Researchers[edit]

Skoch3 (talk) 02:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC): Not sure if EE researchers section will be added to article, but have a couple links:

Excellent[edit]

Excellent barium swallow!! Wow! That's one for my teaching file... I have a better multiple ring image that I'll put up in a bit. The barium swallow image on the right is achalasia I'm guessing, so I'll download and trim. I don't have a Commons account so I'll have to put the result on the en site -- Samir धर्म 04:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I wish I could take credit for it, but it's actually from some random guy on Flickr. I was looking for a new (free) image for pleural effusion, and had the thought to search Flickr for "x-ray" restricted to Creative Commons-licensed images. I didn't find any good effusions, but I did find half-a-dozen other useful films. So I uploaded them to Commons and added them to the relevant articles. (Incidentally, you edited the tiny version rather than the fullsized verison available from the description page.)  — JVinocur (talk • contribs) 23:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Removed Extrememe Makeover: Home Edition comments[edit]

No source. Irrelevant information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.150.154.217 (talk) 17:22, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Non Sequitur Needs Correcting[edit]

The following non sequitur needs correcting:

"The use of feeding tubes in these situations is often A minority of EE patients appear to be non-atopic (non-allergic), yet still present with this disease."

I imagine that the missing word is "required", but I would like for the original author, or in any case someone more competent than I in medical matters, to make the edit.Pernoctus (talk) 19:29, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Link between Celiac Disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis needs inclusion[edit]

122.58.233.105 (talk) 09:20, 31 May 2013 (UTC)It would be great if someone more qualified can include this new data: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-230X/13/96/abstract This study confirms the association between EoE and CD. However, this association may be limited to pediatrics where the risk of each condition is increased 50 to 75-fold in patients diagnosed with the alternative condition. The concomitant diagnosis of these conditions should be considered in pediatric patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms.

Feline esophagus should NOT redirect here[edit]

In the middle of studying for my diagnostic radiology boards I noticed that Feline Esophagus redirects to this page on eosinophilic esophagitis. This is incorrect. Feline esophagus is an observation of an anatomic variant during barium swallow in which transient transverse esophageal folds are noted.[1] It is so named because it mimics the mucosal fold pattern of the distal esophagus of the cat. It is associated with GERD. [2]
