Endoscopic stent suture fixation for prevention of esophageal stent migration during prolonged dilatation for achalasia treatment. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The aim of this study is to compare endoscopic stent suture fixation with endoscopic clip attachment or the use of partially covered stents (PCS) regarding their capability to prevent stent migration during prolonged dilatation in achalasia.

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

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &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).

Esophageal carcinoma and achalasia: prevalence, incidence and results of treatment

open access: yes, 1991
Between 1980 and 1988, we treated 1,521 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and 336 patients with adenocarcinoma of the gastric cardia. Between 1967 and 1988, 244 patients with esophageal achalasia were also observed.

Assessment of Esophageal High-Resolution Impedance Manometry in Patients with Nonobstructive Dysphagia

open access: yesGastroenterology Research and Practice, 2018
Background. High-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) can calculate the bolus motion parameters and the ratio of complete esophageal transit besides the conventional esophageal dynamic parameters; therefore, we could better manage the patients with ...

EndoFLIP Guided Assessment of Pyloric Distensibility Identifies Associations With Delayed Gastric Emptying and Symptoms of Gastroparesis

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 7, July 2026.
Measuring pyloric distensibility at high balloon volumes using EndoFLIP differentiates normal from delayed gastric emptying, while pyloric stiffness specifically correlates with increased subjective feeling of stomach fullness. EndoFLIP could be a valuable clinical tool to phenotype the pyloric sphincter in symptomatic patients.

Gastrointestinal manifestations during oral immunotherapy: A guide for pediatric allergists

open access: yesPediatric 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 ...

2011 update on esophageal achalasia

open access: yesWorld Journal of Gastroenterology, 2012
There have been some breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal achalasia in the past few years. First, the introduction of high-resolution manometry with pressure topography plotting as a new diagnostic tool has made it possible to classify achalasia into three subtypes.

Esophageal cancer in esophageal diverticula associated with achalasia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The simultaneous occurrence of achalasia and esophageal diverticula is rare. Here, we report the case of a 68-year-old man with multiple esophageal diverticula associated with achalasia who was later diagnosed with early esophageal cancer.
