Is the Neosquamous Epithelium "Normal" Following Endoscopic Ablation of Dysplastic Barrett's Esophagus?...

Barrett's EsophagusIntestinal Metaplasia1 more

The investigators propose a study comparing the morphological and functional aspects of the neosquamous epithelium (NSE) after ablative therapy for dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE) to that of native squamous epithelium in normal controls as well as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-Barrett's Esophagus (BE) subjects.

Follow-up of Patients Operated Upon for Type II-IV Hiatal Hernia

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease With Hiatal HerniaParaesophageal Hernia

Surgical therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia (HH) can achieve outcomes that afford the patient lifelong satisfaction. The published results obtained with this surgery may not be considered to be definitive in relation to the length of follow-up or patients' life expectancy. The real recurrence rates and the results of surgery for GERD are difficult to assess due to the lack of serial time points during the follow-up. Further bias may have been introduced into the analysis by a lack of appropriate controls. The results of surgical therapy for type II-IV HH are even more controversial because of the high rate of anatomical relapse and the different methods of follow-up adopted in reported case series. Aim of this study is to clarify the value of surgical therapy for type II-IV HH. The investigators report on patients who were followed up after surgery at various time points over the course of 30 years.

Diagnostic Efficacy of Narrow Band Imaging in Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder in Asia that includes erosive and non-erosive counterparts. The evaluation of intra-esophageal damage is of paramount importance because patients with erosive and those with non-erosive GERD have distinct manifestations and prognoses. Although proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) is the treatment of choice for erosive patients with excellent therapeutic response, the majority of reflux patients can be classified with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD).Narrow-band imaging (NBI) is a novel, noninvasive optical technique that adjusts reflected light to improve the contrast of capillary patterns compared with conventional illumination. Based on the standard procedure of sequential conventional white-light, NBI, and magnified NBI, the investigators have validated the reliability of the diagnostic testing. The investigators will also enroll NERD patients to test their therapeutic response to rabeprazole. The investigators can find out the best strategy to identify the PPI responder.

The Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) Test for the Extraesophageal Manifestation of GERD

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

PPI test;empirical trial with high-dose proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) has been shown to be a sensitive tool for diagnosing patients with GERD. However, this diagnostic strategy has not been well established in patients with extraesophageal manifestation of GERD. In this study, we aim to see the relevance of PPI test in diagnosing GERD in patients with extraesophageal symptoms.

Endoscopic Full-Thickness Plication for the Treatment of GERD: Long-Term Multicenter Results

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

The purpose of this study was to gather long-term follow-up data on patients treated with the Plicator in a previous open-label multi-center study. Originally, 64 subjects were treated at seven U.S. sites. A subset of those patients were subsequently reassessed via symptom questionnaires in this long-term (60-month) follow-up analysis. The initial open-label study was completed and officially closed at the completion of 1-year follow-up. This current study was designed to collect long-term follow-up data on previously plicated subjects all of whom were recruited de novo from the original study population. Study endpoints were prospectively defined. The primary study objectives were to assess: reduction in GERD symptoms through analysis of the GERD Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) questionnaire and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS); reduction in use of GERD medications, and change in overall physical and psychological health as measured by the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).
