Jan 17th, 2022 - Symptomatic evaluation using Eckardt score and achalasia-specific health-related quality-of-life and physiological evaluation using timed barium examination (TBE) and high-resolution manometry is integral to the diagnosis of achalasia. However, th...

Jan 10th, 2022 - Achalasia is the inability of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax in the context of dysfunction of esophageal peristalsis. Peroral endoscopic myotomy for the treatment of achalasia has an efficacy above 90%, being comparable with Heller's myot...

Jan 10th, 2022 - Gastroparesis is a chronic, condition characterized by a delayed gastric emptying without a mechanical obstruction. This disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality with a prevalence up to 4% of population. Patients with this disease h...

Jan 5th, 2022 - Laparoscopic Heller myotomy is an effective treatment for achalasia. There are little data on the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge after laparoscopic Heller myotomy. This study aimed to describe the experience with same-day discharge a...

Jan 4th, 2022 - Outcomes after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) are assessed clinically by the Eckardt score (ES) or objectively by high-resolution manometry (HRM) and functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP). This study compared HRM and FLIP to evaluate clinical r...

Feb 11th, 2021 - Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is increasingly used as primary treatment for esophageal achalasia, in place of the options such as Heller myotomy (HM) and pneumatic dilatation (PD) OBJECTIVE: These evidence-based guidelines from the Society of ...

Aug 11th, 2020 - Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder characterized by aberrant peristalsis and insufficient relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Patients most commonly present with dysphagia to solids and liquids, regurgitation, and occasional ch...

Dec 17th, 2019 - Achalasia is a primary esophageal motor disorder of unknown etiology characterized by degeneration of the myenteric plexus, which results in impaired relaxation of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), along with the loss of organized peristalsis in...

Aug 2nd, 2019 - These guidelines on oesophageal manometry and gastro-oesophageal reflux monitoring supersede those produced in 2006. Since 2006 there have been significant technological advances, in particular, the development of high resolution manometry (HRM) a...

Sep 1st, 2018 - Achalasia is a relatively rare primary motor esophageal disorder, characterized by absence of relaxations of the lower esophageal sphincter and of peristalsis along the esophageal body. As a result, patients typically present with dysphagia, regur...

Jan 10th, 2022 - Gastroparesis is a chronic, condition characterized by a delayed gastric emptying without a mechanical obstruction. This disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality with a prevalence up to 4% of population. Patients with this disease h...

Dec 29th, 2021 - .STUDY DESIGN: This study is a Prospective single arm observational study. .STUDY PERIOD: Jan 2021-May 2021. 3. SAMPLE SIZE: 100 participants. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Male and female patients aged 18-60 years with confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic ach...

Dec 13th, 2021 - Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy has been established as a safe and effective treatment of Achalasia type I and II; however, it is limited by post-procedure gastroesophageal reflux. Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) has been introduced as the...

Nov 11th, 2021 - Subjects will undergo no additional tests and procedures as part of this study. All data will be collected from patient's electronic health records (EHR) of the hospital In addition; a prospective chart review will be performed for patients who wi...

Apr 13th, 2021 - The field of esophagology was transformed by the pioneering work of the late Dr Ray Clouse, who developed color topographic plots to more accurately assess esophageal motility. Clouse's spirit of innovation in this area has since been taken up by ...

Oct 20th, 2020 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has comparable efficacy to laparoscopic Heller's myotomy (LHM) for the treatment of achalasia, and was ranked first in a network meta-analysis of randomized, controlled comparative tri...

Oct 20th, 2020 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has comparable efficacy to laparoscopic Heller's myotomy (LHM) for the treatment of achalasia, and was ranked first in a network meta-analysis of randomized, controlled comparative tri...

Jun 24th, 2020 - Dear colleagues and friends, Dr. Charles J.

Feb 7th, 2020 - Clubbing can be idiopathic or secondary to many underlying pathologies in various organ systems. Causes of idiopathic or primary clubbing include pachydermoperiostosis, familial clubbing, and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. Causes of secondary club...
