[Advantages, problems and prospects of intragastric pH-metry (concerning V. A. Gorshkov's article, "Imaginary and real advantages of gastric pH-metry")].

Gorshkov's controversial article has demonstrated that approaches to the use of intragastric pH-metry and aspiration titrimetry should be differentiated depending on the aims, tasks and conditions of the examination. The original techniques of intragastric pH-metry have been proposed for the more effective use of this method of examination.
