Upper esophageal sphincter pressure in patients with Chagas' disease and primary achalasia

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
The most important component of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) is the cricopharyngeal muscle. During the measurement of sphincter pressure the catheter passed through the sphincter affects the pressure value.

Unraveling the epigenetic code in cancer cell–tumor microenvironment crosstalk

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Epigenetic regulation is a key driver of cancer development and progression. Diverse epigenetic alterations in cancer cells and components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) orchestrate their communication through multiple mechanisms. We discuss how the epigenetic code coordinates bidirectional cancer cell–TME crosstalk to promote cancer progression ...

Esophageal High Pressure Zones: Effect of Perisophageal Structures on Esophageal Manometric Recording

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994
During the course of esophageal motility studies, short zones of elevated esophageal baseline pressure are occasionally noticed. The aim of this study is to determine their frequency and their cause. Among 77 consecutive esophageal manometries (group 1),
