Abstract:
Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease are commonly referred to a gastrointestinal motility unit for assessment of esophageal physiology tests prior to an anti-reflux procedure. On esophageal manometry, most patients have normal peristalsis; however, minor disorders of motility such as ineffective esophageal motility and fragmented peristalsis are not uncommon. Multiple rapid swallow (MRS) test is a provocative method for assessing peristaltic reserve in such patients. We report our single-center experience on MRS testing. ᅟ ᅟ.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
