Feasibility and clinical value of pyloric functional luminal imaging probe in an infant
Abstract Pyloric dysfunction is becoming increasingly recognized as a cause of gastroparesis, but its diagnostic and therapeutic role in infants has not been well studied. Identification and treatment of pyloric dysfunction with functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) technology or use of pyloric inhibition are not routinely used in infants due to lack

Oestrogen and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Dynamics in Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common clinical disorder characterised by the reflux of stomach contents into the oesophagus, primarily due to the temporary relaxation of the Lower Oesophageal Sphincter (LES).

Objectives Zenker's diverticulum is associated with reduced cricopharyngeal compliance and abnormal intrabolus pressure. However, it is unclear how the pharynx compensates for these deficits.

Pan-colonic pressurizations associated with relaxation of the anal sphincter in health and disease: a new colonic motor pattern identified using high-resolution manometry [PDF]
Background: Only few studies have applied high-resolution manometry (HRM) to the study of colonic motility in adults and none of them have concurrently evaluated colonic and anal motor activity.

ABSTRACT The 5‐hydroxytryptamine type 4 receptor agonist mosapride is known to modulate esophageal peristalsis and enhance lower esophageal sphincter compliance. However, its impact on oropharyngeal swallowing physiology remains insufficiently characterized.

Mano-Impedancemetric Diagnosis of Esophageal Function in Children With Dyspepsia
Background. Introduction of new methods of diagnosing functional disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract into children’s practice will reveal the true cause of changes in esophageal motility in its various pathologies, which will significantly ...

Background: Achalasia is characterized by aperistalsis with poor relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). We aimed to systematically assess whether LES metrics on high-resolution manometry (HRM) correlate with the symptomatic or endoscopic ...

Clinical and manometric postoperative evaluation of posterior sagital anorectoplasty (PSARP) in patients with upper and intermediate anorectal malformations [PDF]
PSARP is currently the most widely-used surgical technique for surgical correction of high and intermediary anorectal malformations, but there is much controversy in the literature about the postoperative evaluation of these cases. We studied 27 cases of

Trends in Laryngology Fellowship Training: A Survey Study of Graduates and Directors
A survey study of laryngology fellowship Graduates and Directors reveals overall high level of confidence in preparedness to practice in the care of most laryngologic disorders. Respondents reported less exposure to swallowing disorders in fellowship with resulting lower confidence to practice independently in this area, despite seeing a good ...
