Article Abstract
Background: Hypervigilance has emerged as an important construct in esophageal symptom reporting, but a review of the literature does not currently exist. This scoping review aimed to generate a comprehensive overview of the literature on hypervigilance in esophageal diseases and summarize the evidence for each esophageal disease.
Methods: Guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology, articles that were peer-reviewed original studies, published in English, and included adult patients with at least one esophageal disease were included. Articles were retrieved from PubMed and Embase databases and screened first by title and abstract for an initial round of exclusions, and then again by full text for a second round of exclusions.
Results: Nineteen studies were included. Studies were categorized by primary diagnosis: achalasia (1, 5%), eosinophilic esophagitis (1, 5%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (6, 32%), laryngopharyngeal reflux (3, 16%), non-cardiac chest pain (3, 16%), and multi-disorder samples (5, 26%). Studies primarily evaluated associations between hypervigilance and symptom severity, psychosocial functioning, health-related quality of life, and physiological disease variables. A number of studies also evaluated hypervigilance across esophageal diseases or presentations (e.g., across motility disorders, across GERD phenotypes).
Conclusions: The role of hypervigilance in symptom reporting has been investigated in multiple esophageal conditions. Findings suggest potential clinical utility in assessing hypervigilance, such as for disease conceptualization and treatment planning. Future research is needed in larger samples, with consistent measures of hypervigilance, and using data synthesis methodology (i.e., systematic reviews) to better compare and contrast findings across studies.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT10) score, a screening index for dysphagia, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score, which evaluates daytime sleepiness in Japanese workers.
Method: A cross-sectional study of 496 workers (454 men and 42 women) at two business locations in Japan was conducted from November 2021 to June 2022. Dysphagia was assessed using the score of EAT10, a self-administered questionnaire.

The diagnostic accuracy of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) after multimodal treatment remains unclear. In a prospective cohort of 132 patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by clinical response evaluation and surgery, tumor-informed personalized-panel and fixed-panel ctDNA assays are applied to serial blood samples. Personalized ctDNA assay demonstrates a superior baseline detection rate (99.

Aim: Although previous studies have investigated feeding difficulties in preterm children, research exploring contextual risk factors within low- and middle-income countries like Turkey remains limited. This prospective cross-sectional study aims to identify factors associated with swallowing difficulties and oral sensory problems in children aged 3-10 years who were born preterm.
Method: A total of 158 parents of preterm children aged 3-10 years completed the Pediatric Eating Assessment Tool (PEDI-EAT-10) and the Oral Sensory Profile (Oral-SP).

Objectives: To describe the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and Very Early Diagnosis of SSc (VEDOSS), identify clinical and serological features associated with GI involvement, and explore a cranio-caudal pattern of symptom distribution, using data from the Italian SPRING-SIR registry.
Methods: This cross-sectional analysis included patients fulfilling 2013 ACR/EULAR SSc or VEDOSS criteria. GI involvement was defined as symptoms in at least one GI tract segment and categorized as upper and lower.
