Cysteinyl Leukotriene Receptor Type 1 (CysLT1) Mediates Contraction of the Guinea Pig Lower Esophageal Sphincter [PDF]
ObjectiveLeukotriene D4 (LTD4) causes contraction of the cat lower esophageal sphincter. The effects of leukotrienes in the guinea pig lower esophageal sphincter and the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (CysLT) subtype that mediate this contraction are not

Esophageal motility after gastric bypass in Roux-en-Y for morbid obesity: high resolution manometry findings [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bariatric operations may alter esophageal motility; however, there is a paucity of studies of the esophageal motility with high resolution manometry.

Three-Dimensional Myoarchitecture of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter and Esophageal Hiatus Using Optical Sectioning Microscopy. [PDF]
Studies to date have failed to reveal the anatomical counterpart of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). We assessed the LES and esophageal hiatus morphology using a block containing the human LES and crural diaphragm, serially sectioned at 50 μm ...

A functional study of the esophagus in patients with non-cardiac chest pain and dysphagia [PDF]
Background/Aims: Nutcracker esophagus and non-specific motility disorders are the main causes of non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP), with gastroesophageal reflux in 60% of cases. Achalasia and diffuse esophageal spasm are the most frequent anomalies described

The Role of Pepsinogenes and Some Intestinal Hormones in Pathogenesis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease [PDF]
80 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were examined. The diagnosis of GERD was based on the history of the disease, complaints of patients, the results of daily monitoring of pH in the lower third of the esophagus, data of ...
