Morphology of the Esophageal Hiatus: Is It Different in 3 Types of Hiatus Hernias? [PDF]

, 2020
Background/aimsThe esophageal hiatus is formed by the right crus of the diaphragm in the majority of subjects. Contraction of the hiatus exerts a sphincter-like action on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The aim is to study the hiatal anatomy (using

Pan-colonic pressurizations associated with relaxation of the anal sphincter in health and disease: a new colonic motor pattern identified using high-resolution manometry [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Only few studies have applied high-resolution manometry (HRM) to the study of colonic motility in adults and none of them have concurrently evaluated colonic and anal motor activity.

Practical aspects of high resolution esophageal manometry

Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas, 2016
High resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) is currently under development as can be seen in the various Chicago classifications. In order to standardize criteria in certain practical aspects with limited scientific evidence, the First National Meeting for Consensus in High Resolution Manometry of the Spanish Digestive Motility Group took place ...

High‐resolution anal manometry: Repeatability, validation, and comparison with conventional manometry [PDF]

Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2019
AbstractBackgroundAccurate measurement of anal sphincter function is potentially of value in defining treatment of common pelvic floor disorders. The aim of this study was to establish repeatability and validate high‐resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM) by comparison to conventional manometry (CM).

Effects of Laryngeal Restriction on Pharyngeal Peristalsis and Biomechanics: Clinical Implications [PDF]

, 2016
To date, rehabilitative exercises aimed at strengthening the pharyngeal muscles have not been developed due to the inability to successfully overload and fatigue these muscles during their contraction, a necessary requirement for strength training.
