Barrett's esophagus, reflux esophagitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis.

چکیده
o r t R s h m f 3 o b Many new and exciting endoscopy-related studies on Barrett’s esophagus, reflux esophagitis, and eosinophilic esophagitis were presented during the 2012 Digestive Disease Week (DDW; 19-22 May, San Diego, California, USA). Endoscopic research in Barrett’s esophagus mainly focused on surveillance, detection, and ablation therapy, while clinical studies in eosinophilic esophagitis concerned budesonide treatment and dietary measures, and those on reflux esophagitis covered various issues related to anti-reflux surgery. In this review, we discuss our top 20 DDW 2012 abstracts on these three topics.

متن کاملCharacterization of bacterial biota in the distal esophagus of Japanese patients with reflux esophagitis and Barrett’s esophagus
BACKGROUND The distal esophagus harbors a complex bacterial population. We hypothesized that a better understanding of bacterial communities in the esophagus would facilitate understanding of the role of bacteria in esophageal disease. Here, we investigated bacterial composition in the distal esophagus in subjects with a normal esophagus, reflux esophagitis, and Barrett's esophagus. METHODS T...
