Comparison of esophageal motility in gastroesophageal reflux disease with and without globus sensation

Comparison of esophageal motility in gastroesophageal reflux disease with and without globus sensation.

BACKGROUNDS AND AIMS This study aimed to compare the esophageal motility between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients with typical symptoms but without globus sensation and GERD patients only with globus symptoms. METHODS A total of 57 consecutive GERD patients diagnosed by endoscopy or by 24-hour pH monitoring between May 2013 and September 2015 were included retrospectively into ...

Evaluation of the relationship between globus sensation and structural disorder of inlet patch in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease

Background: Inlet patch (IP) lesion is the presence of gastric columnar epithelial tissue outside of the stomach. Symptoms such as a lump in the throat, chronic cough, laryngitis, or other mouth-throat symptoms may be IP-related only and have no other abnormalities. This study aimed to determine the relationship between globus sensation and structural disorder of Inlet Patch in patients with ga...

Esophageal Motility and Gastroesophageal Reflux

Factors affecting esophageal motility in gastroesophageal reflux disease.

BACKGROUND There are conflicting data concerning the effect of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) on esophageal motor function. HYPOTHESIS Duration of GERD might affect severity of symptoms, grade of esophageal mucosal injury, and esophageal motor behavior. DESIGN Retrospective study of a defined cohort. SETTINGS Two referral centers, one of them academic, for esophageal gastrointesti...

Ineffective esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux disease: a close relationship?

BACKGROUND/AIMS An association between ineffective esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux disease is already known, but there are also some conflicting data. We evaluated the association between ineffective esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients who underwent ambulatory pH monitoring for the evaluation of reflux symptoms at Gazi University, Gastroenterology...
