Ambulatory high‐resolution manometry, lower esophageal sphincter lift and transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation [PDF]
Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2011 AbstractBackground Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) lift seen on high‐resolution manometry (HRM) is a possible surrogate marker of the longitudinal muscle contraction of the esophagus. Recent studies suggest that longitudinal muscle contraction of the esophagus induces LES relaxation.Aim Our goal was to determine: (i) the feasibility of prolonged ...

Pharmacologic identification of the lower esophageal sphincter [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1970 The distal 2/3 of the opossum esophagus contains only smooth muscle. Manometry shows that the most distal 1-2 cm is the lower esophageal sphincter. We used a variety of agonists to seek differences between circular muscle from the sphincteric segment and more rostral levels.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease and tooth erosion [PDF]
, 2011 The increasing prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children and adults, and of “silent refluxers” in particular, increases the responsibility of dentists to be alert to this potentially severe condition when observing unexplained ...

Action of Metiamide on the Lower Esophageal Sphincter
Gastroenterology, 1975 The action of metiamide, an H2 antagonist, was tested for its effect upon lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function in the anesthetized opossum. Intravenous infusions of metiamide gave a dose-related increase in LES pressure. A maximum increase in pressure of 17 mm Hg was attained at 2.0 mg per kg-hr of metiamide.

Evaluation of the neo-glottal closure based on the source description in esophageal voice [PDF]
, 2008 The characteristics of esophageal voice render its study by traditional acoustic means to be limited and complicate. These limitations are even stronger when working with patients lacking minimal skills to control the required technique. Nevertheless the

Pediatric Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease [PDF]
, 2016 Gastroesophageal reflux is the return of stomach contents into the esophagus. It is normal in the newborn due to an immature gastroesophageal sphincter.

Gastroenterology, 1982 Abstract Lower esophageal sphincter pressures were measured with a 6-lumen catheter anchored at the high pressure point by a metallic pin. Electrical stimulation (5–40 Hz) of both central ends of the cervical vagus caused contraction of the lower esophageal sphincter, which was antagonized by section of the spinal cord above the brachial plexus, by ...
