Oesophageal tone in patients with achalasia.
BACKGROUND The diagnosis and classification of oesophageal motility disorders is currently based on assessment of the phasic contractile activity of the oesophagus. Tonic muscular contraction of the oesophageal body (oesophageal tone) has not been well characterised. AIM To quantify oesophageal tonic activity in healthy subjects and in patients with achalasia. PATIENTS Oesophageal tone was ...
متن کاملEffect of Gaviscon Infant on gastro-oesophageal reflux in infants assessed by combined intraluminal impedance/pH.
BACKGROUND Gaviscon Infant (GI) has been recommended for gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) in infants. Its efficacy has not been examined with a physiologically appropriate denominator to define the degree of GOR. AIM To investigate the influence of Gaviscon Infant on GOR in infants using combined pH and intraluminal impedance measurement. METHODS Twenty infants (mean age 163.5 days, range 34...
متن کاملFamilial infantile oesophageal achalasia.
Oesophageal achalasia is uncommon in children and in its familial form it is a rarity. The presentation and management of two male siblings who presented with oesophageal achalasia as infants are reported. A high degree of consanguinity in the parents of the children existed, suggesting autosomal recessive transmission.
متن کاملComputation of intraluminal impedance.
The measurement of the electrical impedance inside the esophagus provides information about its status, and is being explored in the study of the gastroesophageal reflux. This paper presents theoretical computation of impedance inside the esophagus. The results of the numerical solution for a simple geometry are compared against the solution formulated from the Green's function approach. The ef...
