OESOPHAGUS Relevance of ineffective oesophageal motility during oesophageal acid clearance
Background: Oesophageal clearance of acid reflux consists of an initial volume clearance followed by neutralisation of the acidified mucosa by swallowed saliva (chemical clearance). Ineffective oesophageal motility (IOM), a frequent finding in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), has been claimed to underlie prolonged acid clearance by affecting oesophageal emptying and saliv...
متن کاملScintigraphic evaluation of oesophageal transit during radiotherapy to the mediastinum
BACKGROUND To quantitatively evaluate radiation-induced impaired oesophageal transit with oesophageal transit scintigraphy and to assess the relationships between acute oesophagitis symptoms and dysmotility. METHODS Between January 1996 and November 1998, 11 patients affected by non-small-cell carcinoma of the lung not directly involving the oesophagus, requiring adjuvant external beam radiot...

متن کاملScintigraphic assessment of regional cardiac adrenergic innervation.
To assess the feasibility of noninvasively imaging the regional distribution of myocardial sympathetic innervation, we evaluated the distribution of sympathetic nerve endings, using 123I metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), and compared this with the distribution of myocardial perfusion, using 201Tl. Twenty dogs were studied: 11 after regional denervation, and nine as controls. Regional denervation ...
متن کاملEffect of acute stress on oesophageal motility in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
BACKGROUND AND AIM Sixty four per cent of people with heartburn believe that it is exacerbated by stress. An alteration in oesophageal motility is one possible mechanism for this apparent change with stress. This study aimed to assess the effect of acute stressors on oesophageal motility in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). METHODS Sixty patients were studied. Twenty had...
