Esophageal Reflux and Esophagitis
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1971To the Editor.— Symptoms resulting from esophageal reflux and esophagitis are encountered frequently in medical practice. Various pain patterns, anxiety, dysphagia, regurgitation, bleeding, nocturnal cough, and wheezing are some of the familiar hallmarks of esophagitis and reflux.

The various therapeutic approaches for reflux esophagitis are to increase the competence of the antireflux barrier, to enhance esophageal clearance, to improve gastric emptying and pyloric sphincter competence, to coat damaged tissue, and, especially, to reduce the volume and pH of gastric contents.

Epidemiology of Reflux Disease and Reflux Esophagitis
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1989Symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux is a common medical problem. But only few data exist on the epidemiology of reflux disease (without inflammation) and reflux esophagitis. The literature is critically reviewed and ecological causes of gastroesophageal reflux are discussed. The prevalence of reflux esophagitis in Western countries is estimated to be 2%

Reflux esophagitis and its complications are not only common clinical problems but also problems that can be accurately defined by careful history taking and a knowledge of the pathophysiology of the various manifestations. An element of objective assessment, however, is required to define and substantiate fully an individual patient's problem.

In recent years, much has been learned about the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of gastroesophageal (GE) reflux disease. Mucosal resistance, gastric contents, esophageal acid clearance, gastric emptying, and incompetency of the lower esophageal sphincter are contributing factors to GE reflux.

Pathophysiology of Reflux Esophagitis
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1989Prolonged (24 h) intra-esophageal pH measurements have shown that short-lasting reflux episodes regularly occur in normal subjects, especially in the postprandial period. This phenomenon has been called physiological reflux. When the reflux episodes become more frequent and last longer, symptoms and esophagitis ensue.

Reflux Esophagitis and Scleroderma
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2001Despite improvement in pharmacologic management, the reflux seen in patients who have scleroderma is significantly greater than the reflux seen in patients who have idiopathic reflux. Furthermore, even with significant symptom improvement, half of the patients who have scleroderma do not show complete healing of esophagitis, owing to residual ...

Diagnosis of esophageal reflux often can be made on the basis of the characteristic symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation. When the picture is not so typical, acid reflux testing and esophageal biopsy appear to be the best indicators of esophageal reflux. Medical management is directed toward preventing reflux, neutralizing refluxed gastric contents,

Experimental Reflux Esophagitis
Archives of Surgery, 1966THE ESOPHAGUS is exceptionally sensitive to the erosive effects of acid gastric juice. 1 It seems clear that an anatomically poorly defined but physiologically competent sphincter located between the esophagus and stomach must prevent reflux of acid gastric juice into the esophagus. Destruction of this sphincter by incision or excision produces reflux;
