Infections of the esophagus: an update on risk factors, diagnosis, and management.

Diseases of the esophagus, 2018
Infectious esophagitis is a leading cause of esophagitis worldwide. While esophageal infections have traditionally been associated with immunocompromised patients, these disorders are becoming increasingly recognized in immunocompetent individuals.

Black esophagus

Journal of Acute Medicine, 2015
AbstractBlack esophagus is an uncommon clinical entity and its pathogenesis remains unknown. Clinical presentation is usually characterized by the combination of hematemesis and circumferential darkness of the mucosa in the distal esophagus. This case illustrates an atypical presentation of the disease.

Robust pH Sensing Using a Graphene Oxide and Covalent Organic Frameworks Composite for Gastro‐esophageal Reflux Disease Diagnosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A stable composite pH sensor is developed by coating graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets with covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to improve stability and sensitivity in acidic environments. The GO/COFs sensor demonstrates high selectivity, linearity, and biocompatibility, offering a promising strategy for continuous pH monitoring in gastro‐esophageal reflux

PRINCIPLES OF COMBINED ESOPHAGEAL IMPEDANCE-PH MONITORING IN CHILDREN: INDICATIONS, BENEFITS AND LIMITATIONS [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Pediatrics, 2014
The standard test for suspected gastroesophageal refl ux is pH monitoring. However, the majority of gastroesophageal refl ux episodes in infants and children are nonacidic (pH > 4) and extraesophageal symptoms apparently can be caused by both acidic (pH <

Volumetric laser endomicroscopy and its application to Barrett's esophagus: results from a 1,000 patient registry. [PDF]

, 2019
Volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) for real-time, microscopic cross-sectional imaging. A US-based multi-center registry was constructed to prospectively collect data on patients undergoing upper endoscopy during

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Harnessing Next‐Generation 3D Cancer Models to Elucidate Tumor‐Microbiome Crosstalk

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Centralizes the microbiome within 3D tumor‐microbiome model platforms, including spheroids, organoids, 3D‐bioprinted constructs, and microfluidic chips, each enabling structured host‐tumor‐microbe studies. These systems support bacterial colonization, facilitating investigation of microbial impacts on tumor growth, immunity, and therapy. The microbiome

Transcribed ultraconserved noncoding RNAs (T-UCR) are involved in Barrett's esophagus carcinogenesis. [PDF]

, 2014
Barretts esophagus (BE) involves a metaplastic replacement of native esophageal squamous epithelium (Sq) by columnar-intestinalized mucosa, and it is the main risk factor for Barrett-related adenocarcinoma (BAc).
