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),

Action of Metiamide on the Lower Esophageal Sphincter

Gastroenterology, 1975
The action of metiamide, an H2 antagonist, was tested for its effect upon lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function in the anesthetized opossum. Intravenous infusions of metiamide gave a dose-related increase in LES pressure. A maximum increase in pressure of 17 mm Hg was attained at 2.0 mg per kg-hr of metiamide.

Pediatric Esophageal Biomechanics and Remodeling: Integrating Distensibility and Compliance Beyond Luminal Diameter

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
Esophageal distensibility and compliance provide physiologic information beyond luminal diameter alone in pediatric esophageal disease. This review proposes a practical biomechanics‐informed framework integrating FLIP assessment into interpretation of dysphagia, esophageal remodeling, dilation response, and therapeutic decision‐making in children ...

Periodontitis and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to describe mechanisms linking periodontal diseases in pregnancy with adverse pregnancy outcomes. ABSTRACT Periodontal diseases, including both gingivitis and periodontitis, occur commonly among pregnant individuals. Both gingivitis and periodontitis are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) such as early ...

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy in a Patient with Achalasia Cardia with Prior Heller’s Myotomy

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2020
Achalasia cardia is an esophageal myenteric plexus disorder characterized by absence of or incomplete lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and esophageal aperistalsis; Heller’s myotomy is the main treatment of choice due to a lower failure rate ...

Relapses, Comorbidities, and Predictors of Outcome in Anti‐GABAA Receptor Encephalitis

Annals of Neurology, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 139-150, July 2026.
Objectives To characterize the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion dynamics, comorbidities, predictors of relapse, and outcomes in anti‐γ‐aminobutyric acid type A receptor (GABAAR) encephalitis, and assess the utility of LIM‐domain‐only‐protein 5 (LMO5) antibodies as tumor markers.

Achalasia in the elderly patient: a comparative study

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2011
CONTEXT: Achalasia is a primary esophageal motor disorder secondary to the degeneration of ganglion cells of the inhibitory intramural myenteric plexus. It affects both sexes similarly and has two peaks of incidence, one in the 3rd to 4th decades of life

Pharmacologic identification of the lower esophageal sphincter [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1970
The distal 2/3 of the opossum esophagus contains only smooth muscle. Manometry shows that the most distal 1-2 cm is the lower esophageal sphincter. We used a variety of agonists to seek differences between circular muscle from the sphincteric segment and more rostral levels.

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1797-1820, July 2026.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of
