Esophageal motility disorders in systemic sclerosis
Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy and tissue fibrosis. Esophageal disorders are often associated. The diagnosis is confirmed and characterized by high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM).

WHAT IS THE REAL IMPAIRMENT ON ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY IN PATIENTS WITH GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE?
Context Impairment of esophageal motility is a common finding in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as reduced lower esophageal sphincter (LES) basal pressure.

A pictorial presentation of 3.0 Chicago Classification for esophageal motility disorders
High resolution manometry changed several esophageal motility paradigms. The 3.0 Chicago Classification defined manometric criteria for named esophageal motility disorders. We present a pictorial atlas of motility disorders.

Abstract Diseases of the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract significantly affect the quality of human life and have a high fatality rate. Accurate diagnosis of GI diseases plays a pivotal role in healthcare systems. However, processing large amounts of medical image data can be challenging for radiologists and other medical professionals, increasing the risk ...

Progressive Parkinsonism in PPP2R5D‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder
ABSTRACT PPP2R5D‐related neurodevelopmental disorder (Houge–Janssens syndrome type 1) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by macrocephaly, intellectual disability, and epilepsy. Progressive parkinsonism is an emerging adult phenotype that neurologists should be aware of since timely genetic diagnosis opens the door to disease‐modifying

Chicago Classification of Esophageal Motility Disorders: Lessons Learned [PDF]
High-resolution manometry (HRM) is increasingly performed worldwide, to study esophageal motility. The Chicago classification is subsequently applied to interpret the manometric findings and facilitate a diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders.
