Mar 14th, 2023 - As the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has steadily increased in the United States, so has the awareness of central sleep apnea (CSA). The hallmark of CSA is transient cessation of airflow during sleep due to a lack of respiratory effo.

Mar 13th, 2023 - Although swallowing disorders can impact individuals of any age, some are unique to the elderly, and others are frequent. Some disorders, such as achalasia, are diagnosed by esophageal manometry studies, which assess lower esophageal sphincter (LE...

Mar 10th, 2023 - Patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria and, after informed consent, are willing to participate in this study will be prepared for ARMA. After sedation the patients will be randomized equally into an intervention and control Group. The patient...

Mar 7th, 2023 - To evaluate the long-term efficacy of transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) with Medigus Ultrasonic Surgical Endostapler (MUSE) for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A total of 16 patients with proton pump inhibitor-dependent gastroeso...

Mar 1st, 2023 - While high-resolution manometry (HRM) is widely accepted as a safe procedure, no study has assessed the safety profile of HRM in clinical practice. This study aimed to determine the safety and tolerability of HRM and to investigate potential deter...

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 ...

Mar 10th, 2023 - Patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria and, after informed consent, are willing to participate in this study will be prepared for ARMA. After sedation the patients will be randomized equally into an intervention and control Group. The patient...

Feb 9th, 2023 - The present study will utilize esophageal manometry to measure the presence and magnitude of persistent patient effort during lung protective ventilation, allowing identification and mitigation of occult lung stress.

Jan 19th, 2023 - Conventionally, topical nasopharyngeal anesthesia is applied to improve the tolerance of esophageal manometry and ambulatory pH monitoring. However, there is currently no data to support this practice. This randomized controlled trial of lidocaine...

Nov 30th, 2022 - 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 ...

Nov 10th, 2022 - In the clinical setting, Pes is a surrogate for pleural pressure, while SP is measured by means of chest CT scan images. The SP highly approximates the vertical pleural pressure gradient both in normal lungs and injured lungs in lean subjects. It ...

Mar 14th, 2023 - As the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has steadily increased in the United States, so has the awareness of central sleep apnea (CSA). The hallmark of CSA is transient cessation of airflow during sleep due to a lack of respiratory effo.

Sep 19th, 2022 - Individuals with esophageal dysmotility had significantly higher scores on measures of airway reflux symptoms, based on data from 441 patients. Many patients with chronic respiratory diseases experience persistent symptoms despite optimal treatmen.

Aug 26th, 2022 - Since the advent of invasive positive pressure ventilation, intensivists have been arguing over how to optimize settings. For patients with moderate to- severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the lung is particularly fragile, so this g...

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...
