The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of chin tuck against resistance exercise on swallowing function, depression, and quality of life in acute stroke patients with dysphagia.
This study is a prospective registry designed to evaluate the clinical outcomes, safety, and effectiveness of per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) performed using the Speedboat UltraSlim™ device in patients with achalasia or other esophageal motility disorders. Participants included in this registry are those undergoing clinically indicated POEM as part of standard …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the safety of the addition of PULSAR radiation to standard of care chemotherapy and immunotherapy in people with esophageal and gastroesophageal junction cancer and to determine the safest dose of radiation that can be used. Participants in this study will be …
Esophagectomy is a major surgical procedure done for carcinoma of esophagus. Usually bilateral chest tubes are placed in surgery for prevention of fluid accumulation in chest. However such procedure limits patients mobility and increases severity of pain. recent studies suggest that a single drain can be safe and effective. our …
This pilot study will explore whether treatment of eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus is associated with an improved distensibility of the esophagus. Furthermore, previous studies of the esophagus using EndoFlip only measured distensibility of the distal esophagus, specifically the distal esophagus and esophagogastric junction. Eosinophilia in EoE has been demonstrated …
Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that intestinal low-dose radiotherapy (ILDR) may enhance antitumor immune responses by modulating the gut microenvironment, thereby improving the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICBs) in refractory solid tumors. Based on these findings, the investigators initiate a multicohort phase II clinical trial to evaluate the clinical …
This trial aims to assess changes in minimal residual disease (MRD) status before and after radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy and adjuvant immunotherapy after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in patients with inoperable stage II-III esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC), and correlate with the efficacy of adjuvant immunotherapy.
The evaluation of the foregut, the esophagus and stomach, has come a long way over the past two decades, and continues to experience exciting discoveries in the clinical evaluation of foregut physiology. Assessing esophageal peristalsis has relied for the past several decades on High Resolution Manometry (HRM), however it has …
In this research study, is studying how Liposomal Irinotecan in combination with the standard of care interventions FOLFOX, carboplatin paclitaxel, and radiation therapy affect gastroesophageal junction or esophagogastric cancer This research study involves the following study intervention: \- Liposomal irinotecan
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients require careful assessment before extubation to prevent failure, which is associated with poor outcomes. While current guidelines recommend weaning protocols, these are based on general respiratory failure studies rather than ARDS-specific data. Esophageal pressure (Pes) measurement provides direct assessment of inspiratory effort but …
