OBJECTIVE There are no objective ambulatory studies on the temporal relationship between reflux and cough in children. Commercial pHmetry loggers have slow capture rates (0.25 Hz) that limit objective quantification of reflux and cough. The authors aimed to evaluate if there is a temporal association between cough and acid pH in ambulatory children with chronic cough. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATI...

Background Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most frequent diseases of the upper gastro-enteric tract and incidence increases during lifetime [1]. In elderly patients [2] with a good LES basal tone and good peristalsis, evaluated with esophageal manometry, and even with a long exposure time fraction and a correlation between episodes of reflux and symptoms (SAP Symptom Assoc...

background: gastroesophageal reflux (ger), defined as passage of gastric contents into the esophagus, and ger disease (gerd), defined as symptoms or complications of ger, are common pediatric problems. the value of commonly used diagnostic tests for ger is examined to define the most sensitive and specific test that is the least invasive as well. materials and methods: we conducted this cross s...

To evaluate pre and post treatment results based on Laryngeal mucosal changes as assessed by direct videolaryngoscopy/stroboscopy using Belafsky scores. In our study we have evaluated laryngeal in patientswith dysphonia RSI 10 before after 6 months of with Tab. Pantoprazole Tab.Mosapride. This prospective was carried out 50 patients attending the ENT patient department ofa tertiary care referra...

BACKGROUND Obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease with pathological pH monitoring result may benefit from surgical treatment which is based on the fundoplication technique in association with laparoscopic gastric plication. The Nissen surgery is the gold standard for surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, whereas laparoscopic gastric plication is a res...

OBJECTIVE Given the demonstrated effectiveness of medical treatment together with the eminent acceptance of the laparoscopic approach, the indications of surgery in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are currently subject to continuous controversy. To participate in this debate, we have the following work hypothesis: "The results of the 360 masculine short and floppy laparo...

Chitosan hydrogels stand out for being an adhesive matrix, which presents biocompatibility, antibacterial and osteogenic properties, biodegradability, non-toxicity, capable of retaining, releasing, distributing therapeutic agents (drugs) at the application site. Therefore, new strategies in field orthopedics have focused, above all, on limiting initial preoperative postoperative microbial adhes...

Objective: given the demonstrated effectiveness of medical treatment together with the eminent acceptance of the laparoscopic approach, the indications of surgery in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are currently subject to continuous controversy. To participate in this debate, we have the following work hypothesis: “The results of the 360o short and floppy laparoscopic f...
