Esophageal Motility Patterns After Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy in Patients With Achalasia
Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2021 Background/Aims Several studies have reported partial recovery of peristalsis in patients with achalasia after myotomy. The aim of our study is to analyze esophageal motility patterns after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and to assess the potential ...

Primary Esophageal Motility Disorders: Beyond Achalasia [PDF]
, 2017 The best-defined primary esophageal motor disorder is achalasia. However, symptoms such as dysphagia, regurgitation and chest pain can be caused by other esophageal motility disorders.

A fully resolved active musculo-mechanical model for esophageal transport [PDF]
Journal of Computational Physics, Volume 298, 1 October 2015,
Pages 446-465, 2015 Esophageal transport is a physiological process that mechanically transports an ingested food bolus from the pharynx to the stomach via the esophagus, a multi-layered muscular tube. This process involves interactions between the bolus, the esophagus, and the neurally coordinated activation of the esophageal muscles.

Complete endoscopic closure (clipping) of a large esophageal perforation after pneumatic dilation in a patient with achalasia [PDF]
, 2012 The risk of esophageal perforation following endoscopic balloon dilation for achalasia is in the range of 1 and 5% with a mortality rate of 1-20%. Perforations need to be recognized early and, if reasonable, an immediate endoscopic repair should be ...

Deep-learning models in medical image analysis: Detection of esophagitis from the Kvasir Dataset [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Early detection of esophagitis is important because this condition can progress to cancer if left untreated. However, the accuracies of different deep learning models in detecting esophagitis have yet to be compared. Thus, this study aimed to compare the accuracies of convolutional neural network models (GoogLeNet, ResNet-50, MobileNet V2, and ...

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.

The Mechanisms for the Association of Cancer and Esophageal Dysmotility Disorders
Medical Sciences, 2021 Background: Achalasia and other esophageal dysmotility disorders mimicking achalasia can be associated with cancer. This study aimed to review the main mechanisms for which cancer may develop in esophageal dysmotility disorder patients.
