Accuracy of Novice Raters for Esophageal Motility Classifications Using Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Panometry

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 7, July 2026.
Eight novice raters without motility experience completed brief FLIP panometry training and interpreted 40 studies using v1.0 and v2.0 classification schemes. Accuracy compared to expert consensus was high (v1.0: 0.78, v2.0: 0.73), with good‐to‐moderate interrater agreement (v1.0: κ 0.61, v2.0: κ 0.55).

Gastrointestinal manifestations during oral immunotherapy: A guide for pediatric allergists

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 37, Issue 7, July 2026.
Gastrointestinal manifestations occurring during oral immunotherapy (OIT) encompass a spectrum of conditions ranging from immediate IgE‐mediated reactions to delayed eosinophil‐associated disorders, including eosinophilic esophagitis. Because symptoms may overlap with other gastrointestinal diseases, a structured assessment based on symptom timing ...

Cytologic Findings in Esophageal Perforation: An Institutional Experience With Pleural Fluid Specimens

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 429-435, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Esophageal perforation (EP) is a rare but life‐threatening condition, and most cases are due to iatrogenic causes. The rest occur spontaneously, due to malignancies, or trauma. The mortality rates can approach 50%, and delayed diagnosis of EP exacerbates patient outcomes.

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

JPGN Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 192-199, May 2026.
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 ...
