Erosive esophageal reflux vs. non erosive esophageal reflux: oral findings in 71 patients
BACKGROUND The purpose of this clinical study was to assess the prevalence of acidic oral mucosal lesions and periodontal conditions in patients suffering from erosive esophageal reflux disease (ERD) compared with non erosive esophageal reflux disease (NERD) patients, both treated with long term proton pump inhibitors (PPI). METHODS Seventy-one patients with diagnosed GERD were studied: i.e. ...
متن کاملSignificance of Non-erosive Minimal Esophageal Lesions in Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disorder
BACKGROUND Non-erosive reflux disorder, which represents more than 60% of gastro-esophageal reflux disorders, lacks objective parameters for diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between non-erosive minimal lesions at the lower esophagus and gastro-esophageal reflux disorder. METHODS Patients were asked to answer a symptom questionnaire. The endoscopic findings ...
متن کاملAlterations of Mast Cells in the Esophageal Mucosa of the Patients With Non-Erosive Reflux Disease
BACKGROUND Mast cells (MCs) are widely distributed in the gastrointestinal tract, which could be involved in visceral hypersensitivity and gut dysmotility. Whether esophageal MCs play a role in non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) has yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to characterize esophageal MCs distribution, degranulation, and ultrastructure. METHODS The esophageal mucosa at 5 ...
متن کاملEsophageal Intraepithelial Neutrophil Infiltration is Common in Nigerian Patients With Non-Erosive Reflux Disease
BACKGROUND Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is a variant of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in which patients with typical reflux symptoms have no evidence of erosive esophagitis at endoscopy. An objective diagnostic tool for NERD remains an unmet need for clinicians and researchers. This study was designed to determine the types of histological alterations seen in Nigerian patients wit...
متن کاملEndoscope versus microscope in the diagnosis of esophageal non-erosive reflux disease: a study of 71 cases.
BACKGROUND Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is a type of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) defined as symptomatic GERD without mucosal breaks on endoscopy. There is no gold standard for diagnosis of NERD till date. Biopsy from the distal esophagus in patients of GERD is said to reveal characteristic, although non-specific injury patterns such as squamous cell hyperplasia and intraepitheli...
