Tiny Electrode
Locates Causes
Of Heartburn
Los Angeles-(Science Serv
ice) - A severe, chronic form
of heartburn, which some
times mimics heart disease
and ulcers, is being diagnosed
by a tiny electrode introduced
into the esophagus.
The research is being done
by Drs. Steward G. Tuttle and
Morton I. Grossman of the Los
Angeles Veterans Administra
tion Center and the University
of California, Los Angeles,
Medical Center. 1 -
The electrode is passed via
the nasal passage into the
esophagus to a point just
above where the esophagus
joins the stomach. The sensi
tive electrode detects minute
changes in the acid talance in
the esophagus. Pressures in
the esophagus are recorded
simultaneously.
Increase in Acidity
Episodes of heartburn have
been correlated directly with
increases in esophageal acid
ity. These begin with a slight
increase in acidity and dimin
ish as acidity decreases.
Thus heartburn appears to
be associated with regurgita
tion. No correlation between
heartburn and pressure
changes in the esophagus was
observed.
In additional studies with
patients with severe, chronic
heartburn, known as esopha-
gitis, tiny amounts of hydro
chloric (stomach) acid were
dripped into the esophagus.
Heartburn Produced
In such patients heartburn
was immediately produced.
In patients without esopha
gitile the acid-drip procedure
produced no heartburn. Ap
parently a sensitivity of the
esophagus, perhaps induced
by frequent regurgitation, is
Oinvolved in esophagitis, the
investigators said.
The two procedures have
proved valuable in diagnos-
ing the disorder in cases in
which X-ray studies and clini
cal observations had not
established its presence. Some
of these cases had symptoms
of angina pectoris and peptic
ulcer, which were ruled out
with the aid of the new proce
dure.
Agitable Drugs
Said Capable of
Eliminating IB
New "York - (Science Serv
ice) - The 4 r u g s medical
science no uses to fight tu
berculosis are capable of com
pletely eliminating that di
sease ii this country.
This fact is at the core of a
plan topeed up the campaign
against tuberculosis announc
ed by Dr. H. McLeod Kiggins,
president of the National Tu
berculosis Association and
clinical professor of medicine
at Columbia University here.
Essentially, the plan is to
use available antituberculosis
drugs to eliminate all sources
of tuberculous infection by
the adequate treatment ' of
every person with active tu
berculosis, and also selected
persons with inactive disease.
Active Campaign Asked
Dr. Riggins called for an ac
tive campaign to locate every
person with active tubercu
losis and insure his treatment
with a drug or combination
of drugs known to be effec
tive against this communica
ble disease. Thus, since the
disease is spread from person
to p?rson, the chain of infec
tion will be broken and even
tually tuberculosis can be
eliminated.
The NTA estimates there
are at least 250,000 active
cases of tuberculosis in the
U.S. today. Of these, 100.000
are not known to health de
partments. An addit i o n a 1
550.000 Americans are be
lieved to carry the disease in
an inactive form.
Drugs now used to fight
tuberculosis include isoniazid,
streptomycin and PAS, p-ami-nosalicylic
acid.
