An important advance of the modern HRM-based classification is that it is hierarchical; the OGJ is considered first because pathology within the OGJ will influence oesophageal function.doi:10.1002/9781118872796.ch1.2Rami SweisJohn Wiley & Sons, LtdRamiSweis.

The inner body along with the pharyngeal thread is regarded to be potentially the precursor of the intestine. Currently there is very little information about the function of the inner body in the available literature. However, the transient nature of the inner body, being broken down within 2 ...
of the blastoderm upon itself. The entodermal layer within the head fold becomes the pharynx. This foregut is extended by an anterior growth of the whole head and by the union of lateral entodermal folds at its posterior boundary. In most forms, the hindgut arises by a similar folding in...
These regions of the gut differ in their cell structure and function (Ceccaldi, 1989). There are few studies describing communities inhabiting the foregut, however Alphaproteobacteria along with Planctomycetales dominated the stomach of healthy Pacific white shrimp (L. vannamei) in a study from ...
The main role of the mouth is to prepare food for swallowing via the oesophagus and its subsequent passage to the stomach. Salivary function is the most commonly assessed measure of oral function and can be achieved clinically by using the Challacombe dry mouth scale. Both dental caries and ...
SCOPE 1 was the first UK based multi-centre trial involving radiotherapy of the oesophagus. A comprehensive radiotherapy trials quality assurance programme was launched with two main aims: 1. To assist centres, where needed, to adapt their radiotherapy techniques in order to achieve protocol complia...
