    Abstract Background: The barium swallow is a commonly performed investigation, though recent decades have seen major advances in other esophageal diagnostic modalities.
    Purpose: The purpose of this review is to clarify the rationale for components of the barium swallow protocol, provide guidance on interpretation of findings, and describe the current role of the barium swallow in the diagnostic paradigm for esophageal dysphagia in relation to other esophageal investigations. The barium swallow protocol, interpretation, and reporting terminology are subjective and non-standardized. Common reporting terminology and an approach to their interpretation are provided. A timed barium swallow (TBS) protocol provides more standardized assessment of esophageal emptying but does not evaluate peristalsis. Barium swallow may have higher sensitivity than endoscopy for detecting subtle strictures. Barium swallow has lower overall accuracy than high-resolution manometry for diagnosing achalasia but can help secure the diagnosis in cases of equivocal manometry. TBS has an established role in objective assessment of therapeutic response in achalasia and helps identify the cause of symptom relapse. Barium swallow has a role in the evaluating manometric esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction, in some cases helping to identify where it represents an achalasia-like syndrome. Barium swallow should be performed in dysphagia following bariatric or anti-reflux surgery, to assess for both structural and functional postsurgical abnormality. Barium swallow remains a useful investigation in esophageal dysphagia, though its role has evolved due to advancements in other diagnostics. Current evidence-based guidance regarding its strengths, weaknesses, and current role are described in this review.

    Abstract Background: Timed barium swallow (TBS) is a recommended ancillary investigation in evaluation of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) obstruction, yet there are little data comparing esophageal stasis across subtypes.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed. All type III achalasia diagnosed between November 2016 and November 2020 were included, along with matched numbers of consecutive types I and II and conclusive EGJOO cases with concurrent TBS evaluation. Co-primary outcomes were TBS retention at 1 and 5 min. Secondary outcomes were symptoms and manometric metrics of EGJ function and peristaltic integrity.
    Key results: One hundred patients were included (25 each of types I-III and conclusive EGJOO). TBS retention measured by height and width at 1 and 5 min differed significantly across the four subtypes (p < 0.0001 all comparisons), with esophageal stasis tending to be significantly greater for types I and II achalasia (88% and 84% with >5 cm column at 5 min) compared to type III and EGJOO (24% and 8% with >5 cm column; p < 0.0001). Eckardt symptom severity was similar across subtypes (p = 0.30). Magnitude of esophageal stasis and integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) were uncorrelated (R = 0.21). In EGJOO, the number of swallows with intact peristalsis inversely correlated with barium column height (R = -0.49) and those with disordered peristalsis were more likely to have any residual barium at 5 min compared to those without disordered peristalsis (43% vs. 0%; p = 0.02).
    Conclusions & inferences: Timed barium swallow findings differed markedly with significantly less esophageal stasis in type III achalasia and EGJOO, despite similar symptom severity and no correlation between degree of emptying and IRP. Preservation of peristalsis may underlie this finding in EGJOO.

    Abstract Diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles (rectus diastasis, RD) is common, particularly in postpartum women. Although imaging is not always mandatory for assessment, several cross-sectional imaging techniques, in particular ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can depict the abdominal wall in exquisite detail. They permit simultaneous assessment of the degree and craniocaudal extent of RD, evaluation for co-existent hernia and subjective judgement of muscle quality. Increasingly, dynamic imaging techniques show both static anatomy and muscle movement and function. In this review, we highlight the imaging findings of RD, associated hernia, and potential mimics.

    Abstract Abstract: We developed an animal model of activity-induced muscle pain that is dependent on local macrophage activation and release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Activation of purinergic type 2X (P2X) 7 receptors recruits the NOD-like receptor protein (NLRP) 3 and activates Caspase-1 to release IL-1β. We hypothesized that pharmacological blockade of P2X7, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 would prevent development of activity-induced muscle pain in vivo and release of IL-1β from macrophages in vitro. The decrease in muscle withdrawal thresholds in male, but not female, mice was prevented by the administration of P2X7, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 inhibitors before induction of the model, whereas blockade of IL-1β before induction prevented muscle hyperalgesia in both male and female mice. Blockade of P2X7, NLRP3, Capsase-1, or IL-1β 24 hours, but not 1 week, after induction of the model alleviated muscle hyperalgesia in male, but not female, mice. mRNA expression of P2X7, NLRP3, Caspase-1, and IL-1β from muscle was increased 24 hours after induction of the model in both male and female mice. Using multiplex, increases in IL-1β induced by combining adenosine triphosphate with pH 6.5 in lipopolysaccharide-primed male and female macrophages were significantly lower with the presence of inhibitors of P2X7 (A740003), NLRP3 (MCC950), and Caspase-1 (Z-WEHD-FMK) when compared with the vehicle. The current data suggest the P2X7/NLRP3/Caspase-1 pathway contributed to activity-induced muscle pain initiation and early maintenance phases in male but not female, and not in late maintenance phases in male mice.

    Abstract The use of HILIC-based separations for the analysis of polar metabolites in metabolic phenotyping studies is well established. Here, we demonstrate the increased coverage of the polar metabolome obtained by travelling wave (TW) ion mobility (IM) instruments combined with HILIC and mass spectrometry (MS) for metabotyping rat and mouse urine samples. Profiling was performed using either a linear TW IM-MS based instrument with a path length of 40 cm or an instrument with a cyclic travelling wave analyser (cIM) with a path length of 95 cm. Due to the added resolution afforded by using both the linear and cyclic IM geometries with MS detection (IM-MS) significant increases in feature count (m/z-t

    Abstract International guidance recommends that readers be specifically trained before embarking on independent interpretation of CT colonography (CTC) examinations. Systematic comparison of both international training requirements and the effectiveness of CTC training is lacking in the published literature. Therefore, we identified available international training standards for CTC and performed a review of studies published in the last 20 years to assess the impact of CTC interpretation training on reader diagnostic accuracy. A wide variation in training requirements was observed. Studies of the effectiveness of CTC reader training were heterogenous in methodology, with large variation in sample size and the type of training administered. Although training in CTC interpretation improves reader sensitivity overall, it has varying impact on specificity. Consensus agreement on the best way to train and assess readers in CTC interpretation may lead to lasting improvements in reader performance.

    Abstract The value of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) as a sensitive diagnostic investigation for colorectal cancer is well established. However, there is lack of consensus in the best way to achieve expertise in interpreting these studies. In this review we discuss the value of CTC training, accreditation and performance monitoring; the qualities of good CTC interpretation training, and specific training cases with associated learning points.
