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.

Efficacy and Safety of a Revised Gastric Peroral Endoscopic Myo‐Neurotomy Procedure for Bariatric Endoscopy in a Porcine Model

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is a minimally invasive and effective treatment for obesity, although gastric mucosa folding and subsequent reduced visibility of the gastric lining raise concerns for some patients. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a revised peroral endoscopic myo‐neurotomy (R‐POEM‐N) technique using a ...

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 ...

Enhanced Visualization of the Distal Myotomy Endpoint during Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Using Indocyanine Green With Infrared Imaging

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG‐IRI) provides real‐time fluorescence visualization of the distal myotomy endpoint during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study of 39 patients, ICG‐IRI achieved a 94.9% success rate in fluorescence detection and significantly improved esophageal relaxation and symptoms.

Achalasia in the elderly patient: a comparative study

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2011
CONTEXT: Achalasia is a primary esophageal motor disorder secondary to the degeneration of ganglion cells of the inhibitory intramural myenteric plexus. It affects both sexes similarly and has two peaks of incidence, one in the 3rd to 4th decades of life

Radiological evaluation of esophageal function in dysphagia with special emphasis on achalasia [PDF]

, 2008
In idiopathic achalasia, degeneration of the inhibitory innervation of the esophageal smooth muscle results in absence of primary peristalsis and in incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).

Fanconi Syndrome After a Single Exposure to Intravenous Zoledronic Acid

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Bisphosphonates are commonly used to reduce fracture risk in patients with osteoporosis, in those with malignant metastatic bone disease and for treatment of malignant hypercalcaemia. We present the case of a woman in her 80s admitted with recurrent falls who developed Fanconi syndrome after a single dose of intravenous Zoledronic acid despite

Pseudoachalasia due to Distal Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in an Elderly Patient: Clinical Insights

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Pseudoachalasia is a rare condition that clinically and radiologically mimics primary achalasia, most commonly secondary to an underlying malignancy. We report the case of a 79‐year‐old man presenting with a two‐month history of progressive dysphagia to both solids and liquids, accompanied by regurgitation, retrosternal discomfort, heartburn ...
