Experimental Esophagitis in Cats Impairs Lower Esophageal Sphincter Pressure
Gastroenterology, 1975 We studied the effect of esophageal inflammation on lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure in cats by measuring LES pressure and taking mucosal biopsies before and after the development of experimental esophagitis, as well as after a 3 1/2-week recovery period.

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.Indocyanine green with infrared imaging (ICG‐IRI) provides real‐time fluorescence visualization of the distal myotomy endpoint during peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). In this study of 39 patients, ICG‐IRI achieved a 94.9% success rate in fluorescence detection and significantly improved esophageal relaxation and symptoms.

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Background In recent years, the incidence of early upper gastric cancer has increased, leading to a wider adoption of proximal gastrectomy (PG) as a possible treatment option. PG is preferred over total gastrectomy (TG) due to its superior postoperative nutritional status and improved surgical safety.

Head &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 549-569, February 2026.ABSTRACT Background The percentage of daily automatic speaking valve use (AU) in laryngectomized patients has remained at ~25% since their invention. To increase this percentage, understanding the performance of existent devices is essential. Therefore, we reviewed studies reporting AU, fixation device lifetime (FDL), compliance, and voice and speech ...

Influence of Bolus Consistency and Position on Esophageal High-Resolution Manometry Findings [PDF]
, 2018 Background Conventional esophageal manometry evaluating liquid swallows in the recumbent position measures pressure changes at a limited number of sites and does not assess motility during solid swallows in the physiologic upright position.

Physiological Determinants of Lower Esophageal Sphincter Function
Gastroenterology, 1971 The factors which determine lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function in man are poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to define and compare the physiological characteristics of LES circular smooth muscle to smooth muscle from the adjacent esophagus and stomach of the opossum in vitro as a basis for understanding LES function in vivo.

Dysphagia Outcomes in Zenker Diverticulum: A Longitudinal POuCH Study
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 2, Page 683-687, February 2026.Surgery for cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction, including Zenker's diverticula, has been shown to improve quality of life immediately post‐operatively. We present the first analysis of long‐term outcomes using validated, patient‐reported outcome measures.
