This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The esophagus can be affected by many diseases, whether congenital or acquired. The burning sensation caused in the chest due to acid reflux is a very common esophageal disease. Prolonged exposure to the gastric acids may erode the lining of the esophagus, leading to Barrett's esophagus. It is a clinical condition which is considered a high risk factor for adenocarcinoma. Some of the other conditions of esophagus are Chagas disease, esophageal cancer, esohageal dysphagia, esophagitis, Killian-Jamieson diverticulum, neurogenic dysphagia, Zenker's diverticulum, etc. An X-ray of swallowed barium is generally used to assess the shape and size of the esophagus and any underlying mass. Through a procedure called endoscopy, it is possible to visualize the interior of the esophagus. It also allows a biopsy to be taken that is useful for the diagnosis of cancer. Esophageal cancer is usually managed with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or the partial surgical removal of the esophagus. The topics included in this book on esophageal disease are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. This book presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe on the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal diseases. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers involved in gastroenterology.

Download or read book Motor Function of the Pharynx Esophagus and Its Sphincters written by Ravinder Mittal and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deglutition or a swallow begins as a voluntary act in the oral cavity but proceeds autonomously in the pharynx and esophagus. Bilateral sequenced activation and inhibition of more than 25 pairs of muscles of mouth, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus is required during a swallow. A single swallow elicits peristalsis in the pharynx and esophagus along with relaxation of upper and lower esophageal sphincters. Multiple swallows, at closely spaced time intervals, demonstrate deglutitive inhibition; sphincters remain relaxed during the entire period, but only the last swallow elicits peristalsis. Laryngeal inlet closure or airway protection is very important during swallow. Upper part of the esophagus that includes upper esophageal sphincter is composed of skeletal muscles, middle esophagus is composed of a mixture of skeletal and smooth muscles, and lower esophagus, including lower esophageal sphincter, is composed of smooth muscles. Peristalsis progresses in seamless fashion, despite separate control mechanism, from the skeletal to smooth muscle esophagus. The esophagus's circular and longitudinal muscle layers contract synchronously during peristalsis. Sphincters maintain continuous tone; neuromuscular mechanisms for tonic closure in the upper and lower esophageal sphincters are different. Lower esophageal sphincter transient relaxation, belching mechanism, regurgitation, vomiting, and reflux are mediated via the brain stem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third triennial congress of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus (lSDE) was held in Munich in September 1986 under the presidency of J. Rudiger Siewert. The very well organized and epoch-making meeting was part of the International Esophageal Week and was held in conjunction with the International Conference of Esophageal Diseases, the European Study Group of Diseases of the Esophagus (GEEMO), and International Organization for Statistical Studies of Esophageal Diseases (OESO). I am very pleased that it has been possible to publish the proceedings of the congress so rapidly. The problems associated with diseases of the esophagus are multifaceted, varying considerably according to locality; their study thus neces sitates a large international forum, which is one of the founding aims of the ISDE. We hope that this volume, by virtue of the in-depth and up-dated reports it contains, can playa role in advancing the work being done in this field. Finally I should like to express my heartfelt appreciation to Professor Siewert and Dr. Holscher for their contribution toward the success of the congress. Kiyoshi Inokuchi, M.D., F.A.C.S. President of the ISDE Preface The scientific knowledge about esophageal diseases and their treatment has rapidly developed and increased within the last 10 years. The present book reproduces for 1987 the topical state of the art about pathology, pathophysiology, diagnostic, and therapy of benign and malignant diseases of the esophagus.
