Esophageal Motility in Cirrhotics with and without Esophageal Varices

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1989
Esophageal manometry was performed in 45 cirrhotics with varices, in 15 cirrhotics without varices, and in 20 normal subjects, to define the effect of varices on esophageal motility. Cirrhotics with varices showed a decreased amplitude of motor waves in the lower half of the esophagus (p less than 0.01), an increased duration of primary peristaltic ...

Esophageal motility in the elderly

The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1977
The effect of age on motor function of the esophagus was studied manometrically by comparing 49 asymptomatic subjects over 60 years of age with 43 similar subjects under 40 years of age. The resting pressures and the responses to deglutition were recorded in the esophagus, lower esophageal sphincter (LES), and the stomach.

ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY IN CARDIOSPASM

Archives of Surgery, 1954
IN THE year 1674, Willis 10 encountered a patient with nonorganic obstruction of the lower esophagus and fashioned for his use a whalebone rod capped with a pad of sponge. With this crude instrument the patient successfully forced food into his stomach for a 15-year period. Although the condition was not called such, this report probably represents the

Swallowing and esophageal motility

The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1958
The physiology of swallowing has been reviewed. Intraluminal pressure changes have been interpreted in terms of the dynamics of deglutition. Correlation of anatomic, radiologic, and physiologic observations is now possible and a better understanding of this complex act is provided.

Peroral esophageal myotomy for esophageal motility disorders

Minerva Gastroenterology, 2023
The concept of third space endoscopy first described in 2007, was adapted and performed in humans in 2010 by Inoue et al. in a group of patients with esophageal achalasia (EA). Since then, esophageal endoscopic myotomy (E-POEM), has been performed in more than 10,000 patients worldwide up to now.

Esophageal motility disorders

Disease-a-Month, 1988
Esophageal motility disorders consist of a complex array of disturbances in normal esophageal function associated with dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux, and noncardiac chest pain. A thorough knowledge of normal esophageal anatomy and physiology is important to a full understanding of these motility derangements.

Esophageal Motility in the Monkey

Gastroenterology, 1965
Summary This study indicates that the macaque monkey is a suitable subject for study of esophageal physiology with a pressure profile very similar to that of man.

Esophageal Motility in the Assessment of Esophageal Function

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2001
Esophageal manometry assesses lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and its relaxation. In addition, it detects the ability of the esophageal body to initiate a peristaltic contraction and the contraction's amplitude in response to a water bolus.

Impact of opioids on esophageal motility

Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2023
AbstractOpioids are well known to cause adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract including nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Data regarding how opioids affect the esophagus are more limited. Opioid‐induced esophageal dysfunction (OIED) is a clinical syndrome defined by chronic opioid use (≥3 months), esophageal symptoms (mainly dysphagia), and ...

ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY IN INFANTS AND CHILDREN

Pediatrics, 1963
Patterns of esophageal motility are presented, and normal values are established in 47 normal infants and children between 2 days and 14 years of age. The tone of the inferior esophageal sphincter mechanism is poor during the first 6 days of life, but increases significantly after the first week and through the first year of life.
