Summary: Accumulation of secretions in the pharynx and larynx can lead to dysphagia, aspiration, pneumonia, and increased burden. Standardized secretion scales allow for early identification of abnormalities and sensitive monitoring of patients. Further research on quantitative reporting of pharyngolaryngeal secretions is crucial for understanding pathophysiology and guiding future treatment studies.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate novel FLIP metrics of contraction power and displaced volume in asymptomatic controls and a patient cohort. The results showed that these metrics effectively quantify peristaltic vigor and are correlated with the DCI metric on HRM.

Summary: This study systematically evaluated a classification scheme of secondary peristalsis using FLIP panometry by comparing it with primary peristalsis on HRM. The results showed that different contractile response patterns can reflect various pathophysiological states of esophageal peristalsis. The findings suggest that FLIP panometry can facilitate the evaluation of esophageal motility.

Summary: This study assessed the clinical and technical outcomes of flexible endoscopic incisional therapy for Zenker's diverticulum (FEIT-Z) in patients who were non-operative candidates or refused or failed surgical management. The results showed that FEIT-Z is a safe and effective treatment option, with high technical and clinical success rates, for patients who are not suitable for or refuse surgery.

Summary: This study investigated the use of endoscopic dysphagia relieving interventions and their potential impact on survival in esophageal cancer patients. The results showed that patients who underwent endoscopic interventions had worse survival outcomes, particularly those who had a stent placed. However, the causal relationship between the interventions and survival outcomes needs further investigation.

Summary: Using FLIP panometry and machine learning, a model was developed to predict and classify achalasia subtypes on HRM. The model can differentiate type III achalasia from non-spastic achalasia, with potential for clinical application.

Summary: This study measured the true prevalence of Cervical Inlet Patch (CIP) in a center dealing with specific esophageal diseases and found a higher prevalence rate than previous reports. Most CIP cases were single lesions, and many had a diameter larger than 10mm.

Summary: Over the past two decades, there have been changes in the clinical and endoscopic phenotypes of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), including an increase in the age at diagnosis and age at symptom onset, as well as an increase in the mixed endoscopic phenotype.

Summary: Adjunctive HRM maneuvers MRS and RDC appear to help identify clinically significant EGJOO. Patients with radiographic EGJOO were more likely to have elevated IRP and panesophageal pressurization during MRS and RDC.

Summary: This article describes a case of inappetence and dysphagia in a cow, which was diagnosed with a large pharyngeal abscess using ultrasound equipment. The abscess was successfully drained through a surgical procedure guided by ultrasound. The cow showed significant improvement and had a successful recovery postoperatively.

Summary: Dysphagia is a common problem affecting all ages, especially among the younger population. Careful history taking is crucial in evaluating dysphagia, helping to guide further investigation and therapy. Management is determined by the eventual diagnosis, often in a multi-disciplinary setting.
