A Patient with Uncontrollable Belching: What to Do? by I. V. Maev, Yu. A. Kucheryaviy, E. V. Barkalova, M. A. Ovsepyan

“…In this case, unlike aerophagia, the air entering the esophagus is not accompanied by the act of swallowing. Supragastric belching is not a reflex process; rather, it is considered to be a manifestation of behavioural disorders. 24-hour pH-impedancemetry and high-resolution esophageal manometry are highly informative methods for detecting various types of belching (gastric and supragastric), as well as their mechanisms. …”

Insects Induced Mango Fruit Rot: Unraveling the Culprits by Sivagami Subramaniam, Noor Aisyah Md Noordin, Noor Azrizal-Wahid, Nur Ain Izzati Mohd Zainudin

“…Some infections could occur before harvest and remain dormant until the favourable condition is achieved, and the disease will break out after harvest, reducing mango production. They act as a threat to the crops through various mechanisms of pathogenesis that compromise the immune system of the plants, such as developing any ways to attack the plants, seeking entry via open pores or exposed surface or wound, and sourcing nutrients forcefully for their growth and development. …”
