Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia)
AbstractBackgroundCriteria for transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs) are well-defined for Dentsleeve manometry. As high-resolution manometry (HRM) is now the gold standard to assess esophageal motility, our aim was to propose a consensus definition of TLESRs using HRM.MethodsPostprandial...

Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia)
AbstractBackgroundHydrogen sulfide (H2S) serves as a mammalian cell-derived gaseous neurotransmitter. The intestines are exposed to a second source of this gas by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Bismuth subsalicylate binds H2S rendering it insoluble. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis...
