DOI: 10.1007/s00455-020-10159-2
Abstract: Mechanisms of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) when exposed to acid are still incompletely understood. The presented work investigated the reaction of the UES to acid exposure during swallowing. Ten healthy individuals swallowed ten 2 ml… read more here.

Upper esophageal sphincter abnormalities and high-resolution esophageal manometry findings in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology"
DOI: 10.1080/00365521.2017.1322139
Abstract: Abstract Background: The association between laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and abnormalities of upper esophageal sphincter (UES) and esophageal motility is not clearly known. High-resolution esophageal manometry (HREM) has allowed accurate measurement and evaluation of UES and… read more here.

PS01.008: LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER PRESSURE (LESP) AS A MEASURE OF ANTI-REFLUX BARRIER IN PATIENTS WITH HIATUS HERNIA
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Diseases of the Esophagus"
DOI: 10.1093/dote/doy089.ps01.008
Abstract: Hiatus Hernia (HH), with its anatomical/physiological derangement of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) barrier function is a risk factor for pathological gastro-esophageal reflux (GER). However, a subset of patients with HH do not have reflux. The aim… read more here.

Wirelessly powered deformable electronic stent for noninvasive electrical stimulation of lower esophageal sphincter
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Science Advances"
DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ade8622
Abstract: Electrical stimulation is a promising method to modulate gastrointestinal disorders. However, conventional stimulators need invasive implantation and removal surgeries associated with risks of infection and secondary injuries. Here, we report a battery-free and deformable electronic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13061136
Abstract: Background: Achalasia is characterized by aperistalsis with poor relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). We aimed to systematically assess whether LES metrics on high-resolution manometry (HRM) correlate with the symptomatic or endoscopic presentation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.5056/jnm21197
Abstract: Background/Aims The mechanism via which supra-esophageal symptoms are generated is unclear. We assessed upper esophageal sphincter (UES) function in novel fashion using functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) topography. We hypothesize that symptoms related to aspiration… read more here.
