Data on Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal cancer (EC) outcomes in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are limited. We aimed to determine the risk of prevalent BE (<1 year after endoscopy), incident BE (≥1 year after endoscopy), and incident EC in patients with versus without EoE, and to identify predictors of BE/EC in EoE patients. We identified adult patients in the Merative MarketScan Database who underwent first-time upper endoscopy between 2008 and 2020.

Background: Surgical fundoplication remains integral in managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by addressing gastroesophageal valve incompetence. This study introduces a novel hybrid approach, the Eversion Cruroplasty and Collar Overwrap (ECCO) procedure, aiming to combine benefits of conventional partial wrapping and posteromedial cardiopexy, considering gastric fundus anatomical peculiarities as an anti-reflux barrier.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of pediatric patients presenting with refractory GERD from 2021 to 2023 was conducted.

We have incidentally observed a finding not yet described in the literature, on both cross-sectional imaging and fluoroscopy, to correlate with increased obstructive symptoms in our post sleeve gastrectomy patients. This case series aims to show postsurgical imaging cases with the common underlying finding of a pseudotumor associated with hiatal herniae and obstructive symptoms. Because this clinical presentation may, in some cases, warrant postsurgical revision, knowledge of the imaging findings and their potential clinical significance is useful to radiologists who interpret routine cross-sectional imaging examinations as well as fluoroscopic evaluations of these post sleeve gastrectomy patients.

Introduction: High-resolution manometry (HRM) allows assessment of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) disruption. While type 3 EGJ predicts definitive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), type 2 EGJ is less clearly implicated in GERD pathogenesis. This study aimed to characterize physiologic findings in type 2 EGJ to determine if the HRM-based Milan Score can define GERD within type 2 EGJ.

Objectives Diaphragmatic hernias (DHs) in adults are an uncommon condition in which general characteristics and treatment strategies are poorly described. The objective of this study was to describe our institutional experience in the surgical repair of DH in adult patients. Methods A cross-sectional review was conducted on adult patients with DH who were diagnosed and surgically treated between 2012 and 2023 at the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias in Mexico City.
