Plummer-Vinson Syndrome and Role of Endoscopic Balloon Dilatation in a 4-Year-Old Child. [PDF]

JPGN Rep, 2023
Plummer‐Vinson syndrome (PVS), also called Patterson‐Kelly‐Brown syndrome, is a rare cause of dysphagia in children. This syndrome is associated with single or multiple webs in the upper esophagus with frequent iron deficiency. PVS usually occurs in adults, particularly in Caucasian middle‐aged women, in the fourth to seventh decade of life, and is ...

Age-Related Changes in Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) Feeding Behavior and Physiology: Insights of Masticatory and Swallowing Functions. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
This study investigated the feeding and swallowing physiology of 26 marmosets (1 month to 19 years old). Using a non‐invasive cineradiography setup, the study examined key age‐related differences in oral and pharyngeal swallowing phases across four age groups: infant, adult, old, and very old.

A closer look at high-energy X-ray-induced bubble formation during soft tissue imaging. [PDF]

J Synchrotron Radiat
Characterizing the X‐ray radiation dose limit of bubble formation in biological tissue and developing mitigation methods are crucial for improving X‐ray imaging techniques. Combined real‐time gas chromatography and in‐line X‐ray phase‐contrast radiography on human lung and brain tissue revealed that vacuum degassing delays bubble formation by up to a ...

The Clinical Relevance of the Rectosigmoid Brake in Surgical Disorders and Therapies: A Systematic Review of Colonic Manometry Studies. [PDF]

Neurogastroenterol Motil
Colonic motility mapping reveals a meal‐induced rectosigmoid brake in healthy individuals that is disrupted, disorganized, or exaggerated following surgery and in motility disorders. These alterations underlie conditions such as ileus, pseudo‐obstruction, and fecal incontinence, and may be modulated by sacral neuromodulation.

Esophageal cancer: Outcome and potential benefit of esophagectomy in elderly patients

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 13, Issue 19, Page 2699-2710, October 2022., 2022
Cancer specific survival stratified by age. Abstract Background This analysis evaluated the morbimortality and the potential benefit of esophagectomy for cancer in elderly patients. Methods Patients who underwent esophagectomy for EC were divided into elderly (≥70 years) and nonelderly (<70 years) groups.

Heads and tails: The notochord develops differently in the cranium and caudal fin of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar, L.)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 304, Issue 8, Page 1629-1649, August 2021., 2021
Abstract While it is well known that the notochord of bony fishes changes over developmental time, less is known about how it varies across different body regions. In the development of the Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., cranial and caudal ends of the notochord are overlaid by the formation of the bony elements of the neurocranium and caudal fin ...

Translating the seminal findings of Carl Lüderitz: A description in English of his extraordinary studies of gastrointestinal motility accompanied by a historical view of peristalsis

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 33, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021
The painting from Elisabeth Lüderitz shows Dr. Carl Lüderitz standing to the right. Carl Lüderitz provided the first comprehensive description of peristalsis in 1889, 10 years before Bayliss and Starling described the peristaltic reflex. At that time, the peristaltic reflex was referred to as the Lüderitz–Bayliss–Starling reflex. This review provides a

Kinematics, kinetics, and new insights from a contemporary analysis of the first experiments to produce cervical facet dislocations in the laboratory. [PDF]

JOR Spine
Despite several decades of experimental cadaver work, the mechanisms underlying subaxial cervical facet dislocation (CFD) remain unclear. We re‐examined the analog data from the first experimental study (and one of only two to date) to produce CFD in full cervical spines (n = 8), and determined the local and global spinal motions, and applied axial ...

Fecal Calprotectin Use in Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Beyond: A Mini‐Review

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 157-163, 2015., 2015
Given the number of inflammatory disorders affecting the gastrointestinal tract directly and indirectly, coupled with the considerable overlap with functional disorders, it is evident that more useful noninvasive diagnostic tests are required to aid with diagnosis.

Analysis of the talocrural and subtalar joint motions in patients with medial tibial stress syndrome

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 8, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Abstract Background The rearfoot motion during sports activities in patients with the medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the difference in kinematics of the rearfoot in MTSS patients (eight male soccer players) and control participants (eight male soccer players) during a forward step.
