Pharyngeal High-Resolution Manometry-Based Evaluation of Dysphagia Recovery After Lateral Medullary Syndrome: A Case Series of Two Patients. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT To evaluate dysphagia, pharyngeal high‐resolution impedance manometry (P‐HRM‐I) is used in conjunction with videofluoroscopic examination of swallowing (VF) or videoendoscopic evaluation of swallowing to obtain additional objective data that cannot be captured by conventional assessment methods.

Oesophageal Manometry in Experimental Pigs: Methods and Initial Experience

Acta Medica, 2016
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

Effects of the GABA(B) agonist baclofen on volitional swallowing in normal subjects

Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023
The GABA(B) receptor agonist baclofen is known to suppress the rate of spontaneous swallowing but not pharyngeal muscle contraction. The extent to which baclofen may alter volitional swallowing is not currently known.

Does the minimal occlusive volume technique provide adequate endotracheal tube cuff pressure to prevent air leakage?: a prospective, randomized, crossover clinical study [PDF]

Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2020
Background Methods of determining proper endotracheal tube (ETT) cuff pressure to prevent air leakage include the minimal occlusive volume (MOV) technique, which uses auscultation, and the spirometer technique, which directly measures inspiratory and ...

Correlation of palpation anterior fontanometry and cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure in early childhood hydrocephalus

Nigerian Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2022
Background: The anterior fontanelle (AF) tension has been a traditional clinical method of indirect assessment of intracranial pressure (ICP). How does this time-tested bedside assessment technique compare with an objective ventricular cerebrospinal ...

Dysmotility in Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an immune mediated chronic inflammatory disease resulting from antigen exposure and is characterized by mucosal inflammation with eosinophils. Diagnosis is based on the histological finding of at least 15 eosinophils per

The Clinical Relevance of the Rectosigmoid Brake in Surgical Disorders and Therapies: A Systematic Review of Colonic Manometry Studies. [PDF]

Neurogastroenterol Motil
Colonic motility mapping reveals a meal‐induced rectosigmoid brake in healthy individuals that is disrupted, disorganized, or exaggerated following surgery and in motility disorders. These alterations underlie conditions such as ileus, pseudo‐obstruction, and fecal incontinence, and may be modulated by sacral neuromodulation.

The Role of Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (FLIP) in Addition to High-Resolution Manometry and Timed Barium Esophagram in Treated Achalasia Patients With Persistent or Recurrent Symptoms. [PDF]

Neurogastroenterol Motil
Functional lumen imaging probe did not offer additional yield over high‐resolution manometry and timed barium esophagram in identifying which treated achalasia patients with persistent or recurrent symptoms were likely to benefit from further treatment.
