NORMATIVE VALUES FOR A NEW WATER-PERFUSED HIGH RESOLUTION MANOMETRY SYSTEM

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2018
BACKGROUND: Esophageal manometry is the most reliable method to evaluate esophageal motility. High resolution manometry (HRM) provides topographic contour colored plots (Clouse Plots) with simultaneous analysis from the pharynx to the stomach.

A functional study of the esophagus in patients with non-cardiac chest pain and dysphagia

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2015
Background/Aims: Nutcracker esophagus and non-specific motility disorders are the main causes of non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP), with gastroesophageal reflux in 60% of cases. Achalasia and diffuse esophageal spasm are the most frequent anomalies described

Peroral endoscopic myotomy for cricopharyngeal bar

VideoGIE, 2020
Background and Aims: Definitive treatment options for refractory dysphagia due to cricopharyngeal bar are limited. We aimed to demonstrate a novel adaptation of peroral endoscopic myotomy to treat this condition (cricopharyngeal peroral endoscopic ...

PHARYNGEAL, UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTERIC AND ESOPHAGEAL PRESSURES RESPONSES RELATED TO VOCAL TASKS AT THE LIGHT OF HIGH RESOLUTION MANOMETRY

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2021
BACKGROUND: High-resolution manometry (HRM) represents a potential tool for measuring pharyngoesophageal phonation pressures. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate pharyngeal, esophageal upper sphincteric and esophageal pressures during different ...

Residue localization and risk for aspiration in partial laryngectomy: the relevance of assertive therapeutic strategies and resources

Einstein (São Paulo), 2022
Objective: To describe the correlation between the residues, their anatomical location and the presence of laryngotracheal penetration and aspiration in patients after supracricoid laryngectomy undergoing cricohyoidoepiglotopexy reconstruction. Methods:

Clinical utility of pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance for upper esophageal sphincter dysfunction in gastroenterology

Advances in Digestive Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry with impedance (P‐HRM‐I) is an established assessment method used to evaluate pharyngeal swallowing. It provides precise quantification of swallowing biomechanics that enable the detection of alterations in swallowing physiology.

Observations on Two Previously Unreported Anatomical Factors Relating to the Esophagogastric Junction

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is the anatomical zone where the esophagus ends and the stomach begins. Its competence in preventing gastro‐esophageal reflux has been shown to depend on a number of factors which have been extensively investigated and widely accepted.

Videofluoroscopic analysis of different volumes of liquid bolus swallowing in healthy individuals: comparison between height and sex

Clinics
OBJECTIVE: The volume of swallowed bolus affects the pharyngeal transit duration. The sex and corporal height of individuals may likely influence this effect.
