Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) was among the most discussed issues at April's worldwide Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meeting (COSM) in San Diego. The only medical device designed to detect LPR, the Restech Dx-pH Measurement System™ was featured in a comparative study presented during a poster session of the American Bronchoesophagological Association (ABEA) by the Emory University Voice Center.
Justin Golub, M.D., Michael Johns, III, M.D., John DelGaudio, M.D., and Adam Klein, M.D. displayed the poster "Preliminary Comparison of an Oropharyngeal pH Probe and a Traditional Dual Channel Probe for Diagnosis of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux."
Dr. Golub presented the preliminary study findings and answered questions at COSM on Friday, April 27, posed by Otolaryngologists from around the world. The head of Emory's Voice Center, Dr. Michael Johns, III, summarized his experience with the device and the preliminary outcome of the study:
"Initial data using the oropharyngeal pH probe are promising. There was a high correlation to acid reflux events above the upper esophageal sphincter as measured by a traditional probe, and patient comfort and tolerance were much higher."
The study commenced in early 2006 after Emory researchers were granted funds from AstraZeneca through their Investigator Initiated Research program. The overall study will include sixty-five patients whose laryngopharyngeal reflux activity will be monitored with the Dx-System for a period of twenty-four hours. Through this study, the researchers hope to further establish the value of the Dx-pH Measurement System as a diagnostic modality for LPR.
Restech's Dx-pH Measurement System is a promising device for Otolaryngology practice due to the absence of a specific test for LPR. While current technology has been useful for diagnosing esophageal reflux, it is incapable of measuring aerosolized supraesophageal reflux, which can have deleterious effects on the very sensitive laryngeal tissue.
Restech is a leader in developing world-class medical technologies assisting physicians in the diagnosis of reflux related health problems. For more information on the Dx-pH Measurement System, please contact Debra Krahel or Justin Berg at (800) 352-1512 or visit www.restech-corp.com.

Dx–pH Measurement System™ FAQs
What is the purpose of this test? What valuable information or statistics can I procure and use to treat my patients?
The information provided by the Dx—pH Measurement System™ is important in determining the impact of laryngopharyngeal reflux on your patient’s symptoms. This test provides a graphical representation of the pH activity over a 24 or 48-hour study. This data is valuable as it relays information about your patient’s reflux patterns in a clear fashion. Some ask why this is better than laryngoscopy. With a laryngoscopy, the observer can evaluate the severity of the damage the tissue sustained, but cannot determine whether it is the result of reflux, vocal strain, coughing or another source and when it occurs.

今年四月份，全世界耳鼻咽喉科学春季联合会议在圣地亚哥召开。咽喉的胃食管反流性疾病是这次会议上最热点的讨论问题之一。呼吸技术PH值诊断测量系统是为检测咽喉的胃食管反流性疾病设计的唯一的医学检测装置。美国支气管食管病学协会在会议期间的宣传资料上刊登了由爱墨尔大学嗓音中心所做的呼吸技术PH值诊断测量系统的对照试验研究，该系统与传统检测系统相比较具有许多新的特点。

Justin Golub医学博士、Michael Johns, III医学博士、John DelGaudio医学博士和Adam Klein医学博士展示了这份宣传资料――“口咽部pH值检测与传统的双通道检测诊断咽喉部胃食管反流性疾病的前期对照研究”。
