True False

T/F

? has been implicated as a possibly factor in sudden infant death syndrome.

Congenital aganglionic megacolon is diagnosed by rectal manometry and rectal ?.

A pH probe will demonstrate a(n) ? in esophageal pH during a period of reflux.

Cleft palate is often complicated by communication between the ? and ? cavities.

? may be a complication of cystic fibrosis secondary to passing large stools.
