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.

Opioid-induced Lower Esophageal Sphincter Dysfunction
Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2015 The adverse gastrointestinal effects of opioids have been extensively described in medical literature.1 Their effect takes place mainly on the enteric nervous system, through receptors in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses. There are 3 recognized main opium receptors (μ, δ, and κ) that are expressed in the central and enteric nervous systems, which ...
