Simultaneous Laryngopharyngeal and Conventional Esophageal pH Monitoring06:46

Simultaneous Laryngopharyngeal and Conventional Esophageal pH Monitoring

3.3K
Laryngopharyngeal pH monitoring has been specifically designed to measure acid exposure above the upper esophageal sphincter and complements diagnostic evaluation in patients that present with mainly extraesophageal reflux symptoms. Patients with suspected laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) were evaluated using distal esophageal and laryngopharyngeal pH testing...

Esophageal Varices-I: Introduction

1.2K
Esophageal varices are dilated, tortuous veins which are found mainly in the submucosa of the lower esophagus but which may also appear higher up or extend into the stomach. They develop due to increased pressure in the portal venous system, often as a result of liver cirrhosis. This condition scars and damages the liver, impeding normal blood flow through the portal vein. To compensate, blood seeks alternative pathways, forming fragile new vessels (varices) in the esophagus and stomach. These...

Tissue-Engineered Graft for Circumferential Esophageal Reconstruction in Rats

7.6K
Esophageal reconstruction is a challenging procedure, and development of a tissue-engineered esophagus that enables regeneration of esophageal mucosa and muscle and that can be implanted as an artificial graft is necessary. Here, we present our protocol to generate an artificial esophagus, including scaffold manufacturing, bioreactor cultivation, and various surgical...

An Introduction to Cell Motility and Migration

35.3K
Cell motility and migration play important roles in both normal biology and in disease. On one hand, migration allows cells to generate complex tissues and organs during development, but on the other hand, the same mechanisms are used by tumor cells to move and spread in a process known as cancer metastasis. One of the primary cellular machineries that make cell movement possible is an intracellular network of myosin and actin molecules, together known as “actomyosin”, which creates...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Ineffective esophageal motility, a common esophageal disorder, involves weak contractions and is linked to severe acid reflux. Treatment focuses on managing reflux, as specific therapies for motility are lacking.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Esophageal Physiology

Background:

  • Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) is the most common esophageal motility disorder.
  • It is characterized by a high percentage of ineffective esophageal contractions on high-resolution manometry.
  • IEM is frequently associated with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define ineffective esophageal motility.
  • To explore the relationship between IEM and gastro-esophageal reflux.
  • To discuss current management strategies for IEM.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis relies on high-resolution esophageal manometry.
  • Assessment includes evaluating esophageal contraction patterns and lower esophageal sphincter relaxation.
  • Clinical association with GERD is noted.

Main Results:

  • IEM is defined by ≥50% ineffective contractions with normal lower esophageal sphincter relaxation.
  • The condition can cause dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
  • IEM is associated with more severe GERD and may be a consequence of reflux.

Conclusions:

  • No specific endoscopic or pharmacologic treatments exist for IEM.
  • Proton pump inhibitors are recommended for associated gastro-esophageal reflux.
  • Further research may elucidate specific treatment pathways.
