Advances in sensor materials and optoelectronics have enabled novel optical sensors for applications in life sciences, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and more. Compared with electrochemical sensing ...

Background and Aims: The tests that are currently available for the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) lack the desired diagnostic accuracy. To date, only pH monitoring has been shown ...

Ambulatory 24 h esophageal pH monitoring enables quantification of esophageal acid exposure and assessment of the temporal relationship between symptoms and acid reflux events. Analysis of pH ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Inside a wound, a complex chemical battle unfolds. As healing progresses, the wound environment shifts between acidic and basic states, each change signaling different stages of ...

In a recent study published in Scientific Advances, researchers created a bioresorbable, cordless, passive sensor that monitors pH locally and detects stomach leakage early on. Study: Bioresorbable, ...

The pH scale is used to measure the acidity of a fluid. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral, whereas a pH result below 7 is acidic and above 7 is alkaline. Urine has the widest ...

How Important is pH in Battery Chemistry and Research? pH is an important chemical parameter that influences the synthesis and characteristics of battery materials, particularly cathode active ...

The incidence of GERD is on the rise, particularly in Asia. [24] Along with the increasing incidence of this disease, newer endoscopic and laparoscopic surgical techniques are also emerging for its ...
