[Diaphragmatic electromyography (DEMG) in achalasia patients].
LES pressure increase following diaphragmatic contraction as a pinch-cock action acts as one of the barrier mechanism for gastroesophageal reflux. In achalasia patients, incomplete LES relaxation following wet swallow is one of the characteristic manometric findings, along with loss of peristalsis. On the other hand, it has been reported that swallowing effort or esophageal distention have no e...
متن کاملCorrelation and compatibility between surface respiratory electromyography and transesophageal diaphragmatic electromyography measurements during treadmill exercise in stable patients with COPD
Purpose To evaluate the compatibility and correlation between noninvasive surface respiratory electromyography and invasive transesophageal diaphragmatic electromyography measurements as facilitating indicators of neural respiratory drive (NRD) evaluation during treadmill exercise. Patients and methods Transesophageal diaphragmatic electromyogram activity (EMGdi,es) and surface inspiratory el...
متن کاملDiaphragmatic Hernia after Laparoscopic Esophagomyotomy for Esophageal Achalasia in Pregnancy
Background. The optimal treatment for management of esophageal achalasia in pregnancy is controversial. Little information exists about pregnancy outcome after successful myotomy. Case. Achalasia in pregnancy was diagnosed when a patient presented with pneumomediastinum from microrupture of the overdistended esophagus. An attempt at surgical correction failed due to the development of aspiratio...
متن کاملHeartburn in patients with achalasia.
Heartburn, the main symptom of gastrooesophageal reflux disease (GORD), might be expected to occur infrequently in achalasia, a disorder characterised by a hypertensive lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) that fails to relax. Nevertheless, it is often described by patients with achalasia. The medical records of 32 patients with untreated achalasia who complained of heartburn, and of 35 similar pa...
