This study aims to investigate the detection rates, common symptoms and risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) at the digestive endoscopy center.A multicenter...
– Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic allergen-mediated disease of the esophagus. Pharmacologic treatment has largely relied on repurposing corticosteroids. Ciclesonide (CIC) is a corticosteroid for the treatment...
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is an extremely common condition with several medical and surgical treatment options. A multidisciplinary expert panel was convened to develop evidence-based recommendations to support...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and aspiration of enteric contents is associated with worse outcomes after lung transplant. The purpose of this study is to elucidate populations that benefit the most from fundoplication...
The incidence and health care costs of gout flares have increased in the United States. The increased costs may be a result of a lack of adherence to treatment guidelines and medication knowledge. Identifying causes for this...
