The muscularis mucosa extends through the entire esophagus and continues into the rest of the GI tract, being much thinner in the proximal part of the esophagus than in its distal part. 44 At the ...

Relative Positions of a Rubin Biopsy Instrument as Biopsies were Taken Proximal and Distal to the Lower Esophageal Ring.

The clinical significance of a distal colorectal polyp is uncertain. We determined the risk of advanced proximal neoplasia, defined as a polyp with villous features, a polyp with high-grade dysplas ...

He theorized that the positive clinical effects seen might be explained by complete relaxation of the distal esophagus by Buscopan allowing the proximal esophagus to pass the obstruction through.

Histologic confirmation, however, is essential for the diagnosis. Biopsies of the proximal and distal esophagus should be taken in clinically or endoscopically suspected esophagitis.

Minimally invasive surgical procedures for primary esophageal motility disorders (achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, and nutcracker esophagus) yield results that are comparable to those of open ...

IEM is associated with an increased acid clearance times in the distal esophagus. Gastropharyngeal reflux causes supraesophageal manifestations such as globus, chronic cough, hoarseness, asthma ...

Investigators wanted to assess endoscopic appearance, wall thickness, histology, and dysphagia score for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).

Background: The incidence of distal esophageal (DE) and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) tumors has increased rapidly in recent decades. They are often included in gastric cancer trials. The 7th AJCC ...

According to results, distal tears had a 22.7-times greater likelihood of failure with nonoperative management after investigators adjusted findings for age, location and evidence of chronic ...
