Esophageal pH monitoring is performed for 24 or 48 hours and at the end of recording, a patient's tracing is analyzed and the results are expressed using six standard components. Of these 6 parameters, a pH score called Composite pH Score or DeMeester Score has been calculated, which is a global measure of esophageal acid exposure.
Impedance–pH monitoring is a technique used in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), by monitoring both impedance and pH. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Patients with ongoing symptoms while on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy are commonly diagnosed with impedance–pH monitoring while continuing their medications.

The concept of pH was defined in 1909 by S. P. L. Sørensen, and electrodes were used for pH measurement in the 1920s. [24] In October 1934, Arnold Orville Beckman registered the first patent for a complete chemical instrument for the measurement of pH, U.S. Patent No. 2,058,761, for his "acidimeter", later renamed the pH meter.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Clinical biochemistry blood tests | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Clinical biochemistry blood tests | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
2 emissions are measured in pounds per hour using both an SO 2 pollutant concentration monitor and a volumetric flow monitor. For NO x, both a NO x pollutant concentration monitor and a diluent gas monitor are used to determine the emissions rate in weight per volume or weight per heat value (for example lbs/million Btu, lbs/ft 3, kg/kWh or kg ...
An EMS is typically done to evaluate suspected disorders of motility or peristalsis of the esophagus.These include achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, nutcracker esophagus and hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter.
The biological monitoring working party (BMWP) is a procedure for measuring water quality using families of macroinvertebrates as biological indicators. [ 1 ] The method is based on the principle that different aquatic invertebrates have different tolerances to pollutants .
