“Pinstripe Pattern” in an Achalasia Patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endoscopic image of achalasia usually shows dilated esophageal cavity with retained liquids and foods. Recently, "pinstripe pattern" (PSP) in the case of achalasia patient was reported as an endoscopic image of the indicator for early detection of achalasia. The typical endoscopic image of PSP can be recognized in this case.

New Endoscopic Indicator of Esophageal Achalasia: “Pinstripe Pattern”
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal achalasia lacking typical endoscopic features can be extremely difficult. The aim of this study was to identify simple and reliable early indicator of esophageal achalasia. PATIENTS AND METHODS This single-center retrospective study included 56 cases of esophageal achalasia without previous treatment. As a control, 60 non-achalasia ...

Between 1993-1996 seventy-three consecutive patients (33 M, 40 F, mean age 35.4) with newly diagnosed achalasia underwent one or more pneumatic dilatations with the Rigiflex balloon using a protocol of graded dilatation with a fixed inflation pressure of 10 psi and constant duration of 30 seconds for all patients without using fluoroscopy. Using Vantrappen's classification for assessment of...
متن کاملIn vitro neurite guidance effects induced by polylysine pinstripe micropatterns with polylysine background.
Engineered culture substrates with chemical neurite guidance cues have been used for studying the mechanism of axon pathfinding at cellular level. In this study, we designed a novel poly-l-lysine (PLL) micropattern ("pinstripe micropattern") to investigate how the same biomolecules with slightly different surface concentration can affect in vitro neuronal growth. The pinstripe micropattern was ...

The aim of the study was to characterize the presence of diverse CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets and regulatory cells in peripheral blood and lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) from a young patient with BE/achalasia without treatment versus achalasia group. In order to characterize the circulating cells in this patient, a cytometric analysis was performed. LES tissue was evaluated by double-immunosta...

Background: High-resolution manometer (HRM) of the esophagus has become the main diagnostic test in the evaluation of esophageal motility disorders. The development of high-resolution manometry catheters and software displays of manometry recordings in color-coded pressure plots have changed the diagnostic assessment of esophageal disease. The first step of the Chicago classification described ...
