Surgical Clinics of North America, 1987
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.

OBJECTIVES Role of reflux and mechanisms of response to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) have not yet been fully elucidated. Comprehensive assessment by impedance-pH monitoring could clarify these issues.

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.

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;

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.

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 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 ...

Seminars in diagnostic pathology, 2014
Esophagitis is a frequent cause of clinical symptoms and is often an indication for upper endoscopy. Mucosal biopsies are procured for diagnostic purposes and may be used to assess the efficacy of treatment, as in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis ...

Pseudomembranes in reflux esophagitis.
Radiology, 1986Three cases are presented in which double-contrast esophagograms revealed one or more plaquelike lesions in the distal esophagus, representing pseudomembrane formation in patients with severe reflux esophagitis. Although to our knowledge this finding has not been reported previously in the radiologic literature, pseudomembranes have been documented ...

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1994
Reflux esophagitis, usually the mild to moderate form, is found endoscopically in less than 50% of patients with classic symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). These patients tend to have low lower esophageal sphincter pressures, poor esophageal clearance, and hiatal hernias.
