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 کاملRole of gastrin supersensitivity in the pathogenesis of lower esophageal sphincter hypertension in achalasia.
Intraluminal manometric studies were carried out in 19 patients with untreated achalasia and in 20 normals. Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure was 50.5 +/-4.6 mm Hg in patients with achalasia as compared with 19.4 +/-1.3 mm Hg in the normal group. In both groups, the LES pressure was lowered when exogenous 0.1 N HCl was placed into the stomach. Although the nadir of pressure attained wit...
متن کاملAchalasia in Pregnancy: Botulinum Toxin A Injection of Lower Esophageal Sphincter
Background. Achalasia, a rare esophageal motility disorder that may cause malnutrition during pregnancy, can result in fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Many medical treatment regimens are contraindicated or not tolerated during pregnancy, and surgery is generally avoided due to potential risks to the fetus. Case Report. Severe, medically refractory achalasia in a 23-year-old pregnant...
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 کاملMechanical dilatation of the lower esophageal sphincter and a novel surgical concept for treatment of achalasia.
Accessible online at: www.karger.com/dsu Dear Editor With interest we read the article by Abir et al. [1] entitled ‘Surgical treatment of achalasia: Current status and controversies’ including a brilliant overview on pharmacologic, interventional and surgical treatment modalities.

متن کاملAchalasia during Pregnancy Treated with Botulinum Toxin A Injection at the Lower Esophageal Sphincter
Achalasia is a rare motor disorder of the esophageal smooth muscle that occurs in 1 in 100,000 individuals. The disorder occurs at the level of the lower esophageal sphincter which does not relax normally with swallowing [1]. This leads to progressive dysphagia, chest pain and regurgitation of undigested foods and liquids. The underlying abnormality is loss of intramural neurons and is usually ...
