There is a need for a lower cost manometry system for assessing anorectal function in primary and secondary care settings. We developed an index finger-based system (termed “digital manometry”) and tested it in healthy volunteers, patients with chronic ...

A pressão do esfíncter esofagiano superior varia durante a manometria esofágica [PDF]
BACKGROUND:The upper esophageal sphincter is composed of striated muscle. The stress of intubation and the need to inhibit dry swallows during an esophageal manometry test may lead to variations in basal pressure of this sphincter.

High-resolution esophageal manometry [PDF]
Esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) is the current state-of-the-art diagnostic tool to evaluate esophageal motility patterns and, as such, is widely adopted in clinical practice. This article will review the interpretation of esophageal HRM in clinical practice.HRM uses a high-resolution catheter to transmit intraluminal pressure data that are ...

High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry in Myasthenia Gravis
ABSTRACTMyasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease that affects the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction. In MG, antibodies bind to acetylcholine receptors inducing muscle weakness. The weakness typically increases with exercise and repetitive muscle use.

High Resolution Oesophageal Manometry: Addressing Thermal Drift [PDF]
Introduction High resolution manometry (HRM) is a sophisticated and widely used technology allowing detailed examination of oesophageal function. A described limitation of the HRM system is its propensity to ‘thermal drift’. Thermal drift is a false change in the measured pressure attributed to the change from ambient to body temperature. In prolonged
