Upper and Lower Esophageal Sphincter Kinetics are Modified During Maturation: Effect of Pharyngeal Stimulus in Premature Infants

Pediatric Research, 2014
Background:We hypothesized that changes in proximal and distal esophageal sphincter kinetics evoked upon pharyngeal provocation undergo longitudinal maturation.Methods:Pharyngeal stimulation-induced reflexes were characterized using novel pharyngo ...

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

Successful Management of Esophageal Perforation with Self-Expandable Metal Stent following Pneumatic Dilation for Achalasia Cardia

Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2019
Achalasia cardia is the most common cause of motor dysphagia. Pneumatic dilation (PD) of lower esophageal sphincter remains the cornerstone of treatment. However, it is associated with esophageal perforation in some cases. We present a case of esophageal

Changes in esophageal and lower esophageal sphincter motility with healthy aging.

Journal of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases, 2014
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Swallowing difficulties become increasingly prevalent in older age. Differences exist in lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function between older and younger patients with dysphagia, but the contribution of aging per se to these is ...

Can intraoperative manometry influence the outcome of the surgical treatment of achalasia? [PDF]

, 2019
Introduction. Achalasia is defined as incomplete or even absent relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter secondary to the chronic degeneration of unspecified etiology of the myenteric nerve plexus. Material and method.

Treatment of esophageal achalasia in children: Today and tomorrow [PDF]

, 2015
Esophageal achalasia (EA) is a rare esophageal motility disorder in children. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) represents the treatment of choice in young patients. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is becoming an alternative to LHM.

Multiple huge epiphrenic esophageal diverticula with motility disease treated with video-assisted thoracoscopic and hand-assisted laparoscopic esophagectomy: a case report

Surgical Case Reports, 2017
Background Epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum is a rare condition that is often associated with a concomitant esophageal motor disorder. Some patients have the chief complaints of swallowing difficulty and gastroesophageal reflux; traditionally, such ...

Comparison of scope holding sign on endoscopy and lower esophageal sphincter contraction on high‐resolution manometry: A pilot study

DEN Open, 2022
Objectives Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) plays a key role in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) pathogenesis. In retroflexion and under sufficient insufflation, it can be seen how the lower esophagus grasps the endoscope, which we named scope ...

Development and Application of a Functional Human Esophageal Mucosa Explant Platform to Eosinophilic Esophagitis. [PDF]

, 2019
There is an increasing prevalence of esophageal diseases but intact human tissue platforms to study esophageal function, disease mechanisms, and the interactions between cell types in situ are lacking.

Specific Movement of Esophagus During Transient Lower Esophageal Sphincter Relaxation in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2013
Background/Aims Transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR) is the main mechanism of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of transient lower esophageal sphincter movement in ...
