  1. 1. Acid Reflux at the Gastroesophageal Junction. Pathophysiological and Diagnostical Aspects

    Författare :Mats Hall; Lund Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :reflux;

    Sammanfattning : Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has a prevalence of 20% based on weekly symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation. As reflux symptoms are unspecific for GERD, an objective evaluation of the presence of the disease is often needed. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Etiology of gastroesophageal reflux

    Författare :Magnus Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Gastroesophageal reflux; esophagitis; etiology; risk factors; population-based; casecontrol study; prevalence; body mass index; hormone replacement therapy; life-style;

    Sammanfattning : Although gastroesophageal reflux disease is among the most common disorders at all in Western populations, the etiology is largely unknown. The objective of this thesis is to increase the knowledge of the etiology of reflux disease by studying a number of potential risk factors, using population-based methods. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Gastroesophageal reflux disease - complications and prognostic aspects

    Författare :Dan Falkenback; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gastroesophageal reflux disease; Barrett s esophagus; natural course; GERD; Adenocarcinoma; prognosis; biomarkers;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates several aspects on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and associated complications as Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. I. To clarify the natural course of GERD, a pH-metry verified cohort was re-evaluated after 20 years. The course of GERD may well be progressive. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Endoscopic diagnosis of reflux-oesophagitis with special regard to computerized image processing

    Författare :Hanne Witt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :endoscopy; reflux esophagitis; computerized image processing; mucosalhemoglobin content; chromoscopy;

    Sammanfattning : The advent of the video endoscope is an important step in endoscope technology and it is of vital importance in the linkage between endoscopy and computers. The Charge Coupled Device ( CCD ) of an electric video endoscope transforms the light reflected from the mucosa into electric signals. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Gastroesephageal reflux and related motility disorders after esophageal atresia : a clinical study

    Författare :Madeleine Montgomery; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Esophageal atresia; tracheoesophageal fistula; gastroesophageal reflux; esophageal pH monitoring; respiratory function; gastric emptying; videomanometry STOCKHOLM 1997;

    Sammanfattning : The most common congenital malformation of the esophagus is esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Successful repair of EA does not ensure normal esophageal function. Disturbed esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are often detected after repair of EA. LÄS MER
