Interrater reliability in pediatric high‐resolution anorectal manometry recordings

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives High‐resolution anorectal manometry (HR‐ARM) is a diagnostic test assessing anorectal neuromuscular function in children with constipation and/or fecal incontinence. Interrater reliability of HR‐ARM in children has not been previously studied. The aim of this study was to assess the interrater reliability of pediatric HR‐ARM studies.

High-resolution manometry in achalasia of esophagus

Revista Cubana de Medicina Militar, 2021
Introduction: High-resolution esophageal manometry is the ideal test for the diagnosis of achalasia and shows the presence of tertiary waves or aperistalsis and increased pressure, in the absence of relaxation, of the lower esophageal sphincter ...

Current Status of Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy [PDF]

Clinical Endoscopy, 2018
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been established as an optional treatment for achalasia. POEM is an endoluminal procedure that involves dissection of esophageal muscle fibers followed by submucosal tunneling.

High-resolution esophageal manometry in patients with achalasia

Вестник хирургии имени И.И. Грекова, 2021
Introduction. At present, high-resolution esophageal manometry is the «gold standard» for the diagnosis of esophageal achalasia, based on the determination of the integrated relaxation pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter, the value of which in the

Beyond eosinophils: A proteomic dissection of remodeling and inflammation in suspected eosinophilic esophagitis

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is characterized by eosinophilic inflammation and epithelial remodeling. However, current biomarkers focus predominantly on eosinophilia, overlooking basal cell hyperplasia (BCH), a histologic feature that may persist despite treatment.

Risk of esophageal cancer in achalasia cardia: A meta‐analysis

JGH Open, 2019
Introduction The association between cancer of the esophagus and achalasia has long been recognized. However, it has also been recognized that cancers themselves can give rise to achalasia‐like syndromes. The risk of developing cancer is also a factor in

Pediatric vascular compression of the esophagus: Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe as a complement to imaging and endoscopy

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Vascular anomalies can cause extrinsic esophageal compression, leading to dysphagia or feeding difficulties in children. Diagnosis typically relies on imaging and endoscopy, which may under‐ or overestimate functional narrowing. Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) provides luminal parameters in real‐time, but its ...

Esophageal Cancer Secondary to Achalasia: A Case Series Study

Case Reports in Gastroenterology
Introduction: Achalasia is a primary motility disorder affecting the esophageal body and lower esophageal sphincter. Although the linkage between achalasia and elevated esophageal cancer risk is already known, the precise mechanisms remain ...

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

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

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
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.
