Muscular Equivalent of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter
Gastroenterology, 1979 In order to measure muscle thickness and to define the muscular architecture at the gastroesophageal function, both en bloc fixation and a new method of preparing dried fiber specimens were used. Specimens were obtained from 32 kidney donors and human cadavers. Wall thickness was measured at 32 identical locations in the esophagus and stomach.

The Action of a Carminative on the Lower Esophageal Sphincter
Gastroenterology, 1969 The effect of essence of peppermint on the lower esophageal sphincter was studied manometrically in 27 subjects. In 25 subjects, within 1 to 7 min following the introduction of the peppermint, a decrease in intrasphincteric pressure was noted. When intrasphincteric pressure approximated intragastric pressure, there was an increase in intraesophageal ...
