Achalasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are on opposite ends of the spectrum of lower esophageal sphincter dysfunction. Heartburn is the main symptom of GERD. However, heartburn and regurgitation are frequently observed in patients who have achalasia. The diagnosis of achalasia might be delayed because these symptoms are misinterpreted as gastroesophageal reflux. Here, we reviewed ...

many systemic diseases affect oral health. the aim of this research was to conduct a systematic review on the association between dental erosion (de) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) and the effect of saliva’s flow rate, buffering capacity and oral microbial changes caused by gerd. all descriptive, analytical studies up to december 2011 that have relevant objectives, proper sampling m...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic disorder and the most common disease that affects the esophagus. A population-based study estimated that 20% of the U.S. adult population experiences GERDrelated symptoms at least once a week [1]. GERD can lead to esophageal mucosal injury in a subset of patients as well as bothersome symptoms, such as heartburn and acid regurgitation, which m...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common reasons for referral to a physician. reflux-associated extraesophageal symptoms occur in every third patient with GERD. Diagnostic difficulties and prescription effective treatment rapid resolve GERD are still important issues when managing these patients. This paper summarizes data on prevalence pattern symptoms, as well efficacy...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder with significant effects on the quality of life. The burden of GERD is soaring in Asia. Preventing symptom relapse is a therapeutic goal in GERD patients. Since proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are the first-line treatment of GERD, drug failure has become a major problem in the treatment procedure. We reviewed t...

Background The Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is not associated with the increase the acid secretion, but by failure of the antireflux barrier with one basal hipotone of the inferior sphincter of the esophagus that can be because of the medicines like Xanthine, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), alcohol or anticolinergics. The Asthma and GERD are common medical affections a...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a relatively common gastrointestinal disorder in the United States. The reflux of acid adversely affects the mucosal lining of the esophagus and is responsible for dental erosion. This article briefly reviews the etiology, risk factors, and medical management of GERD. The patient presentation describes the rehabilitation of a young adult with GERD who n...

Symptoms of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are commonly encountered in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to analyze the data obtained from questionnaires, high-resolution manometry (HRM), and ambulatory impedance-pH monitoring in patients with persisting GERD symptoms and to explore the possible underlying causes for this clinical presentation. After completing the...

background: reflux disease is a common gastrointestinal problem. the association between reflux disease and gastritis pattern is controversial. aim : to determine the association between reflux disease and gastritis pattern in patients with helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection. methods: 470 patients with dyspepsia and reflux disease were enrolled in this study. the inclusion criteria were ...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which gastroduodenal contents pass into the oesophagus and cause troublesome symptoms and complications. The aetiopathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease is complex and multifactorial. Acid reflux plays an important role in the GERD pathogenesis, both in erosive and non-erosive reflux disease. Reduction of GERD symptoms and mucosa...
