ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Esophageal motility has been described in the literature as having differences between men and women. Most of these investigations use the water perfusion method for esophageal manometry. In this investigation the esophageal motility of men and women was compared with high-resolution...
ABSTRACT Introduction: High resolution manometry is the current technology used to the study of esophageal motility and is replacing conventional manometry in important centers for esophageal motility with parameters used on esophageal motility, following the Chicago Classification. This classification ...

Introdução: A manometria anorretal é, atualmente, o padrão ouro, como método de diagnóstico laboratorial dos distúrbios evacuatórios.
O objetivo do presente estudo é descrever uma experiência brasileira, da realização da manometria anorretal, valorizando-a
como meio diagnóstico. Métodos: Es...
ABSTRACT Background A multitude of endoscopic findings post-gastric bypass procedures have been previously reported in the literature, but to our knowledge, no present rules exist that could guide clinicians regarding which findings should be actively sought, once an initial finding is identified. Obje...
ABSTRACT Background Anal sphincter tone is routinely assessed by digital rectal examination in patients with fecal incontinence, although its accuracy in detecting sphincter defects or separating competent from incompetent muscles has not been established. Objective In this setting, we aimed to evaluat...
Summary Introduction: Digital palpation and manometry are methods that can provide information regarding maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) and endurance of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), and a strong correlation between these variables can be expected. Objective: To investigate the correlation betwe...

El esófago en martillo neumático (Jackhammer) es un trastorno peristáltico de hipercontractilidad, que de acuerdo con la clasificación de Chicago v.2 se define manométricamente como la presencia de una onda de amplitud y velocidad alta; es decir, con una integral de contractibilidad distal (ICD) sup...
ABSTRACT High resolution manometry changed several esophageal motility paradigms. The 3.0 Chicago Classification defined manometric criteria for named esophageal motility disorders. We present a pictorial atlas of motility disorders. Achalasia types, esophagogastric junction obstruction, absent contracti...
