Disease relevance of Esophageal Fistula

Esophageal fistula complicating mediastinal histoplasmosis. Response to amphotericin B [1].
Pneumonia, in infants suffering from esophageal atresia with lower esophageal fistula, is usually caused by gastric reflux through the fistula, In order to abolish the acidity of the gastric content, Cimetidine i.v. infusion was used during the first 12--48 hr after diagnosis, while treating the pneumonia [2].

High impact information on Esophageal Fistula

An additional set of four dogs were prepared with esophageal fistulas and cerebroventricular guides, and the effect of ICV NPY on sham feeding was studied [3].
Treatment of esophageal fistulas with a new polyurethane-covered, self-expanding mesh stent: a prospective study [4].
Rats with esophageal fistulas, offered a concentrated glucose solution, sham drank relatively small amounts on the first session [5].
When fed by gastric perfusion 5 times (corn oil, 4 g/day) their usual dietary intake of fat, rats deprived of lingual lipase by the creation of an esophageal fistula had a significant degree of fat and bile acid malabsorption as well as a shortened bile acid half-life when compared to animals with a gastrostomy [6].
Goldenhar Syndrome with H type tracheo esophageal fistula [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Esophageal Fistula

The role of cholecystokinin (CCK) as a central and peripheral satiety factor was studied using the CCK-B (L-365,260) and CCK-A (MK-329) receptor antagonists in esophageal-fistula dogs [8].
