Difference of achalasia subtypes based on clinical symptoms, radiographic findings, and stasis scores

Revista de Gastroenterología de México (English Edition), 2018
Introduction: Three subtypes of achalasia have been defined through high-resolution esophageal manometry: subtype i shows no pressurization with swallows, subtype ii has increased isobaric panesophageal pressure, and subtype iii has distal esophageal ...

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

Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Measurement Post‐Pneumatic Dilation in Clinically Relevant Esophagogastric Junction Outlet Obstruction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
In a retrospective cohort study of 29 EGJOO patients receiving PD, FLIP metrics and Eckardt score all improved after PD. In 6 patients requiring early repeat dilation for symptom recurrence, no difference in FLIP findings was identified. ABSTRACT Background Pneumatic dilation (PD) is an effective treatment for disorders of reduced esophageal opening ...

Assessment of Esophagogastric Junction Barrier Function With the Supine‐Upright Transition of the Chicago Classification Protocol

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims The straight leg raise (SLR) is a provocative maneuver used to assess the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) barrier function during high‐resolution manometry (HRM) and is part of the Milan Score (MS). The Chicago Classification 4.0 (CCv4.0) protocol requires patients to perform a supine‐upright transition (SUT), increasing intra‐

Advances in the Diagnosis and Management of Achalasia and Achalasia-Like Syndromes: Insights From HRM and FLIP

Gastro Hep Advances, 2023
High-resolution manometry, Chicago Classification v4.0, the functional lumen imaging probe, Panometry, and per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) are all now integral parts of the landscape for managing achalasia or, more precisely, achalasia-like syndromes.

Consensus on the Management of Anesthetic Agents During Digestive Motility Measurements and Proposal of a Standardized Protocol for Anesthesia (French Neuro Gastroenterology Group GFNG and Committee of Anesthetic French Experts)

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Anesthesia can alter measurements during digestive endoscopies, yet no standardized protocol currently exists. Two expert groups—the French Neuro‐Gastroenterology Group (GFNG) and anesthesiologists—used the Delphi method to reach a consensus on which drugs have an influence (91 amendments), ultimately resulting in a proposed anesthesia protocol (28 ...

ACHALASIA TREATMENT IMPROVES SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS AND QUALITY OF LIFE: VALIDATION OF AN ACHALASIA SPECIFIC QUALITY OF LIFE QUESTIONNAIRE [PDF]

, 2013
Background and aim: Therapies for achalasia aim to patients’ symptom relief, but they affect patient’s quality of life (QoL), too. An ad hoc question- naire evaluating both achalasia-related symptoms and disease related QoL is lacking. Aim: To validate a

Optimizing the Straight Leg Raise Maneuver to Improve Prediction of Conclusive Gastro‐Esophageal Reflux Disease

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
The SLR maneuver is a valuable component of GERD evaluation. By establishing optimal thresholds for both effective EGJ challenge and accurate GERD prediction, we provide another step for standardized implementation in clinical practice. ABSTRACT Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) arises from dysfunction of the anti‐reflux barrier.
