Abstract
In 1883 Kronecker and Meltzer reported on their studies of the physiology of the esophagus. They had measured intraluminal pressures by means of an intra-esophageal balloon. Although their studies were quite remarkable, the presence of the balloon, filled with water or air, was a constant stimulus to swallowing; therefore, it was difficult for the investigators to measure resting pressures within the esophagus.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology publishes original manuscripts of clinical and research importance in otolaryngology–head and neck medicine and surgery, otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, head and neck oncology and surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, pediatric otolaryngology, audiology, and speech pathology. In-depth studies (supplements), papers of historical interest, and reviews of computer software and applications in otolaryngology are also published, as well as imaging, pathology, and clinicopathology studies, book reviews, and letters to the editor. AOR is the official journal of the American Broncho-Esophagological Association.
