Abstract

An original technique of basal topographic pH-metry of the stomach, making use of new pH-microtubes, was employed in mass prophylactic check-ups. The suggested method of intragastric pH-metry is superior to the currently used one and may be employed for the screening of subjects who are in need of an x-ray endoscopic examination of the stomach and for outpatient measurements of the gastric pH values, as well as for the choice and monitoring of the pH-regulating therapy.

Assessment of relationship between acid reflux and heartburn using receiver operating characteristic curves.

Arguments proposed in this article may explain why a subgroup of patients, having so-called "functional heartburn," does not respond to acid inhibition therapy [19,20]. It is highly likely that acid is not the cause of heartburn in this group of subjects. These conclusions are supported further by observations of Wiener et al [2] and Howard et al [21], who found that a subgroup of patients with high SI have a negative Bernstein test, which suggests that the presence of acid in the esophagus at the time of spontaneous heartburn may be coincidental and does not reflect a cause-and-effect relationship between the two. The motor events responsible for the occurrence of acid reflux (longitudinal muscle contraction of the esophagus [SEC] associated with transient LES relaxation) may be the cause of heartburn sensation.
