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

open access: yesJPGN 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 ...

Increased expression of aromatase after focal cerebral ischemia: Relevance to neuroprotection and functional recovery

open access: yesNeuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Aromatase is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of 17β‐estradiol, the most potent estrogen, which has pleiotropic neuroprotective properties. Aromatase levels increase in the brain after stroke, and its gene variants increase susceptibility to stroke. This study aims to determine whether aromatase overexpression improves stroke outcome and
