Demographic and Manometric Variables Can Independently Predict Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: The AGES-D Score [PDF]
Objectives Conclusive diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be challenging. When reflux monitoring is inconclusive, high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) may provide additional relevant information. We aimed to identify demographic

Abstract The Italian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SIGENP) recognized the need to define research priorities and identify knowledge gaps to guide future investigations in pediatric digestive health. Following international examples, SIGENP aimed to provide a structured framework that aligns scientific innovation with ...

Unintentional Weight Loss Does Not Predict Poor Outcomes in Zenker Diverticulum
In this study of 427 patients with Zenker's diverticulum, 23.6% had significant unintentional preoperative weight loss. Weight loss was associated with preoperative dysphagia and with both the smallest and largest pouches. Postoperative outcomes were similar in patients with and without weight loss, demonstrating a similar efficacy and safety profile ...

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).

Differentiating Persistent and Recurrent Dysphagia in Zenker Diverticulum: A POuCH Study
In longitudinal follow up of 160 patients who underwent surgery for Zenker's diverticulum, 29 patients did not respond (< 50% improvement in EAT‐10 and final EAT‐10 greater than 3). Two cohorts of patients emerged: the majority (23/29), who had persistent symptoms after surgery and never improved to a new baseline, and a smaller cohort (6/29) who had ...

Breathe, Eat, Talk: Three Essential Ingredients to Quality‐of‐Life Outcomes in Movement Disorders
Abstract Background Breathing, eating, and talking (BET) impairments are common yet frequently underrecognized features of movement disorders. Deficits in respiration, swallowing, voice, and speech may emerge early in the course of a disease, adversely affecting safety, participation, and quality of life.
