Three-to-six month post-POEM timed barium esophagram can predict esophageal contents and may stratify aspiration risk on follow-up EGD [PDF]
BMC GastroenterologyBackground Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an increasingly utilized endoscopic therapy for achalasia. When undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), patients with a diagnosis of achalasia may receive endotracheal intubation (EI) to reduce the ...

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy for Esophageal Motility Disorders [PDF]
Clinical Endoscopy, 2020 Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is one of the most clinically successful tunnel-based minimally invasive endoscopic treatments. The classic indications of POEM include achalasia of all types, including failed prior treatments, and expanded indications ...

Esophageal virtual disease landscape using mechanics-informed machine learning [PDF]
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. 134 (2022) 102435, 2021 The pathogenesis of esophageal disorders is related to the esophageal wall mechanics. Therefore, to understand the underlying fundamental mechanisms behind various esophageal disorders, it is crucial to map the esophageal wall mechanics-based parameters onto physiological and pathophysiological conditions corresponding to altered bolus transit and ...

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 ...

Mechanics Informed Fluoroscopy of Esophageal Transport [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology. 20 (2021) 925-940, 2020 Fluoroscopy is a radiographic procedure for evaluating esophageal disorders such as achalasia, dysphasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It performs dynamic imaging of the swallowing process and provides anatomical detail and a qualitative idea of how well swallowed fluid is transported through the esophagus.
