Predicting the Activation States of the Muscles Governing Upper Esophageal Sphincter Relaxation and Opening [PDF]

, 2016
Copyright © 2016 the American Physiological SocietyThe swallowing muscles that influence upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening are centrally controlled and modulated by sensory information. Activation and deactivation of neural inputs to these muscles,

Collagen and microvascular alterations contribute to neuromuscular degeneration and disease progression in chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 5, Page 587-603, May 2026.
Abstract Background Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a severe gastrointestinal motility disorder that may be idiopathic or associated with systemic disease. In idiopathic cases, the pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly defined. Although mutations in angiogenic factors have been reported in mitochondrial forms of CIPO, their role ...

An experimental method to identify neurogenic and myogenic active mechanical states of intestinal motility [PDF]

, 2013
Excitatory and inhibitory enteric neural input to intestinal muscle acting on ongoing myogenic activity determines the rich repertoire of motor patterns involved in digestive function. The enteric neural activity cannot yet be established during movement

Effect of aging on esophageal motility in patients with and without GERD

GMS German Medical Science, 2011
Background/Aims: The impact of aging on esophageal motility is not completely understood. This study aims at assessing 1) whether degeneration of esophageal body motility occurs with age and 2) whether this development is influenced by gastroesophageal ...

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.

Achalasia Cardia: A Case Series

Journal of Nepal Medical Association
Achalasia cardia is a rare disorder that impacts the lower esophageal sphincter and esophageal body. Due to its wide range of symptoms, it can be difficult to diagnose. Here we report three cases of Achalasia Cardia during a period of 9 months.
