Comparison of High-resolution Anorectal Manometry With Water-perfused Anorectal Manometry

BACKGROUND/AIMS To date, high-resolution manometry has been used mainly in the study of esophageal motility disorders and has been shown to provide more physiological information than conventional manometry, and is easier to interpret. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of high-resolution anorectal manometry (HRARM) compared to water-perfused anorectal manometry. METHODS Patients who...

High-resolution Manometry and Globus: Comparison of Globus, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Normal Controls Using High-resolution Manometry

BACKGROUND/AIMS Globus is a foreign body sense in the throat without dysphagia, odynophagia, esophageal motility disorders, or gastroesophageal reflux. The etiology is unclear. Previous studies suggested that increased upper esophageal sphincter pressure, gastroesophageal reflux and hypertonicity of esophageal body were possible etiologies. This study was to quantify the upper esophageal sphinc...

Investigation of pharyngeal swallowing function using high-resolution manometry.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel high-resolution manometry system, and to establish normal values of swallowing pressures along the velopharynx and upper esophagus. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS Thirty-three asymptomatic adult Japanese controls were studied. A solid-state high-resolution manometry assembly with 36 circumferential sen...

Minimum standards of anorectal manometry.

Functional disorders of the anus and rectum affect 10–20% of the population. Tests of anorectal function can provide useful information regarding the pathophysiology of disorders that affect continence and defecation or those that cause anorectal pain. Currently, several tests are available for evaluating anorectal function (Table 1). Often, they complement each other, but among the various tes...
