#manometry

This is an update for people who didn't get the Floornight emails (you didn't miss much).

To get a sense of context, Floornight Chapter 33 (currently on AO3) explains how a key "anti-shadow" (see last chapter) was created by Nudge. In Ch. 34 (on AO3) we learn that the shadow has now been destroyed, and in Ch. 35 (still on AO3) I explain how the last part of the plot unfolded, starting with what Homulilly created. In Chapter 36, I discuss the implications of these events.

In the early chapters of Floornight there's some confusion, since I'm trying to write everything in parallel instead of chronological order, and also trying to make the reader feel like they are reading some combination of the blog and the story which is very different from "writing the story chronologically." (I mean, in a way, this is a huge lie – it is in fact a weird mixture of stuff, and the fact that one can discern some sort of internal consistency is largely because when we read the blog we just assume it's unified enough in time, which it isn't.)

The next few Floornight chapters should resolve this confusion. Chapter 9 (currently on AO3) will conclude the previous set of events. Then, in Chapter 10 (currently on AO3), a new character will enter the scene which will cause some confusion, and we will have to wait for Chapter 11 (currently on AO3), the start of a new section, for this to be resolved. After that, I think I will be able to write Chapter 12 (currently on AO3) fast enough to be finished before the end of May, at which time there will be another hiatus, since I'm planning to go on a little trip. Then in early July, I will start updating regularly again, and should finish Chapter 33 in time for the 6/9 meeting.

Esophageal Manometry test in Pune - Gastrohub Hospital

Esophageal manometry is a test used to measure the function of the lower esophageal sphincter (the valve that prevents reflux of gastric acid into the esophagus) and the muscles of the esophagus (see diagram). This test will tell your doctor if your esophagus is able to move food to your stomach normally. Knowing why you might be experiencing a problem with your digestive system, helps to understand the swallowing and digestive processes.

During the manometry test, a thin, pressure-sensitive tube is passed through the nose, along the back of the throat, down the esophagus, and into the stomach.

Who Would Get Esophageal Manometry? The esophageal manometry test may be given to people who have the following conditions:

Difficulty swallowing Heartburn or reflux Non-cardiac Chest pain Prior to anti-reflux surgery

How Does Esophageal Manometry Work? Your esophagus moves food from your throat down to your stomach with a wave-like motion called peristalsis. Manometry will indicate how well the esophagus can perform peristalsis. Manometry also allows the doctor to examine the muscular valve connecting the esophagus with the stomach, called the lower esophageal sphincter, or LES. This valve relaxes to allow food and liquid to enter the stomach.

It closes to prevent food and liquid from moving out of the stomach and back up the esophagus.

My (private) specialist said they'd referred a couple of people who hadn't been able to even get confirmations about being on a waiting list and also couldn't wait. Apparently there ARE no private options for manometry tests so this is like. It. At this point I think we can no longer pretend that Australia still has that ~ world class health system ~ we used to brag about.
