Laryngopharyngeal reflux diagnostics: review article
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is an actual, modern problem for the practice of an ENT doctor, because majority of complaints lead the patient, first of all, to an otorhinolaryngologist.

Development and Application of a Functional Human Esophageal Mucosa Explant Platform to Eosinophilic Esophagitis. [PDF]
There is an increasing prevalence of esophageal diseases but intact human tissue platforms to study esophageal function, disease mechanisms, and the interactions between cell types in situ are lacking.

Comparison of Achalasia Classification Schemes to Predict Treatment Outcomes. [PDF]
Achalasia classification methods can be beneficial to help prognosticate treatment outcomes. High‐resolution manometry subtypes (Chicago Classification) predicted symptomatic outcome, whereas esophagram‐based classifications (Japanese Esophageal Society (JES), Italian, Brazilian) more strongly predicted objective emptying. This highlights the potential

Quantitative assessment of multichannel intraluminal impedance pH and its clinical implications
We sought to quantify the characteristics of acid reflux episodes in patients with extraesophageal GERD symptoms (EES), hiatal hernia (HH), and erosive esophagitis (EroE) using multichannel intraluminal impedance pH (MII‐pH) and investigate the ...

Preliminary Characterization of Proximal Versus Distal Esophageal Function in Healthy, Asymptomatic Adults. [PDF]
The preliminary data represent the first attempt to quantify normal proximal esophageal function using HRM pressure and temporal contractility measurements in two positions. All proximal values (PCI, contraction time, and contraction length) were significantly different when comparing the two positions (PCI p < 0.0001; time p < 0.0001; length p < 0 ...

Aging-associated changes in microRNA expression profile of internal anal sphincter smooth muscle: Role of microRNA-133a. [PDF]
A comprehensive genomic and proteomic, computational, and physiological approach was employed to examine the (previously unexplored) role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as regulators of internal anal sphincter (IAS) smooth muscle contractile phenotype and basal ...

Effects of Laryngeal Restriction on Pharyngeal Peristalsis and Biomechanics: Clinical Implications [PDF]
To date, rehabilitative exercises aimed at strengthening the pharyngeal muscles have not been developed due to the inability to successfully overload and fatigue these muscles during their contraction, a necessary requirement for strength training.

Case‐Based Immunology: B Cells and Systemic Sclerosis Interstitial Lung Disease
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of ILDs of other systemic autoimmune
