Patients with refractory reflux symptoms often do not have GERD.
BACKGROUND In patients with typical reflux symptoms that persist despite proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) it is sometimes overlooked that treatment fails due to the presence of other disorders than gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this study was to determine the underlying cause of reflux symptoms not responding to PPI therapy in tertiary referral patients. METHODS Patients wit...
متن کاملLonger Term Clinical Outcomes after Radiofrequency Therapy for refractory Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
INTRODUCTION G astroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is extremely common and encompasses a diverse spectrum of clinical presentations. It has a substantial impact on patient quality of life and use of health care resources (1). GERD results from failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and cardia to prevent return of gastric contents into the esophagus. The pathophysiology of GERD is mul...
متن کاملDefining GERD.
"It is not the death of GERD that I seek, but that it turns from its evil ways and follows the path of righteousness." The reflux world is fully aware of what GERD is and what GERD does.

area where the ice shelf transitioned from ground support to free floating, the ice sheet grounding zone system (Science (2014) 345, 1354–1358). From their observations, the researchers concluded that the collapse was caused by the rising surface temperatures rather than by some instability of the grounding system. The authors write that their finding “adds to the scenario of instability now fa...
متن کاملMucosal impedance discriminates GERD from non-GERD conditions.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Current diagnostic tests for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are suboptimal and do not accurately and reliably measure chronicity of reflux. A minimally invasive device has been developed to assess esophageal mucosal impedance (MI) as a marker of chronic reflux. We performed a prospective longitudinal study to investigate MI patterns in patients with GERD and common non...
