Enhanced Visualization of the Distal Myotomy Endpoint during Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Using Indocyanine Green With Infrared Imaging

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG‐IRI) provides real‐time fluorescence visualization of the distal myotomy endpoint during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study of 39 patients, ICG‐IRI achieved a 94.9% success rate in fluorescence detection and significantly improved esophageal relaxation and symptoms.

EAES Clinical Practice Guideline 2026 Protocol: Multi‐Society Recommendations for the Treatment of Achalasia

Clinical and Public Health Guidelines, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Achalasia causes significant distress and quality‐of‐life impairment to patients. Several options exist for the treatment of achalasia including endoscopic [intra‐sphincteric injection of botulinum toxin, pneumatic dilation, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)], and surgical techniques such as Heller Myotomy.

A functional study of the esophagus in patients with non-cardiac chest pain and dysphagia [PDF]

, 2015
Background/Aims: Nutcracker esophagus and non-specific motility disorders are the main causes of non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP), with gastroesophageal reflux in 60% of cases. Achalasia and diffuse esophageal spasm are the most frequent anomalies described

Stricturing Diseases of the Gastrointestinal Tract—Current Clinical Practice

JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal stricture can occur in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, and anorectum. Most of the strictures are benign. The prevalence of esophageal strictures (ES) secondary to eosinophilic esophagitis has increased. Pyloric stenosis (PS) is rarely seen in clinical practice.

Interrater reliability in pediatric high‐resolution anorectal manometry recordings

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 980-987, April 2026.
Abstract Objectives High‐resolution anorectal manometry (HR‐ARM) is a diagnostic test assessing anorectal neuromuscular function in children with constipation and/or fecal incontinence. Interrater reliability of HR‐ARM in children has not been previously studied. The aim of this study was to assess the interrater reliability of pediatric HR‐ARM studies.

Beyond eosinophils: A proteomic dissection of remodeling and inflammation in suspected eosinophilic esophagitis

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 1078-1087, April 2026.
Abstract Objectives Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is characterized by eosinophilic inflammation and epithelial remodeling. However, current biomarkers focus predominantly on eosinophilia, overlooking basal cell hyperplasia (BCH), a histologic feature that may persist despite treatment.
