Functional Magnetic Resonance in the Evaluation of Oesophageal Motility Disorders
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been recently proposed for the evaluation of the esophagus. Our aim is to assess the role of fMRI as a technique to assess morphological and functional parameters of the esophagus in patients with esophageal motor disorders and in healthy controls. Subsequently, we assessed the diagnostic efficiency of fMRI in comparison to videofluoroscopic and ...
متن کاملUnclassified oesophageal motor disorders simulating achalasia.
Achalasia of the oesophagus is characterized by the absence of peristalsis, failure of the inferior oesophageal sphincter to relax after swallowing (Harris, 1966), and a positive mecholyl test (Kramer and Ingelfinger, 1951). This combination offeatures is regarded as specific for this disease. Nevertheless, in the literature a number of cases have been designated achalasia despite the presence ...
متن کاملEffect of sildenafil on oesophageal motor function in healthy subjects and patients with oesophageal motor disorders.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sildenafil blocks phosphodiesterase type 5 which degrades nitric oxide (NO) stimulated 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP), thereby relaxing smooth muscle cells in various organs. We used sildenafil as a tool to investigate the role of the NO-cGMP pathway in the oesophagus of healthy volunteers and patients with hypercontractile oesophageal motility disorders. METHODS Six hea...

متن کاملFunctional Disorders
Introduction The term “functional somatic syndrome” refers to several overlapping syndromes that are characterized mostly by symptoms, suffering, and disability and less by disease-specific abnormalities of structure or function. They include, but are not limited to, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), fibromyalgia (FM), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and res...
