Additional Diagnostic Yield of Ambulatory 24‐h High Resolution Manometry With Impedance in Patients With Non‐Cardiac Chest Pain or Non‐Obstructive Dysphagia

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Spastic and hypercontractile esophageal motor disorders can cause retrosternal pain and/or dysphagia but may be missed by short‐term high resolution manometry (HRM). 24‐h‐HRM detected considerable circadian variability of esophageal contractility and markedly increased the percentage of patients diagnosed with a major motor disorder.

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 ...

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 ...

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‐

The number and size of Lugol‐voiding areas were reduced by pneumatic dilation in a patient with achalasia and esophageal cancer

JGH Open, 2020
Achalasia is a rare benign esophageal motility disease caused by the impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, which results from nerve damage. Patients with achalasia are known to have a high risk of esophageal cancer.

Toupet versus Dor as a procedure to prevent reflux after cardiomyotomy for achalasia: Results of a randomised clinical trial [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundThe optimal anti-reflux procedure after Heller cardiomyotomy for oesophageal achalasia remains unclear. The most commonly used procedure is the anterior partial fundoplication according to Dor, although during recent years the posterior ...

Achalasia - An Update

Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2010
Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder of unknown cause, characterized by aperistalsis of the esophageal body and impaired lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. Patients present at all ages, primarily with dysphagia for solids/liquids and bland regurgitation.

Optimizing the Straight Leg Raise Maneuver to Improve Prediction of Conclusive Gastro‐Esophageal Reflux Disease

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
The SLR maneuver is a valuable component of GERD evaluation. By establishing optimal thresholds for both effective EGJ challenge and accurate GERD prediction, we provide another step for standardized implementation in clinical practice. ABSTRACT Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) arises from dysfunction of the anti‐reflux barrier.
