Stricturing Diseases of the Gastrointestinal Tract—Current Clinical Practice
JGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal stricture can occur in the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, and anorectum. Most of the strictures are benign. The prevalence of esophageal strictures (ES) secondary to eosinophilic esophagitis has increased. Pyloric stenosis (PS) is rarely seen in clinical practice.

Interrater reliability in pediatric high‐resolution anorectal manometry recordings
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 980-987, April 2026.Abstract Objectives High‐resolution anorectal manometry (HR‐ARM) is a diagnostic test assessing anorectal neuromuscular function in children with constipation and/or fecal incontinence. Interrater reliability of HR‐ARM in children has not been previously studied. The aim of this study was to assess the interrater reliability of pediatric HR‐ARM studies.

Wound healing of laparoscopic Heller's myotomy with and without an added dor's fundoplication, in pigs [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: It has been argued that a Dor's fundoplication following myotomy is useful to prevent leakage due to overlooked iatrogenic perforations of esophagus and it is able to stop sphincter reconstruction, avoiding recurrent achalasia. Another strain

Digestive Endoscopy, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Backgrounds and Aims Esophageal achalasia is typically defined by impaired lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation. In rare cases, complete circumferential visibility of the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) and upper gastric folds (GFs) is seen endoscopically, suggesting functional obstruction may extend to the distal esophagogastric junction

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).
