  1. 6. Gastroesophageal reflux disease in adults : the Kalixanda study : a population-based endoscopic study

    Författare :Jukka Ronkainen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common burden on health care resources in the Western world and deteriorates the health-related quality of life of those affected, but its manifestations in the general population are as yet unclear. Also, the impact of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms (GERS) on health-related quality of life in the general population is poorly characterized. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Wireless esophageal PH monitoring. Clinical evaluation of a new technique

    Författare :Jörgen Wenner; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; thresholds; specificity; sensitivity; diagnostic accuracy; adverse symptoms; wireless; pH monitoring; gastroesophageal reflux disease; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : Esophageal pH monitoring is important in the clinical management of patients with symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and in research aiming to clarify the mechanisms involved in the development of GERD complications. Catheter-based techniques for pH recording are uncomfortable, not well tolerated by all patients and cannot reliably measure acid exposure in the most distal esophagus the region most prone to reflux-induced complications.

  4. 8. Respiratory and esophageal morbidity in adults with repaired esophageal atresia

    Författare :Vladimir Gatzinsky; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Esophageal atresia; Long-term outcome; Pulmonary function; Esophageal morbidity; Gastro-esophageal reflux; Dysphagia;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Esophageal atresia (EA) often leads to persistent esophageal and respiratory symptoms, as well as impaired esophageal and lung function in adulthood. The reasons for this, and the connections between symptoms and documented abnormalities, are not fully understood. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Experimental studies on barriers of the esophageal mucosa

    Författare :Nadereh Poorkhalkali; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Esophagus; gastroesophageal reflux disease; glycoconjugates; lectins; esophagitis; basal cell hyperplasia; metaplasia; gastrin; cell kinetics;

    Sammanfattning : Reflux esophagitis is the multifactorial result of the failing of protective barriers and the aggressive assault on the esophageal epithelium by gastric contents entering the esophagus. The three main lines of defense against reflux are: the antireflux barriers, the luminal acid clearance and the epithelium itself. LÄS MER
