from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Koç University, researchers ...

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 ...

Background and Aims: The tests that are currently available for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) lack the desired diagnostic accuracy. To date, only pH monitoring has been shown ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

A Bluetooth-enabled flexible sensor patch from RMIT lets doctors and patients see inside a healing wound without lifting the dressing, spotting problems early, and keeping recovery on track. Study: ...

The inside of a living cell is a surprising patchwork of environments. For example, pH levels can vary dramatically in different organelles, despite them being just a couple hundred nanometers apart.
