    摘要: The present invention provides compositions and methods useful in the diagnosis and management of Gastroesophageal Reflux. Specifically, the inventions provide a device and methods of using the device for accurately, quantitatively, and non-invasively diagnosing Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in both patients at risk for GERD and patients demonstrating reflux-like symptoms. In particular, the inventions relate to detecting and analyzing upward esophageal movements in patients, such as human infants, children, and adults.

    摘要: A method of diagnosing respiratory fluid in a patient suffering from gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is disclosed. The method comprises (1) orally administering to a subject suspected of suffering from gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD), a formulation comprised of a plurality of particles comprised of a biocompatible polymer (e.g. carnauba wax) and a detectable, non-radioactive label (e.g. a fluorescent label), (2) allowing the formulation to remain in the subject over a period of time during which the subject would be expected to aspirate the formulation, (3) collecting respiratory fluid from the subject, and (4) analyzing the respiratory fluid to determine if the fluid contains the detectable label, and thereby determining if the subject regurgitates fluid into the respiratory tract. Alternatively, or additionally, a subject swallows a label that is not destroyed in the respiratory tract, or in the gastrointestinal tract, which further has the property that it is absorbed from the respiratory tract but not from the gastrointestinal tract. The presence of the label is then analyzed in blood, or, if the substance is excreted from blood to urine, in urine samples. The qualitative analysis can be also expanded into quantitative analysis, enabling the estimation of either the concentration, or the amount, or both, of the gastrointestinal contents that entered the respiratory tract.

    摘要: An ambulatory system for recording and analyzing gastroesophageal reflux is presented. The system comprises a digital recorder, an analysis software package and a catheter for measurement of changes in esophageal impedance. For the first time, gastroesophageal reflux can be detected with a pH above 4 (called alkaline reflux), which is the normal pH environment of the healthy esophagus. In addition, one embodiment of the invention allows for the determination of the direction of flow of the detected material in the esophagus, thus enabling the system to distinguish between swallowed saliva and alkaline gastroesophageal reflux. In yet a further embodiment, the present invention allows for recording and analysis of reflux on a non-invasive basis, by using pairs of externally worn impedance sensors. In another embodiment, the invention measures impedance simultaneously with other bio-parameters, such as pH or pressure.
