May 15th, 2022 - Little attention has been given to esophageal disorders in diabetes mellitus. Pathophysiology of esophageal motility disorders (EMD) in patients with diabetes mellitus is multifactorial. The aims of the present study were: (a) to evaluate the prev...

May 4th, 2022 - Refractory reflux-like symptoms have a substantial impact on patients and healthcare providers. The aim of the survey was to qualitatively assess the needs and attitudes of practicing clinicians around the management of refractory reflux symptoms ...

Apr 27th, 2022 - Esophageal motility disorders (EMD) may be considered primary disorders only in the absence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). If GERD is present, treatment should be directed toward correction of the abnormal reflux. The actual prevalence...

Apr 2nd, 2022 - The surgical treatment of achalasia by both laparoscopic and endoscopic approaches has been recognized as the definitive management in children. Despite reported low volumes in many centers, there has been an increasing worldwide experience with e...

Mar 26th, 2022 - Excessive inspiratory effort could translate into self-inflicted lung injury, thus worsening clinical outcomes of spontaneously breathing patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Although esophageal manometry is a reliable method to estimate...

Aug 10th, 2020 - Esophageal symptoms are common and may indicate the presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), structural processes, motor dysfunction, behavioral conditions, or functional disorders. Esophageal physiologic tests are often performed when ...

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...

Jun 22nd, 2016 - As an increase in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been reported in Japan, and public interest in GERD has been increasing, the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology published the Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines for GERD (1st ...

Jan 19th, 2022 - Traumatic chest injuries are responsible for significant morbidity and the cause of trauma-related death in 20%-25% of cases. Thoracic trauma can include multiple injuries, mainly osseous (ribs, sternal fractures, flail chest), pulmonary contusion...

Oct 26th, 2021 - The rationale for undertaking this study is to demonstrate the agreement between the respiratory effort signal amplitude derived from DreamKit vs. the gold-standard esophageal manometry. Data collection will be completed within a single visit, in ...

Oct 22nd, 2021 - Objectives: This pilot study will help refine a computer based ventilator management protocol which will be used in both acute and weaning phases of ventilation for children with acute respiratory failure. The acute phase protocol is an adaptation...

Sep 30th, 2021 - Data of mechanical power will be collected prospectively in three different times: In supine positioning (T0). After 15 minutes of having implemented prone positioning while maintaining the same ventilatory settings that in supine (T1). In prone p...

Aug 18th, 2021 - 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 ...

Mar 17th, 2022 - I'm going to assume if you're reading this that you already know what transpulmonary pressure (PL) is and how esophageal manometry works. I'll provide a brief description here, but if you're looking for an in-depth review , I'd recommend a few of ...

Jun 2nd, 2021 - Nasogastric intubation for esophageal manometry or impedance monitoring does not generate significant aerosol particles and is associated with minimal droplet spread, according to a Belgian study presented at the annual Digestive Disease Week® (DD...

Jun 1st, 2021 - Nasogastric intubation for esophageal manometry or impedance monitoring does not generate significant aerosol particles and is associated with minimal droplet spread, according to a Belgian study presented at the annual Digestive Disease Week® (DD.

Dec 2nd, 2019 - Esophageal manometry If endoscopic and esophageal biopsy results are inconclusive, a workup for an esophageal motility disorder is the next step. Dysphagia is the most common symptom of these disorders, although the initial presenting symptom may.
