Jan 25th, 2023 - Eosinophilic esophagitis is an antigen driven esophagitis, that is characterized by symptoms of dysphagia often leading to food impaction, and that leads to strictures and esophageal motility disorders, with a significant impact on quality of life...

Jan 20th, 2023 - Two common surgical procedures used to treat esophageal motility disorders are laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) with partial fundoplication and per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). The difference in frequency of follow-up interventions following t...

Dec 30th, 2022 - Opioid-induced esophageal dysmotility (OIED) includes spastic esophageal motility disorders, increasingly recognized in the contemporary opioid epidemic. We assessed functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) findings in diagnosing OIED. Symptomatic pa...

Nov 29th, 2022 - Esophageal motility disorders can be characterized by poor esophageal motility with impaired clearance of the esophagus. Examples are Ineffective Esophageal Motility (IEM, >70% of the swallows are ineffective or ≥50% are failed) and Absent Contrac...

Nov 14th, 2022 - The purpose of our study was to evaluate the use of minimally invasive Marshmallow Swallow Study (MSS) as a preoperative screening technique for patients and correlate marshmallow results with High Resolution Manometry (HRM) results and post-opera...

Jul 1st, 2021 - The recommended diagnostic criteria for achalasia have been recently updated by Chicago Classification version 4.0 (CCv4.0), the widely accepted classification scheme for esophageal motility disorders using metrics from high-resolution manometry (...

Aug 15th, 2022 - • The primary outcome of the study is the incidence of significant reflux esophagitis (≥grade B) in cases with standard and extended gastric myotomies at 6 months after POEM Secondary outcomes: Significant esophageal acid exposure (>6%) as defined...

Aug 5th, 2022 - Dysphagia, or difficulty with swallowing, is a common symptom affecting nearly 9.4 million individuals or 4% of the US population. High resolution esophageal manometry is currently considered the gold standard test for evaluation and diagnosis of ...

Nov 15th, 2021 - Tidutamab (previously XmAb18087) was found to be well tolerated with a best overall response of stable disease in patients with advanced, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of pancreatic, gastrointestinal (GI), lung and undetermined ...

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 ...

Jan 15th, 2021 - Most patients with normal findings on functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) showed no clinical evidence of a major esophageal motor disorder, even when their high-resolution manometry (HRM) test results were abnormal, according to the results of.
