Non-achalasia esophageal motility disorders: Role of per-oral endoscopic myotomy
International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention, 2020 Major disorders of esophageal peristalsis other than achalasia include Jackhammer esophagus (JHE), distal esophageal spasm (DES), and esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO).

Natural language processing to automatically extract the presence and severity of esophagitis in notes of patients undergoing radiotherapy [PDF]
, 2023 Radiotherapy (RT) toxicities can impair survival and quality-of-life, yet remain under-studied. Real-world evidence holds potential to improve our understanding of toxicities, but toxicity information is often only in clinical notes. We developed natural language processing (NLP) models to identify the presence and severity of esophagitis from notes of

New endoscopic finding of esophageal achalasia with ST Hood short type: Corona appearance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS:Detecting esophageal achalasia remains a challenge. We describe the diagnostic utility of corona appearance, a novel endoscopic finding specific to esophageal achalasia.

Functional restoration of the esophagus after peroral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a new efficacious treatment option for achalasia. We propose to define "esophageal remodeling" as the functional restoration of the esophagus that involves decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, recovery

The treatment of achalasia patients with esophageal varices: an international study [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Treatment options for achalasia include endoscopic and surgical techniques that carry the risk of esophageal bleeding and perforation. The rare coexistence of esophageal varices has only been anecdotally described and treatment is presumed to

Primary versus secondary achalasia: New signs on barium esophagogram
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2015 Aim: To investigate new signs on barium swallow that can differentiate primary from secondary achalasia. Materials and Methods: Records of 30 patients with primary achalasia and 17 patients with secondary achalasia were reviewed.

Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening Segmentation with Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks in High Resolution Cervical Auscultation [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (2020), 2020 Upper esophageal sphincter is an important anatomical landmark of the swallowing process commonly observed through the kinematic analysis of radiographic examinations that are vulnerable to subjectivity and clinical feasibility issues. Acting as the doorway of esophagus, upper esophageal sphincter allows the transition of ingested materials from ...
