Endoscopic evaluation of gastro-esophageal reflux disease.
Endoscopy is, currently, the initial investigation of choice for the investigation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in clinical practice and clinical research. Erosion severity is predictive of a patient's response to therapy and of the likelihood of relapse after therapy. It is, therefore, important to grade the severity of erosive reflux esophagitis, particularly in the context of cl...
متن کاملEndoscopic treatment of Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease: a tune-up

متن کاملThe Effects of Pantoprazole on the Treatment of Palpitation in Patients with Gastro esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A Case Series
Introduction: Atrial arrhythmia is a common complication in patients with gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The treatment of palpitation is relatively problematic in these patients, especially if there is not enough evidence of cardiovascular or systemic diseases. The esophagus is in close proximity to the left atrium posterior wall. Hypothetically, locally released cytokines from esopha...
متن کاملGastro-esophageal Reflux Disease
Gastro-esophageal reflux (GER) is a physiological phenomenon occurring in every individual. Gastro-esophageal reflux Disease (GERD) is a pathological condition where the reflux into the esophagus causes local changes and aspiration of the gastric contents in to the lungs can cause serious, even life threatening conditions. GERD is common but under-diagnosed condition in children. There are fund...
متن کاملGuidelines for Surgical Treatment of Gastro esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
In view of surgery, GERD is the failure of the antireflux barrier, allowing abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. It is a mechanical disorder, which is caused by a defective lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a gastric emptying disorder, or failed esophageal peristalsis. These abnormalities result in a spectrum of disease ranging from symptoms only, such as "heartburn", to esop...
