There are some formula for estimating nares to lower esophageal sphincter distance in infants based on height. I'm looking for some data in adults to estimate such distance based on gender and height. What is important for me is the upper margin of the LES as we need to place a probe 5 cm above LES.
I think it is difficult to define a personality in itself that may be attributed to what the educational system has reached now, but it can be attributed to a good number of theories and theoretical assumptions that have proved valid at the applied level as well as many successful educational models and experiments have adopted their approaches and methods in addressing the issues of education
