Active clinical trials for "Esophagitis, Peptic"

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dental erosion and the alterations in oral tissues. This was a case-control study. The GERD group consisted of 50 individuals with endoscopic esophagitis who had gastroesophageal reflux symptoms, and the control group consisted of 50 healthy individuals. The prevalence of teeth wear and caries was evaluated using the Smith and Knight tooth wear index (TWI) and the decayed, missing, and filled teeth index (DMFT), respectively. Inflammatory mouth sensitivity, tongue sensitivity, nonspecific itching and burning, halitosis, dry mouth, teeth sensitivity, and the erythema of the soft and hard palatal mucosa and uvula were also evaluated. Stimulated saliva samples were collected, and the salivary flow rate, pH, and buffering capacity values were measured.

The trial would to try to establish: The best post-operative PPI prescription protocol after Sleeve Gastrectomy The impact of PPI therapy on postoperative peptic diseases (erosive gastropathies, ulcers, duodenitis, esophagitis and/or Barrett) The impact of PPI therapy on post-operative GERD symptoms (assessed with the use of two standard tests: MRGE-HRQL and GERDQ

evaluate the impact of different anthropometric measures on clinical and endoscopic severity of GERD and its relation to serum leptin.

The objective of this investigation is to collect following data in patients given NEXIUM capsule (NEXIUM) in usual post-marketing use.

It has been reported that Baclofen is an appropriate tool in the therapeutic management of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. To objectify gastroesophageal reflux combined pH-metry/impedance monitoring was applied to patients with persistent reflux-associated symptoms despite PPI-therapy (40mg esomeprazole for 2 weeks). After provement of pathological findings in the test PPI-dosage was escalated to double standard-dosage for another for weeks. In case of persistent symptoms another ph-metry/impedance monitoring was performed. In case of pathological findings additional baclofen was administered to the therapeutic regime. After 3 months another ph-metry/impedance monitoring was performed. At the time point of the tests a questionnaire was completed. Aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of high dosage PPI-therapy and additional baclofen in patients with persistent symptoms and objectified gastroesophageal reflux.

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a worldwide prevalent gastrointestinal disorder which has negative impacts on quality of life, health and economy. The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of GERD among college students in southwestern Saudi Arabia and to evaluate its personal, academic and stress correlates Materials and Methods: Through a cross-sectional study design, a self-reported questionnaire was distributed between a representative sample of students in health and non-health care colleges in southwestern Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire included data for personal characteristics, academic study, and Arabic versions of GERD questionnaire (GerdQ) and Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale.

Laryngeal mask airway is seldom used for control ventilation in America, while it is popular in China. The question is whether the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux in control ventilation is really higher than in spontaneous ventilation. So the investigators combine the third generation laryngeal mask and catheter-based Digitrapper ph-Z monitor system to evaluate the exact incidence of gastroesophageal reflux in these two groups.

Using an active cohort of children in whom Airway and gastrointestinal endoscopy will be performed, investigators will conduct a chart review to obtain relevant clinical data and the investigators will use an aliquot of airway sample obtained during the clinically indicated bronchoscopy for microbiome analysis. A case-control study design will be used to study whether subjects with CC with GER have a distinct lung microbiome and increased inflammation as compared with subjects with CC without GER and to determine whether the microbiome and degree of inflammation is related to the type of GER (acidic versus nonacidic).

The hypothesis of this study was that gastric bypass (GBP) ameliorates gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in morbidly obese patients.

We aimed to risk faoctors for GERD and association between visceral obesity, plasma adipoline(leptin, adiponectin, IL-6, TNF-α)and development of reflux esophagitis in healthy Koreans.
