Journal ArticleDOI

Proton pump inhibitors partially restore mucosal integrity in patients with proton pump inhibitor-responsive esophageal eosinophilia but not eosinophilic esophagitis.

TL;DR: The integrity of the esophageal mucosa is impaired in patients with EoE and PPI-REE, allowing transepithelial transport of small molecules and acid reflux-induced esophagal mucosal damage that promotes transe Pithelial flux of allergens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluating the Endoscopic Reference Score for eosinophilic esophagitis: moderate to substantial intra- and interobserver reliability

TL;DR: Using the EREFS, endoscopic signs of eosinophilic esophagitis were scored consistently by expert and trainee endoscopists and inter- and intraobserver agreement was not substantially different between expert andTrainee endoscopeopists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of esophageal motility abnormalities increases with longer disease duration in adult patients with eosinophilic esophagitis

TL;DR: The relationship between disease duration, clinical characteristics, and manometric pattern of EoE patients was studied to determine the risk for esophageal stricture formation and motility abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histological Response to Fluticasone Propionate in Patients With Eosinophilic Esophagitis Is Associated With Improved Functional Esophageal Mucosal Integrity.

TL;DR: Improvement of the mucosal barrier integrity correlates with normalization of expression of desmoglein-1 and filaggrin marker genes and reduces eosinophilic inflammation in adult EoE patients.
