Successful esophageal bypass surgery in a patient with a large tracheoesophageal fistula following endotracheal stenting and chemoradiotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer: case report [PDF]

, 2012
A 63-year-old man with esophageal achalasia for more than 20 years complained of respiratory distress. He was admitted as an emergency to the referral hospital three months previously.

Achalasia subtypes can be identified with functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) panometry using a supervised machine learning process

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2020
Achalasia subtypes on high‐resolution manometry (HRM) prognosticate treatment response and help direct management plan. We aimed to utilize parameters of distension‐induced contractility and pressurization on functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP ...

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.

The Pathogenesis and Management of Achalasia: Current Status and Future Directions

Gut and Liver, 2015
Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder that is commonly misdiagnosed initially as gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients with achalasia often complain of dysphagia with solids and liquids but may focus on regurgitation as the primary symptom ...

Functional‐Structural Correlates in Achalasia: The Relationship of Esophageal Pressurization and Anatomy

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
High‐resolution manometry (HRM) Chicago Classification subtypes and panesophageal pressurization generally correlated (inversely) with esophageal morphology defined by width (Brazilian classification) and anatomic deformity (Japanese Esophageal Society classification) on esophagram in achalasia.

Proteomic Identification of Proteins Suggestive of Immune-Mediated Response or Neuronal Degeneration in Serum of Achalasia Patients

Gut and Liver, 2013
Background/AimsThe primary pathophysiologic abnormality in achalasia is known to be a loss of inhibitory myenteric ganglion cells, which may result from an immune-mediated response or neuronal degeneration.

Histopathological Analysis of Esophageal Mucosa in Patients with Achalasia

Gut and Liver, 2021
Background/Aims: Achalasia is an esophageal motor disorder that leads to functional esophageal obstruction. Food stasis and bacterial fermentation can predispose an individual to esophageal mucosal inflammation, causing multifocal dysplasia and ...

Validation of Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Panometry Esophageal Motility Classification Version 2.0: A Study of 805 Patients

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
In a multicenter cohort of 805 patients, FLIP panometry v2.0 demonstrated strong diagnostic performance, with a 99% negative predictive value of normal motility for EGJ outflow disorders and a 91% positive predictive value of non‐spastic obstruction for achalasia or conclusive EGJOO, supporting its role as a valuable diagnostic tool.

Impaired Esophageal Motility and Clearance Post-Lung Transplant: Risk For Chronic Allograft Failure [PDF]

, 2017
Objectives: Gastroesophageal reflux is common in patients post-lung transplantation (LTx) and thus considered a risk factor for aspiration and consequently allograft rejection and the development of chronic allograft failure. However, evidence supporting
