Liver transplantation [PDF]

, 1979
Human liver transplantation, which was first performed in man in Denver 15 years ago, has finally come of age in the past 2 years. The 1 year survival has improved from 28 per cent to 50 per cent in the recent Denver Second Series.

Dysphagia Characteristics in High Versus Low Vagal Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
High vagal etiology of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is linked to greater swallowing dysfunction compared to low vagal etiology of UVFP, with higher rates of premature spillage, pharyngeal residue, penetration and aspiration on instrumental swallow assessment; and higher prevalence of diet and behavioral modifications recommended.

ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY IN MEN AND WOMEN EVALUATED BY HIGH-RESOLUTION MANOMETRY

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2017
BACKGROUND Esophageal motility has been described in the literature as having differences between men and women. Most of these investigations use the water perfusion method for esophageal manometry.

Pharyngeal motility in patients submitted to type I thyroplasty

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2021
Introduction: Type 1 thyroplasty is performed to improve glottis closure as well as dysphagic symptoms in patients with unilateral vocal fold immobility. Objectives: This study aims to compare the motility of the pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter in

Alginate Therapy for Gastroesophageal Reflux in Pregnancy: A Scoping Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Alginate therapies are a promising option for managing gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), but most treatments are not recommended during pregnancy. This scoping review aimed to summarize the current outcomes research on the use of alginate therapy for treating GERD during pregnancy.

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.

GERD and Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly prevalent, yet its association with upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers beyond esophageal adenocarcinoma remains incompletely defined. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to quantify the risk of specific UADT cancers in individuals with GERD.

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),

NORMATIVE VALUES FOR A NEW WATER-PERFUSED HIGH RESOLUTION MANOMETRY SYSTEM

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2018
BACKGROUND: Esophageal manometry is the most reliable method to evaluate esophageal motility. High resolution manometry (HRM) provides topographic contour colored plots (Clouse Plots) with simultaneous analysis from the pharynx to the stomach.
