Prevalence of Gastroesophageal Reflux in Cats During Anesthesia and Effect of Omeprazole on Gastric pH. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundGastroesophageal reflux (GER) is poorly characterized in anesthetized cats, but can cause aspiration pneumonia, esophagitis, and esophageal stricture formation.ObjectiveTo determine whether pre-anesthetic orally administered omeprazole ...

Use of esophageal balloon pressure-volume curve analysis to determine esophageal wall elastance and calibrate raw esophageal pressure: a bench experiment and clinical study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2018
BackgroundAccurate measurement of esophageal pressure (Pes) depends on proper filling of the balloon. Esophageal wall elastance (Ees) may also influence the measurement.

Novel technique for continuous pressure monitoring of esophageal balloon in balloon tamponade device for acute variceal bleed

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open, 2022
Acute variceal bleeding is a life‐threatening emergency associated with high mortality. Balloon tamponade is required for refractory bleeding to allow stabilization for definitive therapy.

Sex differences in exercise-induced diaphragmatic fatigue in endurance-trained athletes [PDF]

, 2010
There is evidence that female athletes may be more susceptible to exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia and expiratory flow limitation and have greater increases in operational lung volumes during exercise relative to men.

Effect of straining on diaphragmatic crura with identification of the straining-crural reflex. The "reflex theory" in gastroesophageal competence

BMC Gastroenterology, 2004
Background The role of the crural diaphragm during increased intra-abdominal pressure is not exactly known. We investigated the hypothesis that the crural diaphragm undergoes reflex phasic contraction on elevation of the intra-abdominal pressure with a ...

Hiatoplasty with crura buttressing versus hiatoplasty alone during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy [PDF]

, 2017
Introduction. In obese patients with hiatal hernia (HH), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) with cruroplasty is an option but use of prosthetic mesh crura reinforcement is debated.

A fully resolved active musculo-mechanical model for esophageal transport

, 2015
Esophageal transport is a physiological process that mechanically transports an ingested food bolus from the pharynx to the stomach via the esophagus, a multi-layered muscular tube. This process involves interactions between the bolus, the esophagus, and

Gastroesophageal reflux disease and tooth erosion [PDF]

, 2011
The increasing prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children and adults, and of “silent refluxers” in particular, increases the responsibility of dentists to be alert to this potentially severe condition when observing unexplained ...

The occlusion tests and end-expiratory esophageal pressure: measurements and comparison in controlled and assisted ventilation

Annals of Intensive Care, 2016
Background Esophageal pressure is used as a reliable surrogate of the pleural pressure. It is conventionally measured by an esophageal balloon placed in the lower part of the esophagus. To validate the correct position of the balloon, a positive pressure
