1. Estudo da relação entre os diferentes graus de hipercontratilidade do corpo do esôfago e o refluxo gastroesofágico / Investigating the relationship between different degrees of hypercontractility body of the esophagus and gastroesophageal reflux
The "Nutcracker esophagus " (NE) is a disease of manometric diagnosis, described in 1977, characterized by hypercontractility esophageal body. In the 1990s, there were publications relating the NE to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which has since been the subject of controversy. Such controversy and a lack of studies evaluating reflux in less intens

2. Função motora do esôfago em pacientes com doença do refluxo gastroesofágico / Esophageal motor function in patients with gastro-esophageal reflux disease
Introdução: A diminuição do tônus basal e da extensão do esfíncter inferior do esôfago são considerados como principais mecanismos responsável pela ocorrência de refluxo gastroesofágico. Um adequado clareamento esofágico depende da presença de peristaltismo primário e secundário efetivos. Ainda há dúvidas se o achado de alterações do peri

3. Diagnostico molecular de doença de Chagas em pacientes soronegativos portadores de megaesofago / Molecular diagnosis of Chagas disease in seronegative patients with megaesophagus
A doença de Chagas, cujo agente etiológico é o protozoário Trypanosoma cruzi, completa 100 anos de descoberta. Apesar da implementação de programas visando ao controle da transmissão vetorial, a infecção chagásica segue como um importante problema de saúde pública na América Latina. A globalização da doença de Chagas, consequente à migraçã

4. Novas técnicas ambulatoriais para avaliação da motilidade esofágica e sua aplicação no estudo do megaesôfago
Brazilian surgeons deal routinely with esophageal motility disorders, because achalasia is highly prevalent in Brazil due to Chagas' disease. In the last years new technologies for the evaluation of esophageal motility became available. High resolution manometry and the combination of barometric parameters and intraluminal impedance are the new frontiers on

5. Indications, technique, and clinical use of ambulatory 24-hour esophageal motility monitoring in a surgical practice.
The development of miniaturized electronic pressure transducers and portable digital data recorders with large storage capacity has made ambulatory monitoring of esophageal motor function over an entire circadian cycle possible. The broad clinical application of this new technology in a large number of asymptomatic normal volunteers and patients with primary

6. Prospective double-blind randomized trial of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication with division and without division of short gastric vessels.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether division of the short gastric vessels (SGVs) and full mobilization of the gastric fundus is necessary to reduce the incidence of postoperative dysphagia and other adverse sequelae of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Based on historical and uncontrolled studies, division of the SGVs has been advocate

7. Laparoscopic antireflux surgery. What is real progress?
OBJECTIVE: The authors aim to substantiate, with objective arguments, potential advantages of laparoscopic versus open antireflux surgery in the light of the recent crude experience of the Louvain Medical School Hospital. METHODS: Seventy-two consecutive patients with disabling gastroesophageal reflux disease ([GERD], n = 56), symptomatic hiatal hernia witho

8. Exposure of HEp-2 Cells to Stress Conditions Influences Antinuclear Antibody Reactivity
This study of stress-related antinuclear antibody (ANA) reactivity was undertaken with the objective of improving clinical ANA testing. ANA was determined by parallel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays of crude nuclear protein antigen extracted from HEp-2 cells either grown under optimal conditions (providing nonstress ANA antigen) or exposed to stress (prov
