In children with GERD, partial fundoplication reduces postoperative swallowing problems compared to total fundoplication, while reflux contr…
GERD Associated with Increased Risk of Laryngeal Cancer in Meta-Analysis
Large study links GERD to higher risk of laryngeal cancer
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 1,768,394 adults found that gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was significantly associated wit…
A massive analysis of nearly 1.8 million adults found a link between gastroesophageal reflux disease and increased risk of laryngeal cancer.
Systematic review and meta-analysis finds elevated magnetic sphincter augmentation erosion after sleeve gastrectomy
Magnetic sphincter augmentation erosion risk is higher after sleeve gastrectomy
This systematic review and meta-analysis of 287 patients found that magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) erosion after laparoscopic sleeve …
A meta-analysis shows patients with sleeve gastrectomy have a higher erosion rate after magnetic sphincter augmentation compared to nonbaria…
Personalized swallowing rehab improves outcomes after oral cancer surgery
New Swallowing Therapy Helps Oral Cancer Patients Eat and Speak More Easily
This randomized controlled trial in 300 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma found that a personalized swallowing rehabilitation progr…
Personalized swallowing therapy helps oral cancer patients recover faster, eat more naturally, and avoid dangerous complications like pneumo…
FEES Dysphagia Index (FDI) derivation and validation in hospitalized neurological patients
A new swallowing test may better predict pneumonia risk in hospitalized brain patients
This single-center retrospective cohort study derived and validated the FEES Dysphagia Index (FDI) in 1,257 and 1,686 hospitalized neurologi…
A new swallowing score outperformed a standard measure at predicting pneumonia and death in neurological patients, offering a simpler bedsid…
Zinc-L-carnosine supplement versus thickened formula for persistent infant regurgitation in randomized trial
Thickened Formula May Cost More Than This New Supplement
A two-center, prospective, single-blind, randomized, non-inferiority study evaluated Zinc-L-carnosine in 60 infants aged 4 weeks to 7 months…
A new baby supplement for spit-up costs less and works as well as the expensive thickened formula parents often use.
Case report of two neonates with esophageal atresia and phrenic nerve palsy managed with stepwise respiratory and surgical strategies
Two Rare Cases Reveal New Path for Nerve Injury Recovery
This case report describes two neonates with type III esophageal atresia who developed phrenic nerve palsy.
When a repair for a birth defect hurts a breathing nerve, doctors now try non-invasive support first before surgery.
PPI-refractory GERD prevalence and mechanisms in systemic sclerosis using ambulatory pH-MII, HREM, and scintigraphy
Heartburn Pills Often Fail in Scleroderma—New Study Reveals Why
This retrospective cohort study of 30 adults with systemic sclerosis evaluated PPI-refractory GERD using ambulatory pH-MII, HREM, and gastri…
Standard heartburn pills often fail for scleroderma patients because weak muscle movement in the esophagus and stomach prevents acid from cl…
Systematic review assesses performance and applicability of aspiration risk prediction models in stroke
Can doctors predict if stroke patients might breathe in food?
This systematic review evaluates prediction models for aspiration risk in adult stroke patients across 18 model development studies.
Most tools to predict if stroke patients will choke on food show promise but cannot be trusted yet because every study had serious flaws.
Network meta-analysis compares preventive measures for esophageal variceal bleeding in 6510 cirrhosis patients
New Combo Stops Bleeding Better Than Old Drugs
This network meta-analysis synthesizes data from 6510 patients with liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices regarding primary preventive meas…
Combining two specific medicines stops dangerous stomach bleeding better than older single-drug treatments for people with advanced liver sc…
