- The EndoFLIP is a new diagnostic system that evaluates esophageal function in real time, especially beneficial for patients with unclear esophageal motor issues like outflow obstruction and achalasia.
- The study at San Ignacio University Hospital involved 27 patients, primarily women, all over 18, and focused on cases with inconclusive prior diagnoses.
- Results showed varied contractile responses in patients, revealing that many had normal or absent responses, which helps in understanding their individual esophageal conditions.
Background: Clinical experience has shown that a single measure is not sufficient to assess disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Various clinimetric tools are necessary to address the many clinical situations that can arise.
Methods: In order to develop a comprehensive measurement tool, the Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology searched for the most frequent measures of disease activity applied in RA by means of a semi-systematic review of the available literature.
