Current advances in the diagnosis and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is very common and defined as troublesome symptoms owing to excessive acid reflux. The spectrum of GERD is broad, including not only erosive esophagitis and Barrett's esophagus but also nonerosive reflux disease ...

Histomorphological differentiation of non-erosive reflux disease and functional heartburn in patients with PPI-refractory heartburn [PDF]
Proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-refractory heartburn may be due to persistent gastro-oesophageal reflux, oesophageal hypersensitivity or functional heartburn (FH). The differentiation between non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) and FH may be very difficult. However, this differentiation is important for appropriate therapeutic management.
