introduction
A sphincter is a set of strong muscles that
control opening and closing in the body; the
anus is the largest sphincter in the body.

Definition
Gastroesophageal Reflux disease, occurs when stomach acid,and sometimes bile, refluxes or flows back into the esophagusand mouth.
Basically, there is a one way valve between your esophagusand stomach that allows food to enter the stomach butprevents it from refluxing back into the esophagus.

Pathophysiology
Dysfunction of LESWhen LES becomesweak or does notclose properly, then
acid reflux can occur.
Barrier function:prevents reflux by
mutual contractionwith diaphragm&retains high pressureduring gastricdigestion

Pyloric stenosis
Pyloric stenosis is narrowing (stenosis) of the opening from the stomach to the firstpart of the small intestineknown as the duodenum
Due to enlargement (hypertrophy) of the muscle surrounding opening (the pylorus,meaning "gate"), which cause spasms when the stomach empties.
It causes severe projectile non-bilious vomiting.
It felt classically as an olive-shaped mass in the middle upperpart or right upperquadrantof the infant's abdomen.

Epidemiology
1.Males are more commonly affected than females ,and males
babies affected about four times
2.genetic predisposition.
It is commonly associated with people of Scandinavian ancestry, and
has multifactorial inheritance patterns.
3. blood typeB or O are more likely than other types to be affected.
4.Infants exposed to erythromycinare at increased risk fordeveloping hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, especially when the drug is taken
around two weeks of life and possibly in late pregnancy life.

causes Genetic and environmental factors may contribute to the
development of pyloric stenosis.
classificationPrimary type
Occurs without involvement of any apparent underlyingdisease or predisposing factors
Secondary typeoccurs as a consequence of a disease process. In some
cases, the narrowing of the pyloric region is not due tothickened muscle tissue but due to fibrous tissue.
It is often associated with:
Presence of gastric and duodenal ulcers,
Benign or malignant tumors of the stomach,
Bezoars (a ball of swallowed material that blocks the
passage of food from the stomach into the intestines).

DIAGNOSIS
Blood tests will reveal low blood levels
of potassiumand chloridein association with an increased bloodpH and high blood bicarbonate leveldue to loss of stomachacid(which contains hydrochloric acid) from persistentvomiting.
There will be exchange of extracellular potassium withintracellular hydrogen ions in an attempt to correct the pHimbalance.

Cont Imaging studies: Imaging studies that are useful in the diagnosis of
pyloric stenosis are:
1.Abdominal X-ray
2.Abdominal ultrasonography
3.Gastrointestinal barium swallow study (UGI series): The pyloric canal appears elongated and narrow. A mushroom-like
deformity may be noted in the pyloric region.
4.Abdominal CT scan: Reveals the thickening of pylorus muscle and helps to exclude
secondary type of pyloric stenosis.

Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction
Thesphincter of Oddi is the muscular valvesurrounding the exit of the bile ductand pancreaticductinto the duodenum, at the papilla of Vater.
physiology
The sphincter is normally closed, opening only inresponse to a meal so digestive juices can enter the
duodenum for digestion.

Sod allows chemicals-bile from the liver and pancreatic juice from thepancreas-flow into the small intestine to aid digestion.

Pyloric stenosis is condition when sphincter mechanism isdisturbed when hole is too tight there is a backup of bile andpancreatic juices which can result in abdominalpainand/orjaundice.
Blockage to the pancreatic orifice can cause pancreatic pain orattacks of pancreatitis.

A stent is usually placed for a period of up totwo weeks to keep the sphincter open. Then
the stent is removed.

Ileocecal Valve
The ileocecal Valve is located between the ileum and the cecum . Between the small
intestine and the large intestine is a sphincter-type valve called the Ileocecal Valve(ICV).
The purpose of this valve is to prevent backflow from the Large Intestine, once anymaterial leaves the Small Intestine.
It sends its watery waste products into the large intestine & Closes again quickly toprevent any materials in the large intestine

Injectable bulking agentThe gel is injected into the anal sphincter justbelow the lining that may help build tissue in the anal canal, therebynarrowing the opening of the anus and allowing the patient to bettercontrol their anal sphincter.
This device was approved the US Food and Drug Administration for
clinical use in 2011 in patients ages 18 and up.
