Measuring esophageal distensibility can help define the severity of early scarring in the esophagus of children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a new study indicates. "Using the ...

The distensibility index provides a superior metric for fibrostenotic severity vs. esophageal diameter alone in pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitis, according to research published in ...

A healthy heart beats 50 to 100 times a minute and pumps 8,000 liters of blood around our body every day. A precondition for this function is the elasticity of the cardiac walls, which dilate as ...

The mechanism regulates the distensibility of the heart. Extensive wall stiffness is not good for the heart, because less blood flows in. In the case of diastolic heart failure, ...

Arterial distensibility decreases with age, i.e. arteries stiffen. Arterial stiffness is associated with the endpoints of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke, heart attack and cardiac death.

Distensibility is a measure of the elasticity of arteries, and low levels have long been recognised as an indicator of atherosclerosis and a reliable predictor of future cardiovascular events. By ...

“A 6-week treatment with budesonide orodispersible tablets 1mg was highly effective to increase the esophageal distensibility compared to placebo in adult patients with active eosinophilic ...

The researchers demonstrated in their experiments that the UnDOx mechanism occurs in hearts under oxidative stress. This is the case, for example, after an acute heart attack or in chronic heart ...

We aimed to evaluate clinical and physiologic characteristics, including esophageal distensibility, associated with secondary peristalsis in patients with EoE. CME Healthcare Jobs ...
