Effect of ginger on lower esophageal sphincter pressure.
OBJECTIVE Ginger has been traditionally used to reduce intestinal gas and flatulence. The present study examined the effects of ginger on the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function by esophageal manometry. STUDY DESIGN A randomized controlled trial. SETTING Departments of Physiology and Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital. SUBJECTS Fourteen healthy young male v...
متن کاملMechanics of sphincter action. Studies on the lower esophageal sphincter.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical factors involved in the genesis of lower esophageal sphincter pressure. We determined the relationship between intraluminal pressure and inside diameter, estimated the ratio between the wall thickness to inside radius, and calculated the tension in the wall of the lower esophageal sphincter as a function of the inside diameter. Various de...

متن کاملLower esophageal sphincter pressure measurement under standardized inspiratory maneuveurs.
BACKGROUND Through rhythmic variations, the diaphragm influence lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure acting as an external sphincter. LES pressure recording is characterized by increased pressure in inspiration due to contraction of the diaphragmatic crura that involves the sphincter. AIM To describe a method of measuring LES pressure during standardized inspiratory maneuvers with increa...
متن کاملEffects of dexmedetomidine and propofol on lower esophageal sphincter and gastroesophageal pressure gradient in healthy volunteers.
BACKGROUND Many anesthetics reduce lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP). Reduced pressure and consequent reduction in the gastroesophageal pressure gradient (GEPG) thus promotes gastroesophageal reflux and may contribute to aspiration pneumonia and associated morbidity. Therefore, the authors compared LESP and GEPG during dexmedetomidine and propofol sedation. METHODS Using a randomized...
