Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1988
In these speculations of the future in gastro-esophageal reflux a hope is expressed that gastro-esophageal reflux disease is accepted as a separate entity.

There remains debate regarding the mechanism of this relationship and whether treatment of GERD improves asthma outcomes.Recent data have confirmed the high ...

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Pathophysiology

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2001
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is common in the Western world and affects a heterogeneous population. Structural and physiologic factors contribute to its pathophysiology, but the relative contribution of these individual factors varies between patients. Three main factors are generally central to the condition: TLESR, hypotensive LES tone, and hiatal
