I remember a young couple in my clinic, their faces etched with worry. Their little one, just a few months old, had this persistent, wheezy cough. #aorta #breathingproblemsinbabies #Congenitalheartdefect #Esophagus #pediatricsurgery #trachea #vascularring

I’ve got a friend from my university days – let’s call her Chamari. She’d often complain after meals, especially when we’d grab some spicy Sri Lankan bites or indulge in a late-night snack. #AcidReflux #AcidRefluxTreatment #DigestiveHealth #Esophagus #GastricReflux #GERD #GERDComplications #Heartburn #HeartburnRelief

Had a wonderful first trip to Mexico🇲🇽 last week to speak about laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD🔥) at the NeuroGastro Congress. Thank you to my friends/colleagues from La Asociación Mexicana de Neurogastroenterología y Motilidad (AMNM) for the invitation and warm hospitality❤️ Look forward to more exciting collaborations in the future!

Rogaine Rogan

Joe Rogan is a famous podcaster. You may not be aware of the fact that people are attracted to their own names or very similar names. For instance Lawrences often become lawyers and Dennises often become dentists. So that’s why I call him Rogaine Rogan for his attraction to the pharmaceutical that is supposed to grow hair.

But wait you might say. Joe Rogan sports a bald head at most times. Surely he of all people would be anti Rogaine, if anything.

Maybe, but the call of Rogaine crept into his consciousness over time. He thought about adding it to his chest and legs to see how thick he could make those hairs in those parts of his body. Then he thought he might make it stylish to have a hairy back by using Rogaine there. He has just enough influence this just might become popular for awhile. But then he realized it would inevitably go out of style and he would be stuck shaving his back for the rest of his life. And he can’t reach there by himself.

So Joe decided to have a secret place where he let his hair grow – his esophagus. With this idea becoming firmly entrenched in his brain he began to chug bottles of Rogaine.

As the hair grew it slowly dawned on Joe that some of his food was getting trapped in the hair and not making it to his stomach. Of course he didn’t want to starve to death so he came up with the plan that he would have to shave it.

He tried using manual razors on a string. But this barely cut any hair because there was no leverage. It was time for him to think outside the box.

Acting quickly, with his stomach grumbling all the time, he enrolled in sword swallowing lessons. This poked the food down into his stomach and now he had hope.

But really his plan all along was to use a sword with a sharp blade. Once he inserted it, with his head up and his back straight, it could be slowly rotated to shave his interior esophagus. He would have to rotate that sword a full 360 degrees while inside him.

This was successful for Joe and now he easily does his sword swallowing shave once weekly.

So now Joe is happy and still is attracted to his name. So he watches anything that Seth Rogen has ever been associated with.

Embarking on a bold new adventure!

I've had stomach issues most of my adult life, only recently have I been aware of reflux symptoms. It may explain a lot of symptoms and I'm trying a 28-day diet to see if it helps.

Is anyone else familiar with acid reflux?

Congratulation to our @drexelmcbg students - Jasmine Peake PhD (graduated) and Kalisse Horne - also to John Gilligan and our lab mom Chiaki Noguchi for publishing a nice paper in Cell Cycle - officially printed 🎉 🥳 🤩

It’s about alcohol and its effects on esophagus cancer, but I still drink 🍺 😐 I should reduce my alcohol consumption 🤔

There is currently much interest in the role of Artifical Intelligence (AI) in medicine, particularly in specialties involving visualization such as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which is important in screening and diagnosis of esophageal and gastric cancer. This report provides a readable summary of the approach and recent results of its clinical application in detecting malignant and premalignant lesions.

This unusual review involves a qualitative analysis of professionals' views on the justification for systematic screening for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), a topic of some controversy. Professionals are increasingly supportive of targeted screening (as opposed to population screening), driven by the introduction of less invasive screening methods and the potential for effective treatment of detected neoplasia.

This study combines questionnaire data and automated cytological evaluation of sponge-collected cells to accurately identify high-risk individuals without the need for endoscopy. It uses machine learning to identify abnormal cells and create automated risk scores that are equivalent to those of experienced cytologists. This approach could potentially reduce the number of endoscopies needed to screen the population by around 90%.

Radio frequency ablation (RFA) has become a standard of care for persons with advanced dysplasia in Barrett's, but little is known regarding the occurrence and predictors of post-procedure symptoms. This study found that RFA treatment caused considerable post-procedural symptoms of significant duration in the vast majority of patients, with almost all patients experiencing pain and dysphagia after the procedure.

The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma rose rapidly for over 40 years before leveling off after the turn of the century. The highest incidence is in white males, who experienced a 10-fold increase. Recent data from NCI's SEER registry system suggest that rates may be starting to climb again in this demographic group.
