Esophageal motility in eosinophilic esophagitis

Revista de Gastroenterología de México (English Edition), 2015
Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the esophagus and is a potential cause of dysphagia and food impaction, most commonly affecting young men. Esophageal manometry findings vary from normal motility

An experimental method to identify neurogenic and myogenic active mechanical states of intestinal motility [PDF]

, 2013
Excitatory and inhibitory enteric neural input to intestinal muscle acting on ongoing myogenic activity determines the rich repertoire of motor patterns involved in digestive function. The enteric neural activity cannot yet be established during movement

Pediatric vascular compression of the esophagus: Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe as a complement to imaging and endoscopy

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Vascular anomalies can cause extrinsic esophageal compression, leading to dysphagia or feeding difficulties in children. Diagnosis typically relies on imaging and endoscopy, which may under‐ or overestimate functional narrowing. Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) provides luminal parameters in real‐time, but its ...

Acute Effects of the 5‐Hydroxytryptamine Type 4 Receptor Agonist Mosapride on Pharyngeal Swallowing Physiology in Adults

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 5‐hydroxytryptamine type 4 receptor agonist mosapride is known to modulate esophageal peristalsis and enhance lower esophageal sphincter compliance. However, its impact on oropharyngeal swallowing physiology remains insufficiently characterized.

Trends in Laryngology Fellowship Training: A Survey Study of Graduates and Directors

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A survey study of laryngology fellowship Graduates and Directors reveals overall high level of confidence in preparedness to practice in the care of most laryngologic disorders. Respondents reported less exposure to swallowing disorders in fellowship with resulting lower confidence to practice independently in this area, despite seeing a good ...
