High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry in Myasthenia Gravis

ACG Case Reports Journal, 2020
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.

Benchmarks for the interpretation of esophageal high‐resolution manometry [PDF]

Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2016
AbstractBackgroundCompetent interpretation of esophageal high‐resolution manometry (HRM) is integral to a quality study. Currently, methods to assess physician competency for the interpretation of esophageal HRM do not exist. The aim of this study was to use formal techniques to (i) develop an HRM interpretation exam, and (ii) establish minimum ...

Case‐Based Immunology: B Cells and Systemic Sclerosis Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of ILDs of other systemic autoimmune

Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy as a Resource for Assessing the Rest and Activation of Pelvic Floor Muscles in Young Adult Women: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
This study shows that near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is capable of identifying changes in oxygenation of the pelvic floor muscles during rest and contraction, offering a promising noninvasive alternative for clinical assessment and research in women's health.

Dolichocolon is common in pediatric gastroenterology patients with constipation and associated complaints

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Dolichocolon (DC), classified under ICD‐10 code Q43.8 (“Other specified congenital malformations of intestine”), refers to an elongated or redundant large intestine. Recent studies in adults indicate a role for dolichocolon in constipation and disorders of gut‐brain interaction.

Clinical, manometric, genetic, and histologic associations in pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction: A case series

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (PIPO) is a severe bowel motility disorder characterized by impaired propulsion of gastrointestinal contents without mechanical obstruction. PIPO encompasses congenital and acquired disorders, including neuropathies, myopathies, and mesenchymopathies.

When manual disimpaction isn't enough: Case report and review of neostigmine's role in refractory constipation management

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe refractory constipation can lead to fecal retention requiring hospitalization, nasogastric cleanout, or manual disimpaction, and in some cases, surgery. Neostigmine, a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is commonly used for pseudo‐obstruction but rarely for refractory constipation. Here, we report a 21‐year‐old male with chronic
