Peroral endoscopic myotomy for cricopharyngeal bar

VideoGIE, 2020
Background and Aims: Definitive treatment options for refractory dysphagia due to cricopharyngeal bar are limited. We aimed to demonstrate a novel adaptation of peroral endoscopic myotomy to treat this condition (cricopharyngeal peroral endoscopic ...

Morphology of the Upper Esophageal Sphincter or Cricopharyngeus Muscle Revisited

, 2019
Histological examination of specimens from 22 donated elderly cadavers and 15 human fetuses revealed that the cricopharyngeus muscle (CPM) provided (1) posterior circular muscle fibers adjacent to the external aspect of the uppermost esophageal circular ...

PHARYNGEAL, UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTERIC AND ESOPHAGEAL PRESSURES RESPONSES RELATED TO VOCAL TASKS AT THE LIGHT OF HIGH RESOLUTION MANOMETRY

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2021
BACKGROUND: High-resolution manometry (HRM) represents a potential tool for measuring pharyngoesophageal phonation pressures. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate pharyngeal, esophageal upper sphincteric and esophageal pressures during different ...

Nutcracker upper esophageal sphincter

Annals of Esophagus, 2019
Background: Different manometric patterns characterize named well-defined motility disorders of the esophageal body. The detailed study of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES); however, has been neglected. It is elusive whether a similar condition as the nutcracker esophagus exists in the UES.

Clinical utility of pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance for upper esophageal sphincter dysfunction in gastroenterology

Advances in Digestive Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance (P‐HRM‐I) is an established assessment method used to evaluate pharyngeal swallowing. It provides precise quantification of swallowing biomechanics that enable the detection of alterations in swallowing physiology.

Observations on Two Previously Unreported Anatomical Factors Relating to the Esophagogastric Junction

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is the anatomical zone where the esophagus ends and the stomach begins. Its competence in preventing gastro‐esophageal reflux has been shown to depend on a number of factors which have been extensively investigated and widely accepted.

Videofluoroscopic analysis of different volumes of liquid bolus swallowing in healthy individuals: comparison between height and sex

Clinics
OBJECTIVE: The volume of swallowed bolus affects the pharyngeal transit duration. The sex and corporal height of individuals may likely influence this effect.

Pressure abnormalities in patients with Zenker's diverticulum using pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 2020
Objectives Zenker's diverticulum is associated with reduced cricopharyngeal compliance and abnormal intrabolus pressure. However, it is unclear how the pharynx compensates for these deficits.

Longitudinal Swallowing and Salivary Changes With CLR 131 and Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) often present with severe, persistent dysphagia and xerostomia following prior chemoradiation. Although swallowing impairments and salivary dysfunction have been reported in this population, prior longitudinal studies have not examined changes in salivary composition or how these ...
