Esophageal Bolus Transit in Newborns with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Symptoms: A Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance Study
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate bolus transit during esophageal swallow (ES) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) events and to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of ES and GER events in a population of term and preterm newborns with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). METHODS The study population consisted of term and preterm newborns referred...
متن کاملDiagnostic difficulties during combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH monitoring in patients with esophagitis or Barrett's esophagus.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common esophageal diseases in developed countries. It is widely believed that GERD symptoms are caused by acid refluxate within the esophagus, so ambulatory 24 hour pH-monitoring became the gold standard in detecting gastroesophageal reflux. Traditional ambulatory pH monitoring is unable to detect a gastroesophageal reflux with pH >4. Th...
متن کاملCombined pH-metry/impedance monitoring increases the diagnostic yield in patients with atypical gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.
BACKGROUND Globus sensations, hoarseness and chronic cough are suggested to be atypical manifestations of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The aim of the study was to investigate whether combined pH-metry and multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring increases the diagnostic yield. METHODS 41 patients with atypical GERD symptoms were included in the study. Globus sensation was the...
متن کاملMultichannel intraluminal impedance and pH-metry for investigation of symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease.
BACKGROUND Combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH-metry (MII-pH) is a technique that enables monitoring of gastroesophageal reflux independent of its acidity. AIM To investigate the utility of MII-pH in the clinical investigation of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. METHODS 32 consecutive patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory MII-pH. 16 patients wer...
متن کاملDiagnosis and Anti-Reflux Therapy for GERD with Respiratory Symptoms: A Study Using Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance-pH Monitoring
BACKGROUND/AIMS Respiratory symptoms are often associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Although the role of multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring in GERD is clear, little is known regarding the characteristics of patients with respiratory symptoms based on MII-pH monitoring and anti-reflux therapy. We evaluated a cohort of GERD patients to identify the MII-p...
