Article Abstract
The clearance of the esophagus is to transport food boluses from the pharynx to the stom- ach through peristaltic motion. This occurs through the primary peristaltic wave, triggered by swallowing, passing from the upper to lower esophagus in a sequence of contractions and relaxations. Investigation modalities for evaluation of esophageal clearance function include esophageal manometry (included high resolution manometry), esophageal radiography (barium swallow), esophageal scintigraphy, ultrasonography, impedance methods and com- bination with transnasal endoscopy and manometry. Of these, evaluation of esophageal clear- ance is conducted quantitative assessment of esophageal motility as well as transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation(TLESR) in reflux esophagitis.

Clinical features of Barrett's mucosa arising in the remnant esophagus after subtotal esophagectomy and esophago-gastric anastomosis for esophageal cancer.

Department of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery, Dokkyo Medical University, 880 Kitakobayashi, Mibu, Shimotsugagun, Tochigi, 321-0293, Japan.
Background: Barrett's mucosa in the remnant esophagus (BMRE) is often identified after gastric pull-up reconstruction after esophagectomy. This study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of BMRE and the factors that affect the development of BMRE.
Methods: The characteristics of BMRE and factors affecting its occurrence were studied in patients with subtotal esophagectomy and gastric pull-up reconstruction who survived at least 3 years after esophageal cancer surgery and who were evaluated by endoscopy.
ENDOSCOPIC EVALUATION OF PATIENTS WITH FOOD ALLERGY FOR EOSINOPHILIC ESOPHAGITIS BEFORE ORAL IMMUNOTHERAPY.
J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract
September 2025
Department of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Izmir, Turkiye.
Background: In recent years, it has been argued that eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) seen in the early period of oral immunotherapy (OIT) may also exist before OIT.
Objective: We sought to evaluate the presence of EoE before initiating OIT and identify risk factors (during fetal development, infancy, and environmental exposures) for its development.
Methods: 48 patients who underwent endoscopic evaluation before OIT were enrolled.
Effectiveness and Safety of Orodispersible Budesonide for Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Multicenter Real-World Study.

Department of Surgery, Oncology and Gastroenterology, University of Padua, Padua, Italy; Gastroenterology Unit, Azienda Ospedale Università Padova, Padua, Italy. Electronic address:
Background And Aims: Topical corticosteroids represent one of the effective first-line treatment options for EoE, and therapy with budesonide orodispersible tablets (BOTs) has been recently approved for the treatment of EoE and showed great efficacy in randomized-controlled clinical trials, however real-life data is lacking. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with BOTs in adult EoE patients in a real-life setting.
Methods: In this prospective study, clinical, histologic, endoscopic, and safety measures were assessed.
INTEROBSERVER AGREEMENT OF INTRAPAPILLARY CAPILLARY LOOPS CLASSIFICATION FOR SUPERFICIAL ESOPHAGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA IN A WESTERN CENTER.

Background: Accurate evaluation of the invasion depth of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) is crucial for optimal treatment. While magnifying endoscopy (ME) using the Japanese Esophageal Society (JES) classification is reported as the most accurate method to predict invasion depth, its efficacy has not been tested in the Western world. This study aims to evaluate the interobserver agreement of the JES classification for SESCC and its accuracy in estimating invasion depth in a Brazilian tertiary hospital.

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease has a prevalence of 12% in the Brazilian population. Its treatment includes hygienic-dietary changes, use of medications and, in selected cases, surgery with laparos-copic hiatoplasty and Nissen total fundoplication. However, this last treatment modality presents risks of postoperative dysphagia.
