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.

A functional study of the esophagus in patients with non-cardiac chest pain and dysphagia [PDF]
, 2015 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

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Gastric Motility in Conscious Rats
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.By training rats to remain awake inside an MRI scanner, we can now noninvasively scan their gastrointestinal tracts without using anesthesia. This allows us to assess gastric motility and emptying in conscious rats without the various confounding effects that anesthesia might cause.

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.The novel manometric parameter Milan Score could be useful in predicting which patients with type 2 EGJ have a high likelihood of objective GERD, therefore discriminating which patients may need escalation of GERD investigation and management. ABSTRACT Introduction High‐resolution manometry (HRM) allows assessment of esophagogastric junction (EGJ ...

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.Patients with isolated LPS demonstrated a lower likelihood of EGJ disruption, pathologic GERD, and abnormal Milan score. The Milan score performed similarly well in the identification of GERD in both LPS and typical symptoms. The Milan score could therefore be used as an upfront test in LPS patients.

Sitting and Supine Esophageal Pressures in Overweight and Obese Subjects Authors [PDF]
, 2014 Esophageal pressure can be used to approximate pleural pressure and might be clinically useful, particularly in the obese e.g to guide mechanical ventilator settings in critical illness.

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.The Leuven Consensus provides a classification scheme for the diagnosis of pharyngeal and upper esophageal sphincter (UES) motor disorders using metrics derived from pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry‐impedance (P‐HRM‐I). These recommendations complement routine instrumental investigations and provide a standardized process, criteria, and ...
