ALLELE-SPECIFIC TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVITY OF THE VARIABLE NUMBER OF TANDEM REPEATS OF THE INDUCIBLE NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE GENE IS ASSOCIATED WITH IDIOPATHIC ACHALASIA [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Polymorphisms of genes involved in the regulation of the immune response are risk factors for achalasia, but their contribution to disease pathogenesis is unknown.

Esophageal achalasia

, 2018
Achalasia is a rare disease that affects esophageal motility as result of myenteric denervation of the esophagus and in a large proportion of cases, stomach. Its causes remain still poorly elucidated and its diagnosis remains late, reporting a delay of at least 5 years from the onset of symptoms, often confused with conditions such as gastroesophageal ...

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.

Smooth muscle fascicular reorientation is required for esophageal morphogenesis and dependent on Cdo. [PDF]

, 2013
Postnatal maturation of esophageal musculature involves proximal-to-distal replacement of smooth muscle with skeletal muscle by elusive mechanisms. We report that this process is impaired in mice lacking the cell surface receptor Cdo and identify the ...

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

A functional study of the esophagus in patients with non-cardiac chest pain and dysphagia [PDF]

, 2015
Background/Aims: Nutcracker esophagus and non-specific motility disorders are the main causes of non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP), with gastroesophageal reflux in 60% of cases. Achalasia and diffuse esophageal spasm are the most frequent anomalies described

Clinical utility of pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance for upper esophageal sphincter dysfunction in gastroenterology

Advances in Digestive Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance (P‐HRM‐I) is an established assessment method used to evaluate pharyngeal swallowing. It provides precise quantification of swallowing biomechanics that enable the detection of alterations in swallowing physiology.

Successful Management of Esophageal Perforation with Self-Expandable Metal Stent following Pneumatic Dilation for Achalasia Cardia

Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2019
Achalasia cardia is the most common cause of motor dysphagia. Pneumatic dilation (PD) of lower esophageal sphincter remains the cornerstone of treatment. However, it is associated with esophageal perforation in some cases. We present a case of esophageal

Incidence, Morbidity, and Mortality of Achalasia: A Nationwide, Population-Based Cohort Study in South Korea

Gut and Liver, 2023
Background/Aims: Although an association between achalasia and esophageal cancer has been reported, whether achalasia confers a substantial increase in mortality is unknown.
