Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Measurement Post‐Pneumatic Dilation in Clinically Relevant Esophagogastric Junction Outlet Obstruction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
In a retrospective cohort study of 29 EGJOO patients receiving PD, FLIP metrics and Eckardt score all improved after PD. In 6 patients requiring early repeat dilation for symptom recurrence, no difference in FLIP findings was identified. ABSTRACT Background Pneumatic dilation (PD) is an effective treatment for disorders of reduced esophageal opening ...

Assessment of Esophagogastric Junction Barrier Function With the Supine‐Upright Transition of the Chicago Classification Protocol

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims The straight leg raise (SLR) is a provocative maneuver used to assess the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) barrier function during high‐resolution manometry (HRM) and is part of the Milan Score (MS). The Chicago Classification 4.0 (CCv4.0) protocol requires patients to perform a supine‐upright transition (SUT), increasing intra‐

Risk of Esophageal Cancer in Achalasia: A Matched Cohort Study Using the Nationwide Veterans Affairs Achalasia Cohort. [PDF]

INTRODUCTION: Achalasia is a postulated risk factor of esophageal cancer (EC); however, EC-associated risk in achalasia is understudied. We aimed to evaluate EC risk among individuals within the nationwide Veterans Affairs Achalasia Cohort.

Trainees’ Exposure to the Field of Neurogastroenterology and Motility in Internal Medicine and General Surgery Residency Programs

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 37, Issue 6, June 2025.
Internal medicine and general surgery trainees reported low exposure to neurogastroenterology and motility (NGM) in their training programs. Additionally, their comfort levels with NGM disorders were significantly lower than with organic GI disorders. ABSTRACT Background The disorders of neurogastroenterology and motility (NGM) are common, yet studies ...

Smooth muscle fascicular reorientation is required for esophageal morphogenesis and dependent on Cdo. [PDF]

, 2013
Postnatal maturation of esophageal musculature involves proximal-to-distal replacement of smooth muscle with skeletal muscle by elusive mechanisms. We report that this process is impaired in mice lacking the cell surface receptor Cdo and identify the ...
