The incidence of esophageal bolus impaction: is there a seasonal variation?

TL;DR: There was a significant seasonal variation in the incidence of acute esophageal bolus impaction that was pronounced in patients with a coexisting atopic diathesis but was nonsignificant in patients without atopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysphagia and Quality of Life May Improve with Mometasone Treatment in Patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Pilot Study

TL;DR: The dysphagia and impaired HRQL found in untreated patients with eosinophilic esophagitis improved significantly after 2 months of mometasone furoate treatment, and a randomized placebo-controlled trial is warranted to assess causality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysphagia and health-related quality of life in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis: a long-term follow-up.

TL;DR: Symptoms and health-related quality of life in adult patients with EoE at least 1 year after diagnosis and a 2-month course of topical corticosteroids are surveyed, with a substantial burden of symptoms that improve significantly after treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Grade of eosinophilia versus symptoms in patients with dysphagia and esophageal eosinophilia

TL;DR: No correlation was found between symptoms or the HRQL and the number of eosinophils, however, higher numbers of eanophils at the proximal esophagus were found in patients with concomitant bolus impaction and could serve as a risk marker.
