Even after President Donald Trumpâs executive order to begin construction of a border wall with Mexico, the actual plans are still the subject of speculation. From how long the structure will be (1,000 to 2,000 miles), to the wall's budget ($12 billion to $15 billion, or even $25 billion), and who will end up paying for it (Mexico! Or maybe not), the new administration has plenty of details to iron out.
Reviewed by Richard Alweis, MDAn esophageal polyp is a type of abnormal growth that protrudes from the lining of the esophagus. Esophageal polyps are rather rare in the general population, and in a broad-spectrum autopsy study were identified with a frequency of only 0.5%.iagnosis and Treatment. Overall, esophageal polyps occur only rarely, and usually do not produce any symptoms or require treatment. When they become problematic, the most common reported effect is dysphagia, with occasional respiratory problems, chest pain, and very rarely, instances of regurgitation.
The inner lining of the esophagus is known as the mucosa. It is called squamous mucosa when the top layer is made up of squamous cells. Squamous cells are flat cells that look similar to fish scales when viewed under the microscope. Most of the esophagus is lined by squamous mucosa. Goblet cells normally line the intestines, not the esophagus. When goblet cells are found in a place where they are not supposed to be, like the lining of the esophagus, it is called intestinal metaplasia. Intestinal metaplasia can develop any place where squamous mucosa is normally found.
