The Milan Score is an Effective Manometric Tool to Predict Gastroesophageal Reflux in Patients With Laryngopharyngeal Symptoms

Patients with isolated LPS demonstrated a lower likelihood of EGJ disruption, pathologic GERD, and abnormal Milan score. The Milan score performed similarly well in the identification of GERD in both LPS and typical symptoms. The Milan score could therefore be used as an upfront test in LPS patients.

Consensus on the Management of Anesthetic Agents During Digestive Motility Measurements and Proposal of a Standardized Protocol for Anesthesia (French Neuro Gastroenterology Group GFNG and Committee of Anesthetic French Experts)

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Anesthesia can alter measurements during digestive endoscopies, yet no standardized protocol currently exists. Two expert groups—the French Neuro‐Gastroenterology Group (GFNG) and anesthesiologists—used the Delphi method to reach a consensus on which drugs have an influence (91 amendments), ultimately resulting in a proposed anesthesia protocol (28 ...

Complications of Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System: Review of 1205 Cases in 10 Years’ Experience

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System (EPSIS) is a novel endoscopic tool to assess lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function by monitoring intragastric pressure (IGP) through insufflation. While previous studies have confirmed its diagnostic utility for LES dysfunction‐related disorders such as gastroesophageal ...
