PURPOSE OF REVIEW
The EsoFLIP integrates impedance planimetry technology into a dilator balloon capable of dilating from diameters between 10 and 30 mm via controlled volumetric distension while providing real-time visualization and objective measurement during the dilation procedure, potentially negating the need for fluoroscopy. This review aims to describe the use and application of EsoFLIP and the potential advantages this novel technology may afford.
RECENT FINDINGS
Small pilot and retrospective studies demonstrate EsoFLIP feasibility and safety, but larger studies are needed to understand its impact on clinical outcomes.
SUMMARY
EsoFLIP is an appealing new technology that offers advantages in therapeutic dilation of the lower esophageal sphincter in achalasia or of esophageal strictures because of previous surgery, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or radiation.

Review
One application area of computational methods in drug discovery is the automated design of small molecules. Despite the large number of publications describing methods and their application in both retrospective and prospective studies, there is a lack of agreement on terminology and key attributes to distinguish these various systems. We introduce Automated Chemical Design (ACD) Levels to clearly define the level of autonomy along the axes of ideation and decision making. To fully illustrate this framework, we provide literature exemplars and place some notable methods and applications into the levels. The ACD framework provides a common language for describing automated small molecule design systems and enables medicinal chemists to better understand and evaluate such systems.

The organization in hospital medicine services is characterized by its hierarchy, where the difference in knowledge and status between medical directors, heads of service, specialist doctors and residents implicitly entail a power dynamic that generates abuse. According to Bourdieu's symbolic theory, the framework that underlies abuse is formed by symbolic violence that materializes in complex relationships in which each person knows their hierarchical position and does not question it. But this symbolic violence is experienced unconsciously, where abuse is perceived as an attitude that is part of an established order where the abuser and the abused act without questioning the abuse and perpetuating the historically inherited model. To eradicate abuse of residents, it is necessary to become aware of the symbolic foundation of abuse that legitimizes and perpetuates it to unmask the relationship between the abuser and the abused, proposing a new relational framework based on respect and dialogue.
