Abstract Endoscopic antireflux therapy is a novel endoscopic treatment for refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease. We developed antireflux myoplasty (AR‐MP), a modified version of antireflux mucoplasty (ARM‐P), in which exposed bilateral sling fibers are sutured directly via endoscopic hand‐suturing.

High-resolution manometry in the diagnosis of oesophageal motility disorders
Esophageal high-resolution manometry is a modern method of diagnosis performed worldwide as the gold standard for assessing esophageal motility. The Chicago classification is applied to interpret the manometric findings.

Predicting the Activation States of the Muscles Governing Upper Esophageal Sphincter Relaxation and Opening [PDF]
Copyright © 2016 the American Physiological SocietyThe swallowing muscles that influence upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening are centrally controlled and modulated by sensory information. Activation and deactivation of neural inputs to these muscles,

ABSTRACT We report a case of a 70‐year‐old woman with esophageal achalasia and concurrent superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Three adjacent superficial lesions were resected en bloc by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), with no lymphovascular invasion.

Brazilian surgeons deal routinely with esophageal motility disorders, because achalasia is highly prevalent in Brazil due to Chagas' disease. In the last years new technologies for the evaluation of esophageal motility became available.

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

ABSTRACT Introduction Anti‐reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) and anti‐reflux mucosal ablation (ARMA) are novel endoscopic treatments for proton pump inhibitor or potassium‐competitive acid blocker‐refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease. These procedures induce scarring of the artificial ulcer at the gastric cardia, which tightens the enlarged cardiac ...

Background/Aims: Asymptomatic esophageal eosinophilia (aEE) is considered to be a potential precursor of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). However, there are few clinical parameters that can be used to evaluate the disease.

Methods for Measuring Swallowing Pressure Variability Using High-Resolution Manometry
Any movement performed repeatedly will be executed with inter-trial variability. Oropharyngeal swallowing is a complex sensorimotor action, and swallow-to-swallow variability can have consequences that impact swallowing safety.
