Logoped Phoniatr Vocol 31:57-60. 2006..The present results do not confirm increased prevalence for H. pylori infection in contact granuloma patients and the occurrence of H. pylori infection was not correlated to the amount of pharyngeal or esophageal acid exposure...

Clin Otolaryngol Allied Sci 29:47-50. 2004..The single finding of pseudosulcus is not a very sensitive predictor of pharyngeal reflux but if the patient has laryngeal symptoms and a pseudsulcus, the probability that the patient has pharyngeal reflux is almost 70%...

Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Goteborg, Sweden
Scand J Gastroenterol 41:138-43. 2006..The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of pharyngeal pH 5 reflux episodes in healthy controls and to correlate these to the pH monitoring results with a cut-off limit of pH 4...
