The Effects of Chronic Opioid Therapy on Achalasia and the Upper Esophageal Sphincter

Medical Sciences
Background: The rise of opioid drug usage in the U.S. correlates with increasing recognition of gastrointestinal side effects, especially in the esophagus. The literature has recently noted that abnormalities in the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) are a

Wirelessly Powered Endoscopically Implantable Devices into the Submucosa as the Possible Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Gastroenterology Research and Practice, 2019
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a rather common disease with a prevalence reaching up to 10 or 20% in the western world. The most specific symptoms which point to the diagnosis of GERD are feelings of heartburn and the regurgitation of acidic ...

Neural control of the lower esophageal sphincter in the cat: Studies on the excitatory pathways to the lower esophageal sphincter

Gastroenterology, 1982
Abstract Lower esophageal sphincter pressures were measured with a 6-lumen catheter anchored at the high pressure point by a metallic pin. Electrical stimulation (5–40 Hz) of both central ends of the cervical vagus caused contraction of the lower esophageal sphincter, which was antagonized by section of the spinal cord above the brachial plexus, by ...

The needle study: Machine learning as a new method for case‐finding in celiac disease

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Volume 83, Issue 1, Page 135-144, July 2026.
Abstract Objectives Despite a well‐defined diagnostic work‐up, uncertainties persist regarding celiac disease (CeD) detection strategies in the general population. Machine learning (ML) algorithms offer promise in aiding medical decision‐making on clinical data.

Plummer-vinson syndrome associated with lower esophageal ring (Schatzki’s Ring) and hiatus hernia

Clinical and Biomedical Research, 2020
We report a case of Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) and lower esophageal ring with a small sliding hiatus hernia. PVS is a rare entity formed by the combination of dysphagia, cervical esophageal web and iron deficiency anemia.

Lower esophageal sphincter pressures in gastroesophageal reflux disease: Where do they stand?

National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2015
Background: Esophageal manometry is mandatory for localization of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) in patients undergoing ambulatory esophageal pH-metry for proper positioning of the pH-sensing catheter.

Accuracy of Novice Raters for Esophageal Motility Classifications Using Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Panometry

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 7, July 2026.
Eight novice raters without motility experience completed brief FLIP panometry training and interpreted 40 studies using v1.0 and v2.0 classification schemes. Accuracy compared to expert consensus was high (v1.0: 0.78, v2.0: 0.73), with good‐to‐moderate interrater agreement (v1.0: κ 0.61, v2.0: κ 0.55).

Assessment of Esophageal Motility Disorders in Patients with Refractory Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Acta Medica Iranica, 2022
There is insufficient data about esophageal body dysmotility in patients with refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (RGERD) who have inadequate response to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) treatment.

Gut Instincts, Machine Decisions: Evaluating AI Accuracy in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Disorders of Gut‐Brain Interaction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 7, July 2026.
Large language models demonstrate moderate diagnostic accuracy (65%–74%) and treatment accuracy (41%–54%) in disorders of gut‐brain interaction (DGBIs), yet consistently high confidence (93%–96%), highlighting a concerning discrepancy between performance and confidence that should be considered in future clinical integration and decision‐making of AI ...

Pnematic Dilation in Achalasia

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2001
Pneumatic dilation is the most common first-line therapy for the treatment of achalasia. The aim of dilation is a controlled disruption of circular muscle fibres of the lower esophageal sphincter to reduce the functional obstruction.
