1. All had oesophageal varices at endoscopy.

2. One male patient had two separate oesophageal carcinomas.

3. Discussion Despite the increasingly widespread use of oesophageal manometry, few studies have assessed its benefit to patient management.

4. Discussion Oesophageal involvement by lymphoma is, in most cases, secondary.

5. In conclusion oesophageal transection and gastric devascularisation appears to confer no benefit over endoscopic sclerotherapy in terms of long term survival after variceal haemorrhage.

6. All patients underwent oesophageal manometry and transit studies before and after complete healing of oesophagitis.

7. Our technique permits continuous recording from the upper oesophageal sphincter for periods of several hours without resort to sedation.

8. Patients with increased oesophageal alkalinisation require careful surveillance because of their increased likelihood of developing complications.

9. Oesophageal manometry and acid perfusion tests were performed in the morning, with the fasting patient in the left lateral position.

10. The technique is as for treating oesophageal cancers and has been published previously.

11. Peristaltic or simultaneous oesophageal contractions occurred in clusters of four or more repetitive waves and lasted for several minutes.

12. Patients with previous oesophageal or gastric surgery were excluded from the study.

13. All volunteers underwent manometry, 33 had oesophageal transit studies, and 23 had acid clearance test.

14. Cervical papillae occur anteriorly in the oesophageal region, and caudal papillae posteriorly at the tail.

15. Oesophageal transit and acid clearance have also been shown to be slower in these patients.

16. Fundoplication in itself did not affect oesophageal motility or transit, provided that the wrap was intact.

17. These relaxations are a more likely explanation for oesophagopharyngeal reflux than defective basal upper oesophageal sphincter tone.

18. By contrast with our study, the available data for oral cisapride do not suggest that cisapride affects characteristics of oesophageal contraction.

19. We have reported that endoscopic dilatation is an effective and safe short term treatment for corrosive oesophageal strictures.

20. Smoking and alcohol may promote the reflux inflammation lower oesophageal sphincter dysfunction cycle in those without a hiatus hernia.

21. The mean age increased together with the severity of the oesophageal injury.

22. Endoscopic dilatation is safe and effective for short and long term relief of dysphagia in patients with corrosive oesophageal strictures.

23. Evidence is also presented which suggests that amylase determination in oesophageal fluid is an accurate reflection of salivary contamination.

24. Cervical and caudal alae are flattened wing-like expansions of the cuticle in the oesophageal and tail regions.

25. To determine whether gastro-oesophageal reflux in asthmatics results in oesophagitis, endoscopy and oesophageal biopsy were performed on 186 consecutive adult asthmatics.

26. These repetitive simultaneous pressure waves usually occurred together with the lower oesophageal sphincter component of the migrating motor complex.

27. In 1989 Nixon and Koch described a manometric pattern they termed recurrent autonomous oesophageal peristalsis.

28. Including our two patients, only eight cases of isolated primary oesophageal involvement by lymphoma have been published.sentencedict .com

29. A recent pilot study with combined laser treatment and radiotherapy in oesophageal cancer produced promising results.

30. If dysphagia persisted despite dilatation, barium swallow examination was undertaken to assess the oesophageal lumen.
