Does electron microscopy elucidate eosinophil degranulation patterns in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis?
These findings reveal that eosinophils in esophageal biopsy specimens from patients with EoE are abnormal, with greater than 80% showing cytolysis, and therefore that evaluation by means of light microscopy after hematoxylin and eosin staining might not accurately reflect eosinophil involvement.
Vomiting with aspiration due to lower esophageal sphincter dysfunction is common after acute strokes. Esophageal manometry serves as a guide to find the optimal feeding route.
