The purpose of this study was to analyze non-dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (NDBE) biopsy tissue and compare the rate of somatic DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) in patients who subsequently progressed to high-grade...

While gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is common in Middle Eastern countries, little data exists on the epidemiology of Barrett’s esophagus (BE).We aimed to determine the prevalence of BE among patients undergoing...

The rapid expansion in the epidemiology of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is being documented, along with cumulative research assessing environmental exposures associated with EoE and susceptibility due to genetic...

The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) and National Readmissions Database (NRD) are two widely used databases for research studies. However, they may not provide generalizable information in regard to...

Although a third of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients are refractory to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, the underlying mechanism of the refractoriness remains unclear. We compared the level of gastric acid...

The few studies concerning the association between sleep disorders and functional dyspepsia (FD) have yielded inconsistent results. We compared the prevalence of sleep disorders in patients with FD and healthy controls, and...
