Interrater reliability in pediatric high‐resolution anorectal manometry recordings

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives High‐resolution anorectal manometry (HR‐ARM) is a diagnostic test assessing anorectal neuromuscular function in children with constipation and/or fecal incontinence. Interrater reliability of HR‐ARM in children has not been previously studied. The aim of this study was to assess the interrater reliability of pediatric HR‐ARM studies.

The Invalidity of the Laplace Law for Biological Vessels and of Estimating Elastic Modulus from Total Stress vs. Strain: a New Practical Method [PDF]

, 2013
The quantification of the stiffness of tubular biological structures is often obtained, both in vivo and in vitro, as the slope of total transmural hoop stress plotted against hoop strain. Total hoop stress is typically estimated using the "Laplace law."

Pediatric vascular compression of the esophagus: Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe as a complement to imaging and endoscopy

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Vascular anomalies can cause extrinsic esophageal compression, leading to dysphagia or feeding difficulties in children. Diagnosis typically relies on imaging and endoscopy, which may under‐ or overestimate functional narrowing. Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) provides luminal parameters in real‐time, but its ...

Ayurvedic management of achalasia

Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, 2015
Achalasia is an esophageal motor disorder characterized by sustained lower esophageal sphincter contraction and reduced esophageal peristalsis. This pathology eventually results in symptoms like dysphagia, regurgitation and occasional chest pain related ...

Impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on esophageal physiology

Romanian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2021
Introduction. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a popular weight loss surgery technique, but the impact on esophageal physiology and esophagogastric junction is still debatable.

Evaluation of the neo-glottal closure based on the source description in esophageal voice [PDF]

, 2008
The characteristics of esophageal voice render its study by traditional acoustic means to be limited and complicate. These limitations are even stronger when working with patients lacking minimal skills to control the required technique. Nevertheless the

Acute Effects of the 5‐Hydroxytryptamine Type 4 Receptor Agonist Mosapride on Pharyngeal Swallowing Physiology in Adults

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 5‐hydroxytryptamine type 4 receptor agonist mosapride is known to modulate esophageal peristalsis and enhance lower esophageal sphincter compliance. However, its impact on oropharyngeal swallowing physiology remains insufficiently characterized.

Gender effects on esophageal motility

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
It has been suggested that there are no gender effects on esophageal motility. However, in previous studies the subjects did not perform multiple swallows and the quantitative features of esophageal contractions were not evaluated.

Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) in a 19-Month-Old Girl with Primary Achalasia

Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2023
Introduction Primary achalasia is an idiopathic motility disorder of the esophagus characterized by esophageal aperistalsis and incomplete relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) in response to swallowing.
