Can intraoperative manometry influence the outcome of the surgical treatment of achalasia? [PDF]
Introduction. Achalasia is defined as incomplete or even absent relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter secondary to the chronic degeneration of unspecified etiology of the myenteric nerve plexus. Material and method.

Oesophageal Manometry in Experimental Pigs: Methods and Initial Experience [PDF]
The aim of this study project was to prepare our own method of porcine oesophageal manometry. Ten mature experimental pigs entered the study. Conventional water-perfused system was decided for manometry. Porcine resting and relaxed pressures of the lower

This study reports the first discovery of intrinsic mechanoluminescence in undoped AlN crystals, accompanied by pronounced photoluminescence and persistent luminescence. It further demonstrates a defect‐emission–driven multifunctional optical sensing platform for force, pressure, and temperature detection, achieving exceptional sensitivities.

Dysphagia Secondary to Esophageal Compression in a Patient with Decompensated Heart Failure [PDF]
Cardiogenic dysphagia is a rare type of esophageal dysphagia caused by external compression of the esophagus by an enlarged left atrium. Long-term comparisons between the degree of cardiogenic dysphagia and heart failure have not been reported due to its

Pleural manometry during thoracocentesis in patients with malignant pleural effusion: A randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Background: Large-volume therapeutic thoracocentesis may be associated with pulmonary congestion or a more serious complication; re-expansion pulmonary edema (RPE). We investigated whether monitoring pleural pressure with manometry during thoracocentesis
