A pressão do esfíncter esofagiano superior varia durante a manometria esofágica [PDF]
ABCD. Arquivos Brasileiros de Cirurgia Digestiva (São Paulo), 2014 BACKGROUND:The upper esophageal sphincter is composed of striated muscle. The stress of intubation and the need to inhibit dry swallows during an esophageal manometry test may lead to variations in basal pressure of this sphincter.

High-resolution esophageal manometry in patients with achalasia
Вестник хирургии имени И.И. Грекова, 2021 Introduction. At present, high-resolution esophageal manometry is the «gold standard» for the diagnosis of esophageal achalasia, based on the determination of the integrated relaxation pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter, the value of which in the

Peroral endoscopic myotomy can improve esophageal motility in patients with achalasia from a large sample self-control research (66 patients). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) as a new approach to achalasia attracts broad attention. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the results with esophageal motility after POEM through the first large sample clinical research.We have a self-

Cooling or Warming the Esophagus to Reduce Esophageal Injury During Left Atrial Ablation in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation. [PDF]
, 2020 Ablation of the left atrium using either radiofrequency (RF) or cryothermal energy is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) and is the most frequent type of cardiac ablation procedure performed. Although generally safe, collateral injury to
