Efficacy and Safety of Closure‐Focused Anti‐Reflux Mucoplasty Compared With Conventional ARMS: A Propensity Score–Matched Study (With Video)

Digestive Endoscopy, Volume 38, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic anti‐reflux therapies, including anti‐reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) and mucosal ablation (ARMA), offer minimally invasive treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) but carry risks of stenosis and delayed bleeding.

Plasma levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-12, IL-17, IL-22, and IL-23 in achalasia, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

BMC Gastroenterology, 2019
An elevation of serum inflammatory biomarkers in achalasia patients compared with controls recently was demonstrated. It has not been determined whether the elevation of inflammatory cytokines is unique to achalasia or occurs with other diseases ...

Pediatric vascular compression of the esophagus: Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe as a complement to imaging and endoscopy

JPGN Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 192-199, May 2026.
Abstract Objectives Vascular anomalies can cause extrinsic esophageal compression, leading to dysphagia or feeding difficulties in children. Diagnosis typically relies on imaging and endoscopy, which may under‐ or overestimate functional narrowing. Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) provides luminal parameters in real‐time, but its ...

HOW TO DISTINGUISH IDIOPATHIC ACHALASIA FROM PSEUDOACHALASIA?

, 2021
Achalasia is a disorder characterized by insufficient relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and absent peristalsis. It is usually primary (idiopathic) achalasia, but it can also be secondary achalasia (pseudoachalasia).

The Evolution of Achalasia [PDF]

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2011
Esophageal motility abnormalities have been described as existing in a spectrum which includes achalasia, distal esophageal spasm, nutcracker esophagus and possibly other less distinct motility findings. There has been much questioning and controversy relevant to whether these different manometric features evolve from one to another and thus form a ...
