Article Synopsis
- * Ten children with H-TEF were monitored using videofluoroscopic swallowing evaluation (VFSE), assessing factors like aspiration, oral phase efficiency, and esophageal motility during swallowing of liquids and solids.
- * Results showed modest swallowing impairments among the children, with some experiencing liquid aspiration and varying degrees of esophageal dysmotility, highlighting the need for regular swallowing function evaluations in H-TEF patients.
Duplication cysts are found in any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the oropharynx to anus. Although duplication cysts usually have similar epithelium with the adjacent organ, respiratory epithelium in the enteric duplication cysts is rarely reported. This study was performed to evaluate the variations in the epithelial lining of duplication cysts and its clinical implications.

- A rare familial occurrence of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) prompted a genetic evaluation of a male infant and his father, both diagnosed with the condition.
- The infant, diagnosed with Type-C EA-TEF, and his father had blood samples analyzed, revealing four genetic variants, but only one variant in the CHRND gene was shared between them.
- The findings suggest that the CHRND variant may be a potential genetic cause of EA-TEF in this familial case, highlighting the importance of genetic research in understanding rare conditions.
