Esophageal motility changes after thyroidectomy; possible associations with postoperative voice and swallowing disorders: preliminary results. [PDF]
, 2013 Objective Swallowing and voice impairment are common after thyroidectomy. We evaluated short-term functional changes in esophageal motility in a series of patients who had undergone total thyroidectomy. Several studies have investigated these symptoms by

The Invalidity of the Laplace Law for Biological Vessels and of Estimating Elastic Modulus from Total Stress vs. Strain: a New Practical Method [PDF]
, 2013 The quantification of the stiffness of tubular biological structures is often obtained, both in vivo and in vitro, as the slope of total transmural hoop stress plotted against hoop strain. Total hoop stress is typically estimated using the "Laplace law."

Three-Dimensional Myoarchitecture of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter and Esophageal Hiatus Using Optical Sectioning Microscopy. [PDF]
, 2017 Studies to date have failed to reveal the anatomical counterpart of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). We assessed the LES and esophageal hiatus morphology using a block containing the human LES and crural diaphragm, serially sectioned at 50 μm ...

Effects of Laryngeal Restriction on Pharyngeal Peristalsis and Biomechanics: Clinical Implications [PDF]
, 2016 To date, rehabilitative exercises aimed at strengthening the pharyngeal muscles have not been developed due to the inability to successfully overload and fatigue these muscles during their contraction, a necessary requirement for strength training.

Morphology of the Esophageal Hiatus: Is It Different in 3 Types of Hiatus Hernias? [PDF]
, 2020 Background/aimsThe esophageal hiatus is formed by the right crus of the diaphragm in the majority of subjects. Contraction of the hiatus exerts a sphincter-like action on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The aim is to study the hiatal anatomy (using

Effect of Esophageal Movement on Intraluminal Esophageal Pressure Recording
Gastroenterology, 1974 In order to determine the effect of esophageal movement on tracings of intraluminal pressure, the esophageal body, lower esophageal sphincter, and diaphragmatic hiatus were labeled with metal markers in cats. Metal markers also identified the location of manometric tube recording orifices.

Development of a compact stand-alone esophageal pressure measurement device
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2018 Mechanical ventilation requires optimal parameter setting for every single patient. For instance sufficient positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may ensure oxygenation and prevent overdistension of lungs or alveolar collapse.
