Laryngopharyngeal reflux, sometimes called silent reflux is similar to GERD, but the symptoms are different. At either end of the esophagus there are 2 sphincters, with Laryngopharyngeal reflux, these 2 muscles that keep the contents of the stomach in, are loose, so stomach content backs up into your larnyx, or nose.

What is the use of reflux drum in distillation column equipment?
Application: Large-scale distillation towers use a reflux system to achieve a more complete product separation. Reflux is that portion of a tower's condensed overhead liquid product that is cycled back to the top of the tower where it flows downward to provide cooling and condensation of the upflowing vapors.Challenge: The reflux drum, or accumulator, serves as a distribution point for reflux and distillate. Condensed liquid leaves the reflux drum under level control. Drum level control is critical to ensure that the proper amount of reflux will return to the distillation tower. Poor liquid level indication can cause expensive operating problems and product degradation.
What is the optimum reflux ratio?
The optimum reflux ratio depends on the specific distillation process and desired outcomes. Generally, it is determined experimentally based on factors such as the desired purity of the distillate and energy efficiency. A higher reflux ratio typically results in higher purity but also requires more energy.
What is the relationship between reflux temperature and the efficiency of a distillation process?
The relationship between reflux temperature and distillation efficiency is that a higher reflux temperature typically leads to better separation of components in a distillation process. This is because higher reflux temperatures allow for more effective condensation and re-vaporization of the vaporized components, resulting in a purer distillate.
How much coke or vinegar to take for acid reflux?
Coke and vinegar are both acidic, and so would make your acid reflux worse.
What is difference between open reflux and closed reflux chemical oxygen demand measurement?
The closed reflux method is more efficient in the oxidation of volatile organic compounds than is the opened reflux method. The reason for this is that the oxidant is in contact with these compounds for a longer time. Besides, the closed method is cheaper as only 2 mL of sample is required, since 5 mL is the total volume of the mixture. This means that the amounts of reagents and sample are reduced by a factor of over 20 compared to the opened reflux method. In addition, this fact makes the method less contaminating and allows for the simultaneous digestion of a great number of samples
Where can I research laryngopharyngeal reflux?
Yes, there are many websites that have information about laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). ClevelandClinic.com is one of many that have lots of information and advice.

Do pretzels irritate asthma?
Pretzels have been known to cause acid reflux which can have symptoms similar to asthma: coughing, shortness of breath. This is especially true in people who suffer from a lesser known form of acid reflux called laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPR).
What causes laryngopharyndeal reflux?
At both ends of your esophagus there is a ring of muscle. Usually, the muscles keep your stomach's contents where they belong. With laryngopharyngeal reflux, the muscles don't work right and stomach acids backs up into your throat.
Where can I find information on laryngopharyngeal reflux?
If you need to find a place online to research a little information WebMD is a great resource that will help you. But if the problem persists, a doctor should be consulted at least via phone.
How does LPR impact the immune system?
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) refers to a relatively common disease in which gastric contents are refluxed into part of the upper GI tract and respiratory pathway. Studies have shown that the presence of LPR causes an upregulation of antibody secreting mucosal cells and stimulation of lymphoid tissue.
What exactly is a reflux diet?
It is when acid builds up in your esphogus and can also be caused by your stomach not empting correctly or slowly then normal.

How do you say acid reflux in french?

Head ears congested lump in throat feelin?
I had the same symptoms and saw an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist). Believe it or not, he diagnosed me with LPR - It's another form of acid reflux called Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. This type of reflux goes beyond your lower esphagus and affects your throat, voicebox, and can even affect your airways (nasal passages and eustacian tubes in ears) if they're narrow like mine. I've never even experienced the classic "heartburn" with my reflux, rather, have clogged ears, chronic nagging type cough and constantly clearing my throat - it feels like a lump in there. Bottom line, my doc put me on Nexium and I watch what I eat and feel great. Have a bad day here and there, but it's usually if I've eaten a trigger food. Good luck!!
