A Role for High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) Release in the Pathogenesis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Incubation of esophageal epithelial cells with a weakly acidic (pH 5) bile salt (deoxycholic acid) induces translocation of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytosol, and its subsequent release from the cell. This process can be ameliorated by pre‐treatment with the antioxidant, curcumin.

Extraction of Weak Surface Diaphragmatic Electromyogram Using Modified Progressive FastICA Peel-Off [PDF]

arXiv
Diaphragmatic electromyogram (EMGdi) contains crucial information about human respiration therefore can be used to monitor respiratory condition. Although it is practical to record EMGdi noninvasively and conveniently by placing surface electrodes over chest skin, extraction of such weak surface EMGdi (sEMGdi) from great noisy environment is a ...

Impact of Hiatus Hernia and Reflux on Bolus Transport Through the Esophagus and the Esophagogastric Junction and in Relation to Dysphagia

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Hiatus hernia alters esophageal anatomy, generating mechanical resistance in the mid‐distal esophagus that impairs bolus transport to the stomach. These findings are also observed in patients with reflux and are associated with dysphagia symptoms. ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia and reflux are frequently experienced by individuals with hiatus hernia (HH),

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‐

Contemporary esophageal physiological testing for primary esophageal motility disorder (PEMD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) before bariatric surgery: A systematic literature review

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Summary Objective This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the preoperative prevalence of primary esophageal motility disorders and gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with morbid obesity before bariatric surgery. Background The use of esophageal manometry ± 24‐hour pH study before bariatric surgery was explored.
