| Abstract | Esophageal motility disorders are diagnosed by monitoring pressure, pH, and bolus transit in the lumen of the organ. However, an integrated multichannel esophageal catheter capable of monitoring all these phenomena in a single clinical test is still lacking. The present work proposes innovative techniques and methods to develop a multichannel integrated esophageal catheter. A novel optical pressure sensor for lower esophageal sphincter location and pressure monitoring is proposed. Proper selection of frequencies and electrode arrangement allows impedance-based monitoring of pH and bolus transit. Moreover, due to the small size of the proposed impedance electrode configuration, monitoring channels can be located at 3-mm intervals, improving the longitudinal resolution of the catheter. Therefore, impedance-based pH level monitoring is now feasible. The proposed optical method for pressure monitoring was evaluated by applying pressure around the designed sensor. Obtained images showed good correlation with applied pressures. A model of the esophagus that mimics esophageal motility was utilized to test the proposed catheter. Repeatability of the impedance measurements related to pH was evaluated. The obtained results satisfied the requirements of the DeMeester and Johnson scoring system for esophageal pH measurements. Gastro-esophageal reflux was simulated in the test model and successfully measured with a spatial resolution of 3-mm. Bolus transit was also simulated and successfully identified. All experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed design. This innovative catheter overcomes many of the disadvantages of the conventional techniques for esophageal testing, but clinical trials are necessary to verify the validity of the laboratory results |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
