A dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Medicine University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Medicine). Johannesburg and Los Angeles, 1997The aim of this project was to develop an automated system capable of monitoring intraesophageal pressures for prolonged periods of time, and to evaluate the clinical relevance of this system. Stationary esophageal manometry is, at present, the cornerstone of assessing esophageal motor function. it's shortcomings, related to the brevity of the test and the unphysiologic environment in which it is performed, have limited our understanding of esophageal motility abnormalities. The goal of this study was to overcome these shortcomings. The thesis first d...
