Research on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Based on Dynamic Features of Ambulatory 24-Hour Esophageal pH Monitoring
Ambulatory 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring has been considered as the gold standard for diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and in clinical application, static parameters are widely used, such as DeMeester score. However, a shortcoming of these static variables is their relatively high false negative rate and long recording time required. They may be falsely labeled as nonreflux...
متن کاملWireless Ambulatory Esophageal pH Monitoring in Dogs with Clinical Signs Interpreted as Gastroesophageal Reflux
BACKGROUND Although gastroesophageal reflux (GER) often is assumed to be causative for upper gastrointestinal and respiratory signs in dogs, no attempts have been made to verify this assumption. OBJECTIVES To monitor esophageal pH with the Bravo pH system in healthy dogs and client-owned dogs displaying signs commonly attributed to GER. ANIMALS Seven healthy and 22 client-owned dogs. METH...
متن کاملAmbulatory 24 hour intraesophageal pH-monitoring in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
The results of ambulatory 24 hour oesophageal pH monitoring in 20 patients with established gastro-oesophageal reflux disease were compared with those of 20 healthy individuals with normal endoscopy. Cut off limits of pH 3, 4, and 5 were superior to pH 2 with respect to the discrimination of patients from normal subjects, and for the detection of pathological reflux. Using pH 4 as a cut off lim...
متن کاملEsophageal pH monitoring abnormalities and gastroesophageal reflux disease in infants with intestinal malrotation.
HYPOTHESIS Infants with rotational abnormalities of the midgut mesentery are at high risk for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and for sudden infant death (SID) from GERD. DESIGN A survey of the prevalence of GERD and the risk factor for SID from GERD in a case series of infants treated for congenital anomalies that include intestinal malrotation. Eighty-one (89%) of the infants studied...
متن کاملEsophageal Manometry and 24-Hour pH Monitoring to Evaluate Laparoscopic Lind Fundoplication in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic techniques have provided a new dimension in the correction of functional disorders of the esophagus. Therapeutic success, however, depends on the confirmation of esophageal disease as a cause of the symptoms, on understanding the basic cause of dysfunction and on identifying the surgical patient. This study is a retrospective study of patients submitted to surgery...
