Self-expandable metal stent placement in a child for treatment of achalasia after failed Heller myotomy

Endoscopy International Open, 2018
Background and study aims Childhood achalasia treatment remains inconclusive. What is next after myotomy failure? Repeated pneumatic-dilation put patients at greater risk of perforation with possible symptom recurrence. We report on a 12-year-old patient

Endoscopic Pseudo‐dilation of Esophagogastric Junction During Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy: (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim During peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) for achalasia, endoscopic esophagogastric junction (EGJ) opening is generally considered a sign of successful myotomy. However, in clinical practice, the EGJ may appear to open immediately after submucosal tunneling, even before myotomy is performed.

Modeling and simulation of drying operation in PVC powder production line: a pneumatic dryer model [PDF]

, 2012
A one-dimensional steady-state model is developed to simulate drying of PVC powder in a pneumatic dryer. In this model, a two-phase continuum model was used to describe the steady-state flow of a dilute dispersed phase (wet PVC powder) and a continuous ...

Efficacy of pneumatic dilatation in Saudi achalasia patients

Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2014
Pneumatic dilatation (PD) is one of the effective treatments of achalasia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pneumatic dilation and patient satisfaction in Saudi achalasia patients.We have retrospectively recruited patients with confirmed achalasia, who underwent at least one dilatation session from January 1990 to January 2010 at a

Calibration‐Free Estimation of Cerebrovascular Reactivity From Resting‐State BOLD fMRI Using Reconstructed Respiratory Fluctuations

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 6, Page 2755-2766, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) provides an important index of vascular health and is conventionally quantified using a hypercapnic gas or breath‐hold challenge in conjunction with blood‐oxygen‐level‐dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD‐fMRI).

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Versus Mandibular Advancement Devices Impact on Cardio‐Metabolic Outcomes in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea contributes to cardiovascular morbidity, and its treatment may mitigate this risk. Continuous positive airway pressure and mandibular advancement devices are established therapies, but their comparative cardiometabolic effects remain uncertain.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 35, 18 September 2026.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...
