High-resolution esophageal manometry in patients with achalasia by A. A. Smirnov, M. M. Kiriltseva, M. E. Luybchenko, L. I. Davletbaeva, A. V. Kochetkov

“…In 36 patients of both groups (24.2 %), the manometric data did not correspond to esophageal achalasia; in the prospective group, 12 out of the 19 patients had incorrect manometric data due to inability to visualize lower esophageal sphincter. In the prospective group, the manometric catheter was reinstalled by a guidewire, which allowed visualizing the signs of the lower esophageal sphincter in all cases, and in 15 out of 19 patients (79 %), the integrated relaxation pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter was more than 15 mm Hg.Conclusions. …”

Efficacy of proximity loggers for detection of contacts between maternal pairs of white‐tailed deer by Ryan Walrath, Timothy R. Van Deelen, Kurt C. VerCauteren

“…Estimates of P and V provide estimates of nondetection bias for future studies that use proximity loggers to estimate frequencies of encounters and help quantify the usefulness of this technology relative to visual observation. Management concerns such as chronic wasting disease and bovine tuberculosis could be better understood and addressed by using proximity loggers because they are better able to quantify close contact than conventional methods such as radiotelemetry or Global Positioning System telemetry. © 2011 The Wildlife Society.…”
