Experimental Esophagitis in Cats Impairs Lower Esophageal Sphincter Pressure

Gastroenterology, 1975
We studied the effect of esophageal inflammation on lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure in cats by measuring LES pressure and taking mucosal biopsies before and after the development of experimental esophagitis, as well as after a 3 1/2-week recovery period.

Esophagus and Its Function Related to Gastro-esophageal Reflux [PDF]

, 2012
The main function of the esophagus is to transport food from the mouth into stomach. Anatomical structures, innervations and blood supplies are needed in order to transport the food into stomach.

Major Basic Protein Deposition Without Eosinophilic Infiltration in Hypercontractile Esophagus: A Case Report

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypercontractile esophagus is a motility disorder characterized by excessive contractions in the esophageal body. Certain cases of hypercontractile esophagus exhibit eosinophilic infiltration in the muscle layer; however, its clinical significance is unclear.

Evaluating the Additional Value of Endoscopic Ultrasonography for Depth Assessment of Esophagogastric Junction Adenocarcinoma

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is sometimes used to assess the depth of invasion in esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (EGJA); however, its diagnostic performance in EGJA remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the additional value of EUS to conventional endoscopy (CE) in assessing invasion depth. Methods In this single‐

Is Single‐Session Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy With Fundoplication Safe and Effective in Achalasia? A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
This meta‐analysis of nine studies (202 patients) demonstrates that peroral endoscopic myotomy with fundoplication (POEM‐F) achieves a technical success of 94.8% and significant symptom improvement (Eckardt score reduction from 8.3 to 1.1). Post‐procedural esophagitis occurred in 20.7% and wrap integrity was preserved in 75.7% on follow‐up, supporting ...

Enhanced Visualization of the Distal Myotomy Endpoint during Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy Using Indocyanine Green With Infrared Imaging

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG‐IRI) provides real‐time fluorescence visualization of the distal myotomy endpoint during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study of 39 patients, ICG‐IRI achieved a 94.9% success rate in fluorescence detection and significantly improved esophageal relaxation and symptoms.

Morphological Evaluation Of Opossum Lower Esophageal Sphincter

Gastroenterology, 1978
Studies were performed in the opossum to evaluate the morphological characteristics of the lower esophageal sphincter. The sphincter and the esophageal body were identified manometrically and fixed in situ by perfusion with aldehyde fixative. Light microscopy revealed that: (1) longitudinal muscle layers of the sphincter and the esophageal body were ...
