The contribution of lysophosphatidic acid receptors in the response of human lower esophageal sphincter under the electrical field stimulation [PDF]
BMC Gastroenterology, 2023 Background This study aims to identify the impact on the reaction while the clasp and sling fibers of the human lower esophageal sphincter are under the electrical field stimulation, by adding lysophosphatidic acid receptor subtypes antagonist.

Comparison of scope holding sign on endoscopy and lower esophageal sphincter contraction on high‐resolution manometry: A pilot study [PDF]
DEN Open, 2022 Objectives Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) plays a key role in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) pathogenesis. In retroflexion and under sufficient insufflation, it can be seen how the lower esophagus grasps the endoscope, which we named scope ...

Opioid-induced Lower Esophageal Sphincter Dysfunction. [PDF]
J Neurogastroenterol Motil, 2015 The adverse gastrointestinal effects of opioids have been extensively described in medical literature.1 Their effect takes place mainly on the enteric nervous system, through receptors in the myenteric and submucosal plexuses. There are 3 recognized main opium receptors (μ, δ, and κ) that are expressed in the central and enteric nervous systems, which ...

High-resolution esophageal manometry in patients with achalasia
Вестник хирургии имени И.И. Грекова, 2021 Introduction. At present, high-resolution esophageal manometry is the «gold standard» for the diagnosis of esophageal achalasia, based on the determination of the integrated relaxation pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter, the value of which in the
