Nutcracker esophagus (NE), Jackhammer (JHE), distal esophageal spasm (DES), and hypertensive lower sphincter (HTLES) are defined by manometric findings. Some patients with these motility disorders also have abnormal gastroesophageal reflux. It is unclear to what extent patients’ symptoms caused the disorder, acid reflux, or both. The aim of this study was determine effectiveness laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) on disorders, patient symptoms. Between 2007 2013, we performed...
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a key tool in respiratory medicine for sampling the distal airways. BAL bile acids are putative biomarkers of pulmonary microaspiration, which associated with poor outcomes after lung transplantation. Compared to BAL, large airway bronchial wash (LABW) samples tracheobronchial space where may be measurable at more clinically relevant levels. We assessed whether LABW acids, compared strongly clinical transplant recipients.Concurrently obtained and 3 months...
Abstract Background Many studies have shown that the importance of using mesh for paraesophageal hernia repair (PEHR) is to prevent recurrence. Unfortunately, it associated with high risk complications such as esophageal or gastric erosion. The aim this study report results 38 patients who underwent laparoscopic PEHR use a BioSynthetic (GoreÒ Bio AÒ tissue Reinforcement.USA). Methods Observational, retrospective, single-center cohort study. We analysed retrospectively consecutive diagnosis...
